Multi-user · role-based access

Everyone in the same books, at the same time.

What is multi-user accounting software?

Multi-user accounting software lets more than one person work in the same set of books at the same time, each with their own login. It's the opposite of the classic single-user desktop model, where one machine holds the data file and collaboration means emailing backups or working in shifts. TatvaBooks is cloud and multi-user by design — your sales team, your accountant and your CA can all be in the books together.

Role-based access, not all-or-nothing

Each user gets access that matches their job — a sales executive can raise invoices without seeing payroll; your CA can see everything they need without you granting blanket admin rights. Business includes up to 3 users, Growth up to 8, and Practice gives CA firms 3 staff seats per engagement across their client books.

Frequently asked questions

What is multi-user accounting software?
Multi-user accounting software lets more than one person work in the same books at the same time, each with their own login and permissions — as opposed to single-user desktop tools where one person holds the file and everyone else waits, or emails backups around.
How many users does TatvaBooks support?
Business supports up to 3 users, Growth up to 8, and Practice up to 3 firm staff seats per client (with unlimited clients up to the plan's limit). Extra users beyond the included count are ₹150/user/month.
Can I control what each user sees or edits?
Yes — role-based access means you decide who can post entries, who can only view reports, and who has access to payroll or sensitive data. A sales executive raising invoices doesn't need to see payroll.
Can my CA be a user too?
Yes — invite your CA as a user with whatever access level makes sense. They work directly in your live books instead of you emailing backups or exports back and forth.
Is multi-user access available on the free plan?
Solo (₹0) is built for a single user by design — it's for solopreneurs. Multi-user access starts on the Business plan at ₹599/month.
