Accounting software built for early-stage startups in India

The registration thresholds are commonly cited as ₹40 lakh turnover for goods and ₹20 lakh for services (lower in some special category states), but the moment you sell inter-state, sell through a marketplace, or take work from a client who insists on a GSTIN, the calculation changes. Founders end up guessing, registering too early and taking on monthly return filing they didn't need — or registering too late and scrambling. Confirm your own position with CBIC or a local tax professional before you decide.

Your first B2B customers pay on their cycle, not yours. Invoices sit in someone's inbox, the buyer's accounts team asks for a corrected GSTIN or HSN/SAC code, and another two weeks disappear. Without a system that shows what's outstanding and for how long, you find out you're short on runway in the same week rent is due.

Cloud bills on a personal card, a co-founder's UPI payments, cash for a courier, a laptop bought on EMI, and a pile of paper bills in a drawer. Come filing time or diligence time, nobody can tell which spends were business, which had recoverable input tax credit, and which were reimbursements the company still owes a founder.

Once you're registered, the returns don't wait for your product launch. Outward supplies have to reconcile to the invoices you actually raised, purchase records have to support the input credit you claim, and mismatches surface as notices months later. Doing that from a spreadsheet takes a founder-day every single month — time you don't have.

Tallium AI keeps double-entry accounting running behind the scenes as you invoice, spend and get paid — so a P&L, balance sheet, cash position and customer ageing report are always a click away. When an investor, a lender or your CA asks for numbers, you export them the same day instead of rebuilding a year of history.

Raise compliant tax invoices with your GSTIN, customer GSTIN, place of supply, and HSN or SAC codes, and Tallium AI applies CGST/SGST or IGST based on the transaction. If you're not registered yet, issue clean bills of supply now and switch on tax handling the day your GSTIN comes through — nothing to migrate. As e-invoicing obligations widen through the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), your invoice data is already structured and exportable; confirm whether the current turnover limits apply to you with CBIC or a local tax professional.

Photograph a bill from your phone and Tallium AI reads the vendor, date, amount and tax, then suggests the right category and posts it. Founder card spends, cash payments and vendor invoices all land in one expense ledger with the document attached, so input credit is supported by an actual record instead of a memory.

Because sales, purchases and tax sit in the same system, Tallium AI can produce period summaries of outward and inward supplies with the tax split already applied — the working papers your GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filings are built from. You or your accountant review and file; you don't spend the first week of every month rebuilding the data. Always confirm current return formats, due dates and rules with CBIC or a local tax professional.
