FAQ

Questions we actually get

What Fyliio does, what it does not do, and how it treats your clients’ documents.

Basics

What is Fyliio?

Fyliio is WhatsApp document collection software for Chartered Accountant (CA) firms in India and accounting firms worldwide. It asks each client for the exact documents a filing needs, checks every file they send on WhatsApp, reminds them until the list is complete, and shows your team who is done on one board.

Who is Fyliio for?

CA firms and GST practices whose clients already send documents on WhatsApp and will not use a client portal. It suits firms that chase the same clients every month before GSTR-3B.

Which filings does Fyliio support today?

GSTR-3B. Each monthly cycle asks for the sales register and purchase invoices, plus the bank statement for clients you reconcile. GSTR-1, TDS, and ITR checklists are planned on the same system.

Does Fyliio file returns or connect to the GST portal or Tally?

No. Fyliio does not calculate tax, file returns, or push data to Tally. It hands your team a complete, checked set of documents, and you file in the software you already use.

WhatsApp and reminders

Do my clients need to download an app or log in?

No. Clients keep using WhatsApp. They get a message listing what you need and reply with photos or PDFs. There is no client portal and no password.

When does Fyliio send reminders?

The first request goes 7 days before the due date, then reminders at 4, 2, and 1 day before. Nothing is sent between 9 pm and 9 am IST, reminders pause for 12 hours when a client replies, and they stop once the client’s list is complete.

Can a client stop the messages?

Yes. A client who replies STOP is opted out and gets no more reminders from your firm.

Why does Fyliio use WhatsApp templates?

WhatsApp only lets businesses start a conversation with a message template that Meta has approved. Fyliio’s requests and reminders use approved templates; normal replies are used once the client writes back.

Checking documents

How does Fyliio know which document a client sent?

Fyliio’s AI compares each file only with the items still open on that client’s checklist, checks that it covers the right month, and flags duplicates. It never guesses from an open-ended list of document types.

What if Fyliio reads a document wrong or is unsure?

Anything it is unsure about goes to your team’s review queue, and a person decides. Nothing unclear is ticked off automatically.

Security and data

Where is Fyliio data stored?

Fyliio’s database runs in Singapore on Amazon Web Services, and document files are held by Cloudinary under random names. Files open only through links that expire after 60 seconds. The Data policy lists every provider.

How long does Fyliio keep client documents?

WhatsApp messages and the files clients send are deleted automatically after 90 days. The record of which items were received stays while your firm uses Fyliio. You can ask for earlier deletion at any time.

Can one firm see another firm’s clients?

No. Every request is limited to the firm the staff member is signed in to, and clients never get a login to the workspace.

Does Fyliio use client documents to train AI?

No. Documents are used only to collect and check filings for your firm. We never sell them, and client documents are never used to train AI models, ours or our providers’.

Pricing and getting started

How much does Fyliio cost?

The Pilot plan is ₹2,999 a month for one firm and one deadline. Growth is ₹4,999 a month for firms running collection every GSTR-3B cycle. Larger practices get custom pricing.

How do we get started?

Request a pilot from the contact page or on WhatsApp. There is no self-serve signup yet: we set up your firm with you, import your clients, and run the first cycle together. Your clients message Fyliio's WhatsApp number, which routes each message to your firm.

Still have questions?

We reply during India business hours. Pilot setup is done with you, not through a self-serve wizard.
