The GST filing week, in one sitting

Around the 7th: close the month's entries, read the GSTR-1 that built itself, act on 2B/IMS, check 3B and hand off — checking, not compiling.

Around the 7th, every GST-registered business runs the same week. In Finocket the returns build themselves from your invoices — the week becomes checking, not compiling.

Close the month's entries
Sweep the day book for stragglers and reconcile the bank so collections and expenses are all in.
Read GSTR-1 before you file it
GST returns shows GSTR-1 built from your invoices — mixed-rate invoices split per rate, HSN summary attached.
Reconcile 2B and act on IMS
The 2B screen matches supplier invoices to your purchases; record accept / reject / pending per invoice the way the portal expects, and your eligible ITC totals honestly.
Check 3B and hand off
The 3B summary reads from the same books. File on the portal (or hand your CA the workings — every number drills to its source).

Clients, projects and invoices

Add clients with GSTIN + state auto-fill. Send invoices — tax invoice, bill of supply, export invoice, receipt or credit note — start from an estimate, or split an invoice into a deposit + milestone schedule.

Estimates, deposits and payment schedules

Send an EST-numbered estimate with a hosted accept link — your client accepts with a typed name recorded with a timestamp — convert it to an invoice in one tap, and collect through a deposit or milestone schedule that chases itself.

Progress billing and invoice templates

Bill an estimate, sales order or retainer in tranches — by percentage or amount — with a running billed/remaining tally that can never over-bill the job to the paisa, and pick from three invoice PDF templates that each keep your show-on-PDF custom fields.
