For small businesses
Accounting software for small businesses — books, GST, payroll and stock in one.

Books anyone can keep.
Books your CA can trust.
Your sales executive can raise GST-compliant invoices from the customer's site. Your office assistant can post receipts and bills at end of day. Your CA inherits clean books at month-end — the system has already blocked the mistakes that would have made them argue with you about it.
You stop being the bottleneck. The product handles the accounting decisions your team shouldn't have to learn.
By industry
Built for the way Indian businesses actually run.
Retail & wholesale
Multi-location stock and GST invoices in one ledger.
Raise GST-correct invoices from any laptop or tablet. Track stock by item and by location, with perpetual valuation and automatic COGS. Every customer's sales and receipts in one ledger.
Services & consulting
Invoice clients, track receivables, account for TDS.
Raise GST-correct invoices, issue credit and debit notes, and keep a clean ledger of what each client owes. Record the TDS your clients deduct under Section 194J so your receipts reconcile to the rupee.
Manufacturing
Single-level BOM with AS-2 finished-goods costing.
Define a bill of materials, post production entries, and let TatvaBooks value raw material, WIP, finished goods and by-products on an AS-2 periodic basis — with conversion costs pooled in. Real manufacturing accounting, without an ERP price tag.
Exports
Export invoices and IGST-ready books.
Raise GST-correct export invoices and keep books that hold up at assessment time, with full drill-down from any number to the underlying entry. Foreign-currency invoicing isn't in the product today — books are INR.
D2C & e-commerce
One ledger for every sales channel.
Record sales from Amazon, Flipkart, Shopify and Meesho into a single set of books, account for commissions and TCS under Section 52, and reconcile your bank statement against what actually settled.
Construction & real estate
Sub-contractor payments and 194C TDS, cleanly booked.
Book sub-contractor bills and payments, handle TDS under Section 194C, and keep Schedule III books with full drill-down for residential and commercial work.
Accounting & billing software by industry
What you get
The whole stack, not just a piece.
Books that even non-accountants can run
We hide the journal entries. You invoice a customer, pay a bill, the entries happen behind the scenes. Open the books only when your CA asks.
GST reconciliation and e-invoicing, done in the books
Raise GST-correct invoices and credit/debit notes. Import your GSTR-2B and reconcile purchases so you only claim the ITC you're entitled to. e-invoice-ready (IRN and QR) — live filing to the NIC portal is coming.
Payroll without a separate tool
Salary, PF (with EDLI and admin), ESI, state PT slabs, TDS under Section 192, and full-and-final settlement — all inside TatvaBooks, posted straight to your books. A mobile app for employees is coming during the beta.
Real reports, not vanity dashboards
Profit & loss, balance sheet, trial balance, day book and ledgers — all from your live books. Drill down from any number straight to the exact voucher or invoice behind it, and export to CSV.

Common questions
What SMB owners ask before switching.
I'm running my business on Tally. Why move?
Tally is single-machine, single-user (without expensive add-ons), and offline. TatvaBooks is multi-user, multi-device and multi-location, with bank-statement import and reconciliation and GST reconciliation built in. If anyone in your team is using WhatsApp to share Tally screenshots — you've already outgrown Tally.
Can my CA still see my books?
Yes, and more easily than before. Invite your CA as a user — they see everything they need, work straight from your live books, and you both look at the same numbers in real time. No more emailing Tally backups.
What if my internet goes down?
TatvaBooks is a cloud product, so you'll need an internet connection to work in your books. We take encrypted daily backups in India (AWS Mumbai) that you can download anytime, so your data is never tied to one machine the way a Tally file is.
We hold inventory across several warehouses. Will it handle that?
Yes. TatvaBooks tracks stock across multiple locations with per-location valuation (FIFO or weighted-average) and perpetual COGS, so you always know what's where and what it's worth.
How long does setup take?
Fresh setup takes about 30 minutes. If you're coming from Tally, Zoho or Excel, you can import your customer and supplier masters from a CSV in minutes and start invoicing the same day. Bringing over opening balances is hands-on, and we help you with it during the beta.
Is there free accounting software for a small business?
Yes. TatvaBooks Solo is free forever (₹0) with unlimited GST-correct invoices and GSTR-2B reconciliation, for solopreneurs and micro businesses up to ₹25 lakh turnover — no card, no expiring trial. When you need inventory, payroll or multiple users, the Business plan is ₹599/month. Full detail on our free accounting software page.
Which is the best accounting software for a small business in India?
It depends on whether you want cloud or desktop, and how much accounting depth you need beyond billing. For a GST-registered small business that wants correct books in the cloud with easy CA access, TatvaBooks is built for exactly that. We compare it honestly against Tally, Zoho Books, Vyapar and Busy on our best accounting software in India page.
