Overview

CoreBase is a CA practice management software and ERP for CA firms that centralizes client onboarding, document collection, GST and ITR compliance tracking, task delegation, and billing in one platform — replacing scattered spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads, and manual follow-ups with a single automated workflow built specifically for chartered accountant offices.

Target Workflow Sequence in CoreBase

Visualizing how client requests flow through standardized pipeline stages seamlessly:

Phase 11

Client Onboarding & KYC

Clients sign up and upload PAN, Aadhaar, and incorporation documents directly into a secure portal — with built-in PAN and Aadhaar client document verification so nothing is missed at intake.

Phase 22

Document Checklists

CoreBase automatically alerts clients via WhatsApp and email to upload bank statements, invoices, and supporting files — powered by automated WhatsApp payment reminders with UPI QR for faster collections and fewer follow-up calls.

Phase 33

Computation & Review

Your team works off structured, sequenced checklists to compute taxes, run audits, and review files — with full article clerk task delegation and audit trails so partners always know who's working on what.

Phase 44

Filing & Auto-Billing

File returns on government portals, mark the task complete, and auto-dispatch a professional invoice — no manual billing follow-up required.

Phase 5 (Add-on)5

Incorporation & Statutory Tracking

For firms handling company formations, CoreBase supports a multi stage company incorporation workflow with built-in DSC and SPICe Part B filing status tracking, so ROC and MCA milestones are as visible as your tax deadlines.

Traditional Workflow Bottlenecks

Without specialized workflow management, ca firms face recurring operational delays that restrict billing growth and impact client retention:

⚠️

Missing client tax documents and credentials, leading to last-minute compliance rushes.

⚠️

Scattered spreadsheets for tracking hundreds of recurring due dates — GST, ITR, Audit, ROC — with no centralized GST and ITR client compliance deadline tracking.

⚠️

Lack of team oversight on who is currently processing which file, and where bottlenecks are forming across your firm.

⚠️

Manual invoice tracking for services rendered, causing delays in professional fee recovery and cash flow gaps.

How CoreBase Automates and Solves

CoreBase transforms manual processes into trackable, automated compliance pathways:

01.Automated Client File Requests

Set checklist templates for ITR, GST, or audit engagements and let CoreBase automatically follow up with clients via WhatsApp, email, or SMS until every file is securely uploaded — backed by ca client document tracking so nothing falls through the cracks.

02.Pre-Configured Compliance Pipelines

Drag and drop client files through customized pipelines — GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, tax audits, ROC filings — with automated, step-by-step checklists. This is ca firm workflow automation and ca firm task delegation software built into one pipeline view, so managers always know which associate owns which task.

03.Client Portal & Payment Collection

Clients securely upload documents, track case status in real time, and pay invoices instantly through integrated payment gateways. CoreBase's 4 document billing engine for CA firms generates GST-compliant invoices automatically the moment a task is marked complete.

04.Document Management Built for Compliance

Every client file lives in one encrypted, searchable document management system for chartered accountants — organized by client, financial year, and service type, with 256 bit encryption and tenant isolation ensuring your practice's data (and your clients' data) never mixes with another firm's.

05.Billing Software for CA Firms

Stop chasing partial payments across email and WhatsApp. CoreBase's billing software for CA firms auto-generates invoices tied to completed checklist stages, tracks partial payments, and sends automated WhatsApp payment reminders with UPI QR codes until dues are cleared.

Why Chartered Accountants Choose CoreBase Over Generic CRMs

Most CRMs and generic task tools weren't built for the compliance-heavy, deadline-driven reality of a CA office. CoreBase was designed specifically as software for CA firms and CA professionals in active practice — not adapted from a sales CRM. That means native support for GST/ITR compliance calendars, article clerk delegation, PAN/Aadhaar-based KYC, and India-specific billing formats — the operational details a generic CRM for chartered accountants simply doesn't account for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we set custom checklists for different CA services?

Yes. CoreBase lets you define service packages — auditing, tax filing, GST, ROC compliance — and attach each one to a specific pipeline with its own checklist and automated document requests.

Is document storage secure?

Yes. All client files are stored with 256-bit encryption and tenant isolation in dedicated cloud storage, accessible only to authorized staff within your firm — no cross-client or cross-firm data exposure.

Is CoreBase a CRM or an ERP for CA firms?

CoreBase functions as both. It works as a CRM for chartered accountants for lead and client relationship tracking, and as a full ERP for CA firms covering document management, task delegation, compliance pipelines, and billing — in one system.

What is the best CA practice management software for small and mid-size firms in India?

Yes. CoreBase includes a built-in GST and ITR client compliance deadline tracking system with automated client reminders, staff checklists, and real-time status visibility across every active filing.
