Not another wrapper around Tally. A native double-entry ledger built for the way Indian SMBs and their CAs actually work — Schedule III, GST, TDS, MSME 43B(h), all baked in.
Schedule III is the schema, not an export. GST 4-bucket structure (Input IGST 4200, Output CGST 2200, etc.) hardcoded as canonical. TDS, MSME 43B(h), fixed assets dual-depreciation — first-class fields, not custom workarounds.
Same chat interface as Advisor, but with a native ledger underneath. Type, voice, or upload a bill PDF — North creates the journal entry, validates Dr=Cr, posts.
Your CA gets a proper login with audit-grade access. They see what you see. Add comments to journal entries. Approve before period close. No more "send me the Tally backup".
Bring your Tally backup or Zoho export. North parses, normalizes, and posts opening balances + last 12 months. Reconciles to your closing trial balance — or we don't go live.
"Acme paid me ₹2,40,000 today" → North creates receipt, posts to AR, asks if it should match invoice INV-2026-417.
Drag a PDF into chat → vision OCR extracts vendor + amount + GST → North validates GSTIN → posts JE → updates Input IGST.
"Close May 2026" → North runs depreciation, accrues unbilled revenue, books prepaid amortization, generates P&L + BS, locks the period.
CA logs in, sees pending journal entries flagged for review, comments "Move to 6200 not 6100", approves period — all in chat.
"File GSTR-3B for May" → output tax computed, ITC matched against 2B, challan generated, return filed via portal API.
Upload HDFC CSV → North suggests matches against open AR/AP entries → you confirm → reconciliation report generated.
Books is in private pilot until Q3 2026. Tell us about your business and we'll reach out within 48 hours.
Advisor = AI chat layered on top of your existing Zoho Books or Tally. You keep your current accounting tool.
Books = a complete accounting platform. Replaces Zoho/Tally entirely. North owns the ledger end-to-end.
If Tally works for you and your CA, don't switch. But if you want cloud, multi-device, chat-first workflows, WhatsApp alerts, and a tool your team actually uses — Books is built for the next generation of Indian SMBs.
Yes. Books exports a Tally-compatible XML for filing. Most CAs prefer it because the data is cleaner and they get their own login. We onboard your CA personally.
Send us your Tally backup or Zoho export. We import opening balances + last 12 months. Reconcile to your closing trial balance. If it doesn't match to ₹1, we don't go live.
Schedule III financial statements export-ready. ROC AOC-4, MGT-7 templates supported. Audit trail of every entry preserved. Statutory compliance is a first-class concern, not a plugin.
