₹23 lakh recovered in 8 weeks — from books nobody had time to check
Spreadsheet accounting, audited and cleaned by AI.
A leading India-based communications company ran most of its accounting in spreadsheets — so duplicate invoices, missing entries and manual errors quietly piled up. In a two-month pilot, Acenra reconciled the books end-to-end and surfaced ₹23 lakh (about $27,000) in leaked and recoverable spend — running a reconciliation that would take staff 10–12 days in about 8 minutes.

The challenge
- Most of the company's accounting lived in spreadsheets, updated by hand across teams.
- Manual entry meant duplicate invoices, missing entries and errors that quietly accumulated.
- Catching it the old way meant a person combing the books for 10–12 days — so it rarely happened.
What Acenra did
- Connected Acenra to the company's spreadsheets and accounting records.
- Ran a full reconciliation across invoices, payments and ledgers in a single pass.
- Flagged every duplicate, missing entry and mismatch — with the source row for each, ready to fix.
The results
- ₹23 lakh (≈ $27,000) in duplicate and recoverable spend identified within two months.
- A reconciliation that would take staff 10–12 days completed in about 8 minutes.
- Duplicate invoices and missing entries caught before they compounded — books trusted again.
