How Zuna Helped Zuperly Streamline Their Payroll Processes

Zuperly, a startup based in India, is working to transform the way one learns with an emphasis on documentation and retention. It helps students and professionals learn, remember, and master daily learnings.

With Zuperly, you can organize all of your learning materials- be it links, photographs, PDFs, audio files, or even videos, all in just one single place.

With a team of about 10 individuals and a bootstrapped business model, Zuperly is on a quest to enable the learning and productivity of 100 million learners.

What difficulties were they facing?

The company's founder, Kapil Reddy had to put in 20 hours of work a month to manage Zuperly’s finance & compliance, doing everything from paying bills to liaising with the auditors to preparing payslips. Despite some help from the CA, he could not concentrate on what was really important—building his business.

And that’s when Zuperly approached Zuna to streamline the processes and save the founder’s valuable time!

Zuna started by understanding how Kapil was spending his time and what his pain points were. We spoke to him for a thorough 40 minutes call to understand his concerns and put ourselves into his shoes to get a better understanding.

What changed since Zuna took over?

To begin with, we upgraded the payroll process. Previously, the entire payroll process was done manually. As a result, there was a lack of transparency regarding workdays, tax deductions, statutory deductions, etc.

By setting up the Zoho Payroll from scratch, we contributed to its transformation. Now, the process of generating the pay slips, creating multiple slabs for staff, leads, etc. till paying the employees on time every month has become simple and manageable.

And that’s not it. We performed a historical clean-up of the records and compliances to assist them in streamlining the process by having all the reports in one location and making it manageable to check at any time.

We examined the paperwork and found that there had been some delays in compliance, which resulted in interest, penalties, etc. Ever since we were appointed, we have made sure that the filings are finished on schedule ever since we took over.

When we make a commitment, we go above and beyond.

We are now working to replace the accounting software, which is currently a desktop-based software (tally), with a cloud-based solution (Zoho books).

Now, currently handle all the company's finances including core accounting, bank reconciliation and payroll, as well as automate their workflows and keep the organization compliant and hassle-free.

The founder has also benefited from being able to examine reports at any time, wherever he wants to, without having to get in touch with the CA!
