Everything you use Tally for — now with an AI accountant.
iAccounting is a lightning-fast, keyboard-driven Windows desktop accounting app built for India. It does the ledgers, GST returns, inventory and reports you already run in Tally — then adds an AI accountant that takes Hindi and Hinglish voice, reconciles GSTR-2B, and audits your books. Your data stays on your own computer.
Migration preview
Pull a whole company across in one pass — masters, inventory and a full year of vouchers — over Tally's own gateway. No re-keying, no downtime.
iAccounting vs Tally — where each one wins
We're not going to pretend Tally has no strengths — three decades of ecosystem is real. Here's the straight version, so you can decide for your own business.

The four things Tally can't do
Talk to your books
Type or speak in Hindi, Hinglish or English. The AI drafts the correct Dr/Cr voucher, picks the ledgers, and waits for your one-tap approval.
GSTR-2B recon that finds lost ITC
Auto-fetch 2A/2B, match every invoice, flag suppliers who haven't filed — so you claim only the input credit that's safe.
A statement in, vouchers out
Drop a bank statement or snap a bill — iAccounting reads every line, maps it to your ledgers from history, and drafts the entries.
A 16-check audit before your CA
Every morning the AI audits the books, reconciles the portals and posts your recurring entries — you just review.
Your Tally data comes with you
A live two-way connector talks to your existing accounting software over its own gateway. Pull an entire company across — masters, inventory and a full year of vouchers — or push both ways during a transition. Opening balances tie to the paisa, so migration day is a non-event.
- Import ledgers, groups, stock & vouchers
- Two-way live push / pull during transition
- Opening balances tie exactly — to ₹0.00
- No re-keying, no downtime
Two-way connector
Businesses like Shri Krishna Polymers run their books on iAccounting — GST, inventory, banking and all.
Switching from Tally — answered
Can I import my existing Tally data?
Yes. A live two-way connector pulls an entire company across — ledgers, groups, stock items and a full year of vouchers — over Tally's own gateway. Opening balances tie to the paisa, and you can keep pushing both ways during a transition period.
Does iAccounting work offline like Tally?
Yes. iAccounting runs offline on your Windows PC and your books live on your machine, not on our servers. Internet is only needed for activation, updates and the metered AI and GST features.
Is it really free?
The full Windows desktop app is free to download with no trial clock. The AI, GST filing, WhatsApp and SMS run on a prepaid wallet — you recharge only when you use them. Solo and Network editions unlock from inside the app when you need them.
Will my staff have to relearn everything?
No. iAccounting is keyboard-driven with familiar voucher screens, so the muscle memory carries over — and anyone can just talk to the AI in Hindi or Hinglish instead.
Can my CA still access the books?
Yes. You can share live access with your accountant, and the AI runs a 16-point audit that catches imbalances and gaps before your CA does.
