Start without re-keying your masters.
Export your masters from Tally and upload the CSV. We import your customers and suppliers so you're not typing them in again. You set the opening balances as on your cut-over date, then keep Tally read-only and run the two in parallel.

Marg ERP / others
If it exports a CSV, we can take the masters.
Most Indian accounting tools export their masters to CSV. If yours does, we can import your customers and suppliers — and we'll tell you honestly on the first call what comes over and what stays behind.
What we bring over today
- Customers & suppliers (CSV)
- Stock items — set up with our help
- Opening balances — set with our help
- Honest scoping on the kickoff call
The process
A few steps. No big bang.
01
Day 0
A quick call
20–30 minutes with someone on our team. What you're on today, what to bring over, and the cut-over date you want to start from.
02
Day 1
Export your masters
From your current system, export customers and suppliers to CSV. We'll show you exactly which export to use.
03
Day 1
Import + opening balances
Upload the CSV and we import your masters. Then we help you set opening balances as on the cut-over date, so your Trial Balance ties to last year's audited closing.
04
Day 1 onward
Run in parallel
Keep your old system read-only for its history. Post new transactions in TatvaBooks and reconcile at month-end. Nothing is lost — both sets of books are there.
05
First cycle
Your first GST cycle, together
We stay on WhatsApp through your first GST cycle. Once you've filed one clean cycle from TatvaBooks, the old system retires.
What we promise
Four promises we'll put in writing.
No lock-in, ever
Export your ledgers and reports to CSV anytime, at no charge. Your data is yours — there's no hostage situation if you decide to leave.
Your history stays safe
We don't touch your old system. Keep Tally or Zoho read-only as your historical archive for as long as you like — most firms keep it licensed for six to twelve months.
A real person, not a ticket
During the beta, someone on our team — Indian CAs — helps you get set up and answers on WhatsApp. The same people who build the product help you onboard.
We'll tell you what we can't do
If something you rely on isn't in TatvaBooks yet, we'll say so on the first call — not after you've switched. That's the whole point of books that tell the truth.
What it costs
Beta onboarding — included, no cost.
During private beta we help you get set up at no cost: the kickoff call, importing your masters, setting opening balances, a go-live walkthrough and a hand on your shoulder through the first GST cycle. Public-launch pricing is still being finalised.

Frequently asked
Before you switch.
Your masters — customers and suppliers — imported from a CSV, so you're not re-keying them. You set your opening balances as on the cut-over date (we help), and historical vouchers stay in your old system, which you keep read-only and run in parallel. Automated migration of historical transactions is something we're building; we'll be honest about where it is when you call.
No reason to wait
Tally is fine. TatvaBooks is the next ten years.
Bring your masters over, set your opening balances, and run a parallel cycle. If TatvaBooks doesn't make your month-end cleaner, you've lost nothing — your old books are still there.
