Accounting you can
actually close.
Outgrowing Tally or Zoho Books? Books is double-entry bookkeeping built for Indian businesses: GST that splits itself, a bank reconciliation that finds the difference, and payroll and TDS that come out of the same ledger as everything else.
- Free tier, no card
- Your books stay yours
- Open early access

decided from the GSTIN on the document, not from a dropdown

What it does
One ledger. Every module posts into it, so the balance sheet is never a separate spreadsheet that quietly disagrees.
Accounting that closes
Double-entry vouchers, a real trial balance, and a balance sheet that balances. Every figure traces back to a voucher.
GST, not a spreadsheet
CGST/SGST or IGST decided from the GSTIN on the document. GSTR-1, 3B and 9 worksheets, e-invoicing and e-way bills.
Banking that reconciles
Upload a statement, match it against your vouchers, and clear the difference. Uncategorised lines stay visible until dealt with.
Inventory with real costing
FIFO and weighted-average costing, batches and serial numbers, expiry dates, stock transfers between locations, and a valuation you can defend.
Payroll and TDS
PF, ESI, professional tax and TDS computed per employee, with payslips and Form 16 built from the same ledger.
53 reports, all exportable
Trial balance to cash flow to ageing. Every one exports to CSV, TSV or Excel with the period you were looking at.
An assistant that reads your books
Ask it what your trial balance says, attach a spreadsheet and have it read, or take a report away as a file.
Fixed assets that depreciate themselves
A register for every machine, with the depreciation journals posted on a schedule you set.
Recurring revenue, billed for you
Subscription plans with free trials, and the invoices raised and sent every period.
Chasing money, not spreadsheets
Reminders for unpaid invoices, credit limits that stop the next sale, and interest on what is late.
Projects, hours and budgets
Bill the time you spent, and see where you came in against what you planned.
Documents that look like yours
Your own invoice and document templates, so what you send is your business and not ours.
Who it is for
Indian businesses that file GST, run a bank account someone else has to reconcile, and are still doing it in a spreadsheet. If you are a sole trader, the free tier does the filing and the ledger. If you have staff, a stock room or more than one GSTIN, the paid tiers add payroll, inventory, multi-registration bookkeeping, recurring billing and fixed assets.
It is not a billing tool for freelancers and it is not a warehouse system. It is the bookkeeping, and it tries to be right.
How we handle your data
- Your books, your machine. Books can run entirely on your own computer, with the file encrypted at rest. Nothing leaves it.
- No passwords. Sign-in is a single-use emailed link or a passkey. There is no password for us to lose or for you to reset.
- An activity log you can check. Every create and edit is written to a tamper-evident chain, not just an audit column.

It is being finished and hardened now. Join the waitlist and we will write when there is a public build to sign in to.
