The job
The team uploads invoices to Tofu, which pulls out supplier names, tax numbers, addresses and the VATable and VAT exempt split. It then pushes draft transactions into QuickBooks Online. Processors review, correct and verify. The firm set up rules for Philippine tax authority requirements.

What happened
Preparing quarterly VAT reporting for one entity fell from a week to three days.
The managing director puts the saving at 50 to 60%. Because Tofu captures tax numbers, the same data feeds withholding tax reporting. The firm serves 40 to 45 clients.
Before you believe it
Tofu wrote the story, so it is a vendor story. The week to three days comes from the managing director testing it on one entity, so it is one trial not a firm wide figure. The page says 10 processors and gives no total headcount, so the 10 staff figure counts processors only. Tax authority checks still need a person, as the firm itself says.
