Zoho Practice comes with client management, document management, task management, timesheet, and billing capabilities.
The application also offers a few industry-first capabilities, built from the ground up for distributed firms, like advanced collaboration through chat, voice or video calls, and document sharing. It also offers AI-driven anomaly detection to identify inconsistencies in transactions, so that the issue can be rectified quickly, the company mentioned. "Zoho Practice is a complete solution that consolidates all these important aspects, simplifying a CA firm's day-to-day operations, equipping them with the insights needed to provide exemplary services, and helping them manage their team efficiently," said CA Sanjib Sanghi, Chairman EICASA and, Vice Chairman EIRC of ICAI.
