PLATFORM · PLANNING

The month plans itself from the trial balance.

The client’s trial balance becomes the chart of accounts and the plan for the month, and the partner’s judgement sets the order of work.

Early access opens in small groups. One email when your seat is ready.

01 · THE PLAN

The Scoping screen, in the app.

The trial balance becomes the chart of accounts and the plan for the month.

Each line of the client’s trial balance becomes a category the ledger is filed into. LZR scores every category against the ledger, and the partner’s priorities set the order the team works in.

The Scoping screen for June 2025: each trial balance category with its debit, credit, balance and priority, and Professional Fees open beside it (new this month, scored 0.808 and set to High).

02 · EARLIER MONTHS

Checked against the months before.

Four ways an account can surprise you.

Every category is checked against the client’s earlier trial balances. A surprise isn’t an error. It’s a reason to look.

  • Appeared

    A balance this month on an account that had none before.

  • Vanished

    A regular account with nothing on it this month.

  • Flipped sign

    A debit balance that turns up as a credit, or the other way round.

  • Left its usual range

    A balance well outside where it has sat before.

03 · PRIORITIES

The partner’s call, not the queue’s.

The partner’s judgement becomes the order of work.

The partner sets a priority on each category. Actions, the Ledger and Documents then follow that order, so the team starts where the partner thinks the risk sits.

Revenue: Products showed no anomaly. The partner raised it to High anyway, so the team starts there.

04 · AROUND THE BOOKS

The client, your tools, the Act.

The client, Tally and Zoho, and the law behind each rule.

Ask a client for a missing invoice, work with books kept in Tally or Zoho, and trace each rule to its section of the Act.

  • A client portal

    When a transaction needs an invoice, the portal asks the client for it directly.

  • Tally and Zoho sync

    Sync with Tally and Zoho, for practices whose clients keep their books there.

  • Rules that cite the Act

    Each rule names the section of the Act it enforces, so a reviewer can check it at the source.
