Accounting software in Bhubaneswar
Yes — LekhaPro keeps a Bhubaneswar business's books as posted double-entry: General Ledger, vouchers and day book, Trial Balance, P&L and Balance Sheet, with GST returns and the CA pack built from the books rather than a sales export. Professional tax in Odisha: levied under the state Act — context your books should reflect, though LekhaPro itself has no payroll module and does not compute it.

The Bhubaneswar trade, honestly
Bhubaneswar’s compliance culture is a capital-city culture: the state administration, its tax offices and its tender processes sit here, and NALCO’s corporate headquarters anchors a public-sector presence. Business accounting follows suit — government supply and works contracts carry TDS, security deposits and measurement-linked billing that books must track through certification. A newer layer of IT parks and services firms adds ordinary service-sector accounting alongside. The profession here is oriented to departmental work, and clean, posted books shorten every interaction with an assessing officer.

What it does not do — in Bhubaneswar or anywhere
- · It is not a filing service and issues no audit opinion — it prepares books; the return and the signature stay with you and your CA.
- · No payroll — salary journals can be entered as vouchers, but computation, PF/ESI, professional tax and Form 24Q are not in the product.
- · No branch accountant network in Odisha — the books are self-serve software, deliberately.
- · No office in Bhubaneswar — sales and support are online (email and WhatsApp) from an India-based team, with no local branch, reseller or on-site visit.
- · No automated Tally import yet. Masters and opening balances come across; transaction history stays in the old system as a read-only archive.
Questions Bhubaneswar businesses ask
Can our CA in Bhubaneswar work from these books?
Yes — the books are posted double-entry: General Ledger, Chart of Accounts, vouchers and day book, with Trial Balance, P&L and Balance Sheet derived from postings, plus a filing-ready CA pack (PDF and Excel). Your CA works from real books rather than reconstructing them from printouts.
Is this real double-entry accounting or billing software with reports?
Real double-entry — every sale, purchase, receipt, payment and manual voucher posts a balanced journal, so the Trial Balance balances by construction. The plain-language screens sit on top; the ledger underneath is what your auditor reads.
Does professional tax apply to a Bhubaneswar business?
Levied — Odisha State Tax on Professions, Trades, Callings and Employments Act, 2000 — per Odisha PT Act 2000 · odishatax.gov.in, checked 2026-08-05. Note the honest limit: LekhaPro has no payroll module, so it does not compute or file professional tax; this is context for your compliance calendar, and the levy itself stays with you or your CA.
Can we keep several firms under one login?
Yes — multiple companies and GSTINs run side by side with separate books, separate financial years and role-based access, which is how most Bhubaneswar family and group businesses are actually structured. Cross-firm dealings stay arm's length because each entity's ledger is its own.
How does bank reconciliation work?
Import the bank statement, match receipts and payments against your postings, and the unreconciled remainder surfaces instead of hiding. Month-end stops being a hunt through passbooks — the books and the bank agree, or the difference is listed.
Does it capture TDS and TCS?
Yes — section-wise TDS/TCS tracking with auto-capture on receipts and payments, deposit tracking and summaries. What it deliberately does not do is file the TDS return; the figures are prepared, the filing stays with you or your CA.
Can we move from Tally or manual books mid-year?
You can, though most Bhubaneswar businesses switch at a year or quarter start: masters and opening balances come across and you begin posting from a cut-over date, with the old system kept as a read-only archive. There is no automated Tally import yet — we would rather say that plainly than oversell the migration.
What happens at audit season?
The day book, vouchers and per-account ledgers drill down to the entry, and the CA pack exports the statements and registers the audit is built from. Handover stops being a scramble for files — the books were audit-shaped all year because posting made them so.
Where do our books actually live?
On the Desktop edition, in a local database on your own machine with encrypted backups — nothing leaves the office unless you send it. On the Cloud edition, in your tenant of the hosted service, reachable from any browser. Either way the books are yours, exportable, always.
How do we try it on real Bhubaneswar books?
14 days free, no card. Post one real month — sales, purchases, a bank import, a couple of manual vouchers — then read the Trial Balance, because derived-and-balanced is the whole point. We sell and support online only, with no Bhubaneswar branch. Local context: Bhubaneswar’s compliance culture is a capital-city culture: the state administration, its tax offices and its tender processes sit here, and NALCO’s corporate headquarters anchors a public-sector presence.
