“It all started from making a business recover from a predicted loss,” says Sanmaya Kumar Dhal, CEO & Founder of SlickAccount, a company in the accounting software space. As it is said when one passes through a smart failure, he or she will definitely dissect in a moment and find pathways that lead to success which was not been seen from the other side. Similar instance took place with the three co-founders Sanmaya, Bibhu & Jyoti who had embarked on an entrepreneurial journey with a small business, but the business soon started dying. Though they were adding a lot of volumes in terms of clients at the same time, they were losing a lot of money. Identifying that as the accounting software was a jargon for many, they started analyzing and developed a simple cash flow kind of stuff just to understand, get insights. Even though they dealt with loads of projects, marketing channel and reduced the pricing but they suffered loss due delays, payment & more. Thus, hitting their head they came up with a recovery plan. Understanding that sale from one channel is not going to help they closed the marketing channel completely, increased their pricing, conveyed the customers and gained immense profitability.

“The turning point actually came in when we forwarded this model to one of our clients. After listening to us she suggested us to start a company in this space and took us off to her CA. But the actual thought ripped in where her CA was not agreeing to it. That time we realized that if the company is battling with the CA, then there must be some thing extraordinary. Thus, that’s how Slick Account started and the rest is history,” says Sanmaya.

Bhubaneswar based SlickAccount visions to bring in the new age of accounting with integrating the traditional accounting forms with the latest technological implications. Overcoming the journey right from pitching the idea to conducting campaigns and make people understand by using the mediums like twitter, Facebook, and through its own blog, SlickAccount came up with a pretty simple accounting software that is intelligent enough to tell when something is going wrong and immediately act to it. The company was able to receive a lot of international attention as well as with getting a lot of positive responses from the accounting software industry.
