Accounting software built for sole traders in India

You finish the work, send a bill on WhatsApp, and then chase it for six weeks. Without a proper record of who owes what and since when, follow-ups feel awkward and get delayed — and a proprietor's cash flow has no cushion. Most sole traders can tell you their turnover roughly but not who is 45 days overdue right now.

If you're registered for GST you have GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B on a repeating schedule; if your turnover is under ₹40 lakh for goods or ₹20 lakh for services you may not need registration at all. The gap between what applies to a large firm and what applies to you is huge, and most advice online doesn't make the distinction — so you either over-prepare or miss something.

Fuel receipts in the glovebox, a supplier bill in the WhatsApp gallery, a UPI payment in the bank app, a cash purchase remembered but never written down. At year end you hand your CA a bag and hope. Genuine business expenses go unclaimed simply because nobody wrote them down at the time.

Plenty of sole traders sell both — a small counter or shop front plus jobs, orders or bespoke work. Keeping a billing book for one and a spreadsheet for the other means your real position is never in one place, and stock counts drift from what's actually on the shelf.

Create a GST-ready invoice on your phone with your GSTIN, the customer's GSTIN, HSN or SAC and the correct CGST/SGST or IGST split worked out for you. Send it by email or as a link, then let Tallium AI send polite reminders on a schedule you set, so chasing stops being a task you dread. Your aged receivables list tells you who to call today, not at month end.

Every sale and purchase is tagged as you go, so the figures behind GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B are already sorted by rate, place of supply and counterparty when the filing period arrives — export them or hand your CA a clean summary instead of a shoebox. If your turnover crosses a registration or e-invoicing threshold, Tallium AI's reports show you as you approach it, and IRP-registered invoice details can be captured against each bill. Rules and thresholds change, so confirm your position with CBIC or a local tax professional before you file.

Snap a supplier bill or a fuel receipt and Tallium AI's AI reads the supplier, date, amount and tax, then suggests the right category and matches it to the bank line when the money moves. Cash purchases take a few seconds to log at the counter. The result is a full, defensible expense record built from ten-second habits rather than one painful weekend.

Tallium AI's POS runs your shop-front sales on a phone, tablet or till and posts straight into the same ledger as your invoices, while inventory moves down as you sell. Add the Tallium AI suite's Marketing and CRM under the same account when you want to keep customers coming back — no second subscription, no re-keying, no reconciling two systems that disagree.
