Accounting software in Chennai

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.

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.

Levied — Tamil Nadu municipal laws; collected half-yearly by urban local bodies — per GCC Revenue Dept (TN ULB Act 1998) · chennaicorporation.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.

Yes — multiple companies and GSTINs run side by side with separate books, separate financial years and role-based access, which is how most Chennai family and group businesses are actually structured. Cross-firm dealings stay arm's length because each entity's ledger is its own.

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.

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.

You can, though most Chennai 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.

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.

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.

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 Chennai branch. Local context: Chennai anchors the profession in the south — ICAI’s Southern India Regional Council is headquartered here — and the city’s audit tradition is old, conservative and thorough.
