Accounting & Tax Firm software — your questions
Can the software work offline if our internet goes down?
Yes. Alfa Decode is local-first and runs on your own device with no internet. Staff can log time and raise invoices offline, and everything syncs automatically to the cloud once you are back online.
Does it handle GST for India and VAT for the UAE?
Yes. GST invoices and reports for India and VAT invoices for the UAE are built in from one codebase. You raise compliant invoices and pull the reports you need without extra add-ons or workarounds.
Can we bill clients hourly, on fixed fees and on retainers?
Yes. Each engagement carries its own billing basis, whether hourly, fixed-fee or retainer. You can bill unbilled time, fixed fees or retainers directly into a real GST or VAT invoice whenever you choose.
How do we track which staff are profitable?
Timesheets show utilisation and billable-value reports per staff member. You can see who is fully booked, who has idle capacity and how much billable value each person generates from their logged hours.
Is it Cloud or On-Premise, and can it be branded?
Both. Choose Cloud as a subscription or On-Premise as a one-time licence with AMC, from the same codebase. A white-label option lets you present the platform under your own firm's branding.
