The whole methodology is a well thought out process of scanning and processing and is being used successfully by companies all over the world.

VAT Returns & Bookkeeping:
The source documents such as Bank statements, Cheque Book Stubs, Sales Invoices, receipts for expenses and purchase invoices recieved by the accounting firms are scanned and uploaded (usually as PDF files) to our secured FTP servers. Original documents send by the client are thereafter delivered back to them.

Sapphire's staff accesses the scanned documents and start the assigned tasks which could be preparation of excel sheets for VAT returns or reconciliation or posting of entries or analysis of financial statements and so on. All these functions are performed using appropriate accounting software (such as SAGE, VT etc.). Supervisors then review the tasks and inform clients of any open items needing further clarifications / additional information. After getting the complete information the task is completed and then verified. Subsequently the completed files are uploaded on FTP server and client is informed accordingly.


Tax Returns
Client's source documents (such as P-11s, P-60 etc.) are scanned and uploaded (usually as PDF files to our secured FTP servers.

Sapphire's Supervisors accesses the documents and allocate the return preparation work to the tax team. The tasks are assigned based on preparer’s experience and complexities involved in doing the return.

The preparers would bookmark and organize the scanned documents for easy preparation and review. He/She rolls over prior year return and start inputting the data/information into the appropriate software. While doing so, any open items requiring clarifications or additional details from clients are listed and sent to supervisor/client's attention.

Prepared returns are reviewed by the Supervisors and intimation about status of completed returns is sent to the CA firms for final review and filing
