A clean accounting layer around invoicing: account masters and a chart of accounts, manual journal, payment and receipt vouchers, supplier-bill approval before a purchase voucher posts, expense types and approval, C-Form tracking, budgets and balance-sheet heads. It feeds your books — working with Tally and other tools — instead of trying to replace a full accounting suite.
Light accounting sits right behind billing. Set up the accounts, post what invoicing doesn't, approve what needs checking — and it feeds your books, working with Tally and other tools that stay your book of record.
Light accounting starts with structure. Account-type masters and account heads make up the chart of accounts — the list of accounts every voucher, receipt, supplier bill and expense is posted to. Balance-sheet head configuration then groups those accounts into statement heads, so entries aren't just recorded, they're organised into a shape your books can consume. It gives billing a clean accounting backbone without turning into a full general ledger.
Not every entry comes from an invoice. Voucher entry lets you post journal, payment and receipt vouchers directly — a bank charge, a manual adjustment, a direct payment, a receipt on account. Each voucher is coded to an account head from the chart of accounts, so it lands where it belongs and flows through to your books. It's the manual counterpart to the automatic postings billing already makes, keeping the whole picture complete.
An incoming supplier bill isn't paid on sight. It's captured, then put through an approval step — and only once approved does it become a purchase voucher. That approval is the control gate: an unchecked, disputed or duplicate bill never posts. A supplier-bill report shows every bill and its approval status, giving accounts payable the same discipline customer invoicing already has on the receivable side.
The last of the light-accounting layer catches everything else. Expense types map each kind of spend to an account head, and expense entries go through approval before they post. C-Form tracking records the statutory inter-state sales-tax declaration forms issued and received against invoices, with C-Form reports for reconciliation. Budget configuration lets you check spend against plan. All of it feeds your books — working with Tally and other tools — so this stays a light layer that keeps billing tidy, not a heavy accounting replacement.

Most accounting errors start life as a billing entry someone re-typed. New to the idea? Read what is GST billing software?
No. This is light accounting built around invoicing, not a heavy accounting replacement. It gives you account masters, manual vouchers, supplier-bill approval, expenses, C-Form and budgets so billing-related entries are captured cleanly at source — and it feeds your books, working with Tally and other tools, which stay your book of record. Nothing is re-keyed between billing and accounts.
Voucher entry lets you post journal, payment and receipt vouchers for entries that are not driven by an invoice — a bank charge, a manual adjustment, a direct payment or a receipt on account. Each voucher is coded to an account head from your chart of accounts, so it lands in the right place and flows through to your books.
A supplier (vendor) bill is captured and put through an approval step before anything posts. Only once the bill is approved does it become a purchase voucher — so an unchecked or disputed bill never reaches your books. A supplier-bill report shows every bill and its approval status, giving you a clean accounts-payable control gate alongside customer invoicing.
Yes. You define expense types and map each one to an account head, then expense entries go through an approval workflow before they hit the accounts. That keeps everyday spend — freight, travel, petty cash and the like — coded consistently and signed off, so expenses reach your books already classified and authorised.
Yes. C-Form tracking records the statutory inter-state sales-tax declaration forms issued and received against invoices, with C-Form reports for reconciliation — useful for older CST assessments. Budget configuration lets you set budgets, such as item or purchase budgets, so spend can be checked against plan rather than discovered after the fact.
Account masters are your chart of accounts — the account types and heads that entries are posted to. Balance-sheet head configuration groups those accounts into statement heads, so the light-accounting layer organises billing, receipts, supplier bills and expenses into a structure your books can consume. It gives billing a clean accounting backbone without becoming a full general ledger.
