How AccountBook looks

A web cockpit for the CFO. Mobile for cash capture.

CFOs and controllers see MIS dashboards, ageing, GST status and consolidated P&L. Field teams capture cash, expenses and approvals on mobile — the entries hit the books in real time.

What AccountBook replaces

Tally + Excel + ClearTax — consolidated.

Most growing FMCG, dairy and distribution businesses run accounting on Tally, GST e-invoicing on a separate add-on, scheme reconciliation in Excel, approvals on paper and MIS in a CFO's head. AccountBook brings all of that into one connected platform.

  • One ledger — accounting, billing, einvoicing, schemes
  • One approval engine — no paper, no email chains
  • One MIS — live dashboards instead of month-end PDFs

Adopt the modules you need today. Turn on the others when the business is ready. The general ledger is shared across every module — no double entry, no reconciliation.

Why teams pick AccountBook

Tally is the default. AccountBook is what you graduate to.

Three patterns repeat across every team that moves to AccountBook — from a Tally-only setup, a ClearTax add-on or a stitched-together Excel + accounting stack.

  • 01

    vs Tally-only setup

    Tally is excellent at accounting but needs heavy customisation for MIS, approvals and scheme accounting. AccountBook gives you those out of the box — and still syncs with Tally where you need it.

  • 02

    vs ClearTax + Tally combo

    Standalone e-invoice tools handle IRN generation but stop there. AccountBook does einvoicing inside accounting + billing + scheme reconciliation — one system, not two.

  • 03

    vs Excel + accounting stack

    Schemes, approvals, MIS — all in spreadsheets. AccountBook formalises every workflow with audit trails the CFO can sign off without checking.

Integrations

Works with the systems your finance team already uses.

Tally Prime for accounting backbone. SAP Business One for federation-level rollups. GSTN for compliance. Bank portals for reconciliation. AccountBook fits in without rewriting any of that.

  • Tally Prime (two-way XML)
  • SAP Business One / HANA
  • GSTN + e-Invoice IRP
  • Bank statement (NEFT / RTGS / UPI)
  • Razorpay / PayU / Cashfree
  • WhatsApp Business API
  • MSG91 / Exotel
  • SalesPort / ProcuPort

How AccountBook is priced

No per-invoice or per-user fees.

A one-time deployment fee. A fixed monthly AMC. Issuing 50,000 more invoices next quarter does not change your bill. We share the real number in a 30-minute call.

  • A one-time deployment fee — declared up front, in writing, with no surprises.
  • A fixed monthly AMC. Per-invoice and per-user fees do not exist in our model.
  • Live in 6 to 10 weeks for a single-entity rollout — with a named delivery owner.
  • Source-code ownership available for enterprise and education contracts that require it.

Common questions

Questions buyers actually ask.

The answers below are the same ones we give on the call.

What is AccountBook and who is it for?

AccountBook is Sort String Solutions' MIS-driven accounting, FMCG billing and GST e-invoicing platform. It is built for FMCG, dairy, distribution and education businesses that have outgrown a Tally-only setup — typically ₹5 Crore+ annual turnover, multiple branches or product lines, scheme-heavy billing, and a CFO who wants MIS without waiting for month-end.

Does AccountBook handle GST e-invoicing end to end?

Yes. Real-time IRN generation via the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), QR code embedding on every applicable B2B invoice, e-way bill generation, cancellation / amendment workflows inside IRP windows, GSTR-1 auto-population and GSTR-2A/2B reconciliation for accurate ITC claims. Auto-retry on IRP downtime — the portal does fail, the software handles it gracefully.

How is AccountBook different from a standalone einvoice tool like ClearTax?

ClearTax handles IRN generation and stops there. AccountBook does einvoicing as one feature within full accounting + FMCG billing + scheme-aware invoicing + Tally Prime sync. For a distribution business issuing 1,000+ B2B invoices monthly, having einvoicing inside the accounting layer eliminates reconciliation work between two systems.

Does AccountBook replace Tally, or work with it?

Both, depending on what you want. For finance teams that keep Tally as their book of record, AccountBook syncs bidirectionally via Tally Prime XML. For businesses that want to move off Tally entirely, AccountBook has full double-entry accounting, GSTR returns and the depth needed to replace it. Most clients run both side by side for the first 6 to 12 months.

Does it work for dairy, education or other verticals beyond FMCG?

Yes. AccountBook is used by dairy companies for multi-plant consolidation with daily milk-pay reconciliation, by education institutions for fee accounting and grant management, and by distribution-heavy companies for scheme-aware billing. The general ledger is one engine; verticals enable the modules they need.
