About LaziLeo

LaziLeo is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) statutory compliance platform built for Indian Chartered Accountants, Company Secretaries, Cost Accountants, CA firms, and business owners. The Platform is organised into modules.

The FinStatements module (currently live) helps you convert a Trial Balance into signature-ready financial statements in three formats: Companies (Division I of Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013), Limited Liability Partnerships (the ICAI LLP format), and Non-Corporate Entities (the ICAI Non-Corporate Entity format), together with applicable Accounting Standards. Features include Trial Balance upload and parsing, auto-mapping to statement heads, a visual ledger-flow audit trail, journal adjustments, generation of the Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit and Loss, Cash Flow Statement, notes, ratios and disclosures, and export to Indian-format Excel and PDF.

Additional modules for TDS, GST returns, and ROC (MCA) compliance are planned and are described on the Platform as “coming soon”. Such features are offered only when released, and these Terms will apply to them on release.

• You have the legal authority to enter into these Terms (individually or on behalf of your firm/entity).
• You are not barred from receiving the Service under the laws of India or of any jurisdiction from which you access it.

The Service is intended for use by, or under the supervision of, persons qualified to prepare, review, and certify financial statements and statutory filings.

Accounts, security & firm teams

• You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your Account. Do not share your password or one-time codes with anyone.
• You must notify us promptly at support@lazileo.com of any actual or suspected unauthorised access to or use of your Account. We are not liable for losses caused by your failure to safeguard your credentials.
• Firm Workspaces: if you create or join a Firm Workspace, the firm administrator controls membership, roles, and access to companies and files within that workspace. By inviting a colleague, an administrator confirms it has the authority to grant that person access to the relevant Client Data. Roles and permissions are a convenience and do not, by themselves, allocate professional or legal responsibility among Users.
• One Account per individual. Accounts are personal to you and are not transferable without our prior written consent.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, legality, and quality of all User Content and Client Data, including Trial Balances, mappings, journal adjustments, basic details, and any selections you make. The Service processes what you provide; it does not audit, verify, or assure the underlying books of account.

Your independent professional judgment as a qualified professional is required to review, finalise, sign, and issue or file them. The Service does not replace the sign-off, certification, or attestation of a qualified professional.
• Authority and consent for Client Data. Where you upload Client Data, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to do so and have obtained all consents, authorisations, and engagement terms required from your clients and from any data principals under the DPDP Act and other applicable laws. As between you and Nirrathna, you are the controller of Client Data and Nirrathna acts as a processor on your documented instructions, as further described in the Privacy Policy.
• Statutory compliance remains yours. You remain solely responsible for compliance with the Companies Act, 2013, the Income-tax Act, 1961, the GST laws, ICAI and other professional standards, and all other applicable statutes, including the correctness and timeliness of any filing.

• All fees are exclusive of applicable taxes (including GST), which will be added where applicable and are your responsibility.

Your use of beta features is at your own risk.

Third-party services

The Service relies on third-party infrastructure and tools, including hosting, database, authentication, and email-delivery providers (for example, Supabase, Vercel, and Render). The Service may also let you import data from, or interoperate with, third-party accounting software. Your use of those third-party services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their acts, omissions, availability, or content. We do not endorse, and are not liable for, any third-party website or service linked from the Service.
