Tally alternative
Everything Tally does. Without the desktop.
Tally has run Indian accounting for decades — but it lives on one machine, needs an AMC, and still leaves GST filing as a manual export. Finkitaabh keeps the double-entry rigour and moves the whole thing to the cloud.

Why businesses look for a Tally alternative
Tally is genuinely good at what it was built for: a rigorous, fast, double-entry ledger running on a machine in your office. The friction shows up around it. Your accountant has to be at that desk, or on a remote-desktop session. Adding a second user or a second company usually means another license. The data lives on one hard disk, so backups are somebody's daily discipline rather than a property of the system.
GST is where it gets expensive in hours. Tally will compute your tax correctly, but turning that into a filed GSTR-1 or GSTR-3B is still an export-check-upload cycle every month, and any mismatch sends you back through the ledger by hand.
Finkitaabh keeps the part that matters — an immutable, append-only double-entry ledger compliant with MCA Rule 11(g) — and rebuilds everything around it for the cloud: GSTR-1, 3B and 9 generated straight from your books, E-Way Bills created automatically above ₹50,000, and bank statements reconciled with AI-suggested matches instead of a ruler and a highlighter.
What you gain by moving
Not a lighter Tally — a different shape of the same discipline.
🏛
GST returns from your books
GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-9 generate from the invoices you already posted — B2B/B2C split and rate-wise breakup included, with blocked ITC excluded automatically.
🏦
AI bank reconciliation
Upload a CSV, Excel or PDF statement. Transactions are extracted and matched by amount, date and reference, so reconciliation stops being a full-day job.
👥
Users and companies included
Multi-tenant by design — run several companies from one login with database-level isolation, and add staff with role-based permissions rather than more licenses.
🔐
Backups are not your problem
Data sits in a managed PostgreSQL database with row-level security per company and an immutable audit log. No pen drive, no nightly ritual.
🤖
AI reads your bills
Photograph a purchase bill and get a structured draft you review before posting. A metered add-on — it never auto-posts to your ledger.

Frequently asked questions
Can I move my existing Tally data across?
You can bulk-import items and pricing from Excel or CSV with smart header mapping and per-row validation, and your chart of 48 India-ready accounts is pre-configured from day one. Parties and opening balances are set up with you on a free onboarding call, in Hindi or English.
Is the accounting as rigorous as Tally's?
It is the same discipline: real double-entry posting, with Trial Balance, P&L and Balance Sheet derived from the ledger rather than typed in. The audit trail is append-only and MCA Rule 11(g) compliant — there are no edit or delete paths on posted entries, which is stricter than an edit log.
What happens if my internet goes down?
You need connectivity to post entries, the same as any cloud system. In exchange your books are never trapped on one machine, are backed up continuously, and are reachable by your CA without a remote-desktop session.
Will my CA be comfortable with it?
Most CAs are, quickly — the reports are the ones they already ask for: Trial Balance, P&L, Balance Sheet, sales and purchase registers, expense grouping by Annexure-3 heads and income-tax computation, all exportable to Excel or PDF with letterhead. You can give your CA their own login with a role that fits.
How does the pricing compare?
Finkitaabh is a subscription that includes users, companies, cloud hosting and updates, with no AMC and no per-machine license. Exact plan pricing is confirmed on the demo call — see the pricing section for indicative figures.
