The intelligence layer between your ERP and your finance team's decisions
Most finance teams spend 70% of their time collecting and reconciling data. IQSS builds the automation layer that flips that ratio - starting with a 5-day diagnostic, deploying a running monitoring system in 8 weeks.
Fixed scope. No retainer commitment.

The problem
Finance teams are not understaffed. They are under-automated.
of finance team time spent on data collection and reconciliation - not analysis
of enterprise AI pilots abandoned - almost never because the technology failed

The tools exist. The blockers are data quality, workflow mapping, and implementation accountability. IQSS starts with a 5-day diagnostic that produces a specific, actionable finding - regardless of whether you proceed with a Sprint.
How it works
Three stages. One compounding outcome.
Finance AI Diagnostic
A structured 5-day assessment across your AP, vendor master, month-end close, cash flow, and reporting workflows. You receive a Finance Automation Roadmap with findings ranked by effort and financial exposure.
- Vendor Master Health Score (0-100)
- Top 3-5 findings with root cause and evidence
- Automation roadmap across 5 domains
- CFO-ready findings presentation
The Diagnostic is the product - not a sales step. You get the roadmap regardless of what comes next.
Automation Sprint
A focused 8-week build that deploys a running monitoring system - not a one-time cleanup. Sprint 1 targets vendor master intelligence: the automation runs daily after handover, flags new violations, and tracks vendor risk continuously.
- Duplicate vendor detection and GSTIN validation
- Daily AP exception alerts
- AI-drafted monthly vendor health report
- Team training and full documentation
File upload model. No IT project, no ERP integration. The monitoring runs after we leave.
Intelligence Retainer
Operation of all deployed Sprint modules, plus a monthly Finance Operations Intelligence Brief - risk score movement, new flags, one recommended action. Each new Sprint expands coverage: Duplicate Payments, AP Exception Intelligence, AR Collections.
- Monthly Finance Operations Intelligence Brief
- Monitoring and operation of all active Sprint modules
- Next Sprint scoping and delivery
- Quarterly ROI review and direct access to a senior finance operations advisor
Automation compounds. Each Sprint reduces the manual workload the next Sprint inherits.
"An Excel macro tells you there are 3 vendors with the same GSTIN. We tell you which one is most likely to cause a duplicate payment this month, why it happened, and exactly what to automate to prevent it from happening again."See how the Diagnostic works →
The Sprint Stack
Four engagements. Each one adds a module to your monitoring system.
The Diagnostic determines your starting point. For most clients, that is Sprint 1.
Vendor Master Intelligence
Duplicate vendors, cancelled GSTINs, missing TDS categories, and stale bank accounts accumulate over years. Most finance teams discover the damage during an audit.
- Vendor master cleaned and validated against GST portal data
- GSTIN, TDS category, and PAN compliance rules configured
- Duplicate vendor detection - same PAN, same GSTIN, same bank account
- Bank account change monitoring before the next payment run
- Monthly Finance Operations Intelligence Brief - Vendor Master module
Duplicate Payment Detection
At ₹25 Cr+ monthly AP spend, duplicate payments are a statistical certainty. Same vendor, same invoice amount, two payments - the money leaves before anyone notices.
- Duplicate payment detection rules configured for your AP patterns
- High-risk transaction flagging before payment run
- Recovery tracking for confirmed duplicates
- Monthly Brief - Duplicate Payment module added
AP Exception Intelligence
Low first-pass match rates mean your AP team spends most of its time resolving exceptions manually. Payment cycles stretch, vendor relationships suffer.
- AP exception classification - PO mismatch, quantity and price variance
- First-pass match rate baseline and improvement tracking
- Exception aging - where the bottleneck is and how long it takes to clear
- Monthly Brief - AP Exception module added
AR Collections Intelligence
Collections teams work from static ageing reports. By the time a receivable hits the 90-day bucket, the window for easy recovery has closed.
- Receivables ageing with customer payment behaviour patterns
- Early warning flags before payment delay happens
- Collections prioritisation - which accounts to call first, in which order
- Monthly Brief - AR Collections module added
Why IQSS
Three things no competitor combines
India compliance depth
GST reconciliation, GSTIN validation, TDS deduction, e-invoicing mandates, audit frameworks. Built through years of actual deployments at Indian mid-market companies - not retrofitted from a global template.
No US-based AI startup or Big 4 firm builds this depth quickly. It takes deployment experience. IQSS has it from day one through IQInvoice deployments across manufacturing, automotive, retail, and GCCs.
Implementation accountability
Senior-led throughout. The person who scoped the Diagnostic is the same person who builds the automation and hands it over - trained, documented, and running.
Big 4 charges Rs.50-200L and takes 6-12 months. The work is done by analysts 3 levels below the partner you met. IQSS delivers the same output in 8 weeks, at one-tenth the cost.
Monitoring-first delivery
Sprint 1 doesn't end at handover. The monitoring system runs after we leave - flagging new violations, tracking vendor risk scores, sending exception alerts. The retainer operates what we built, not a new project each time.
SaaS vendors sell subscriptions. Big 4 delivers reports. Generic agencies hand over workflows. IQSS delivers a running system - and stays to operate it. Rs.3-6L Sprint. 8 weeks. Single CFO decision.
