Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting?

Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording of transactions. Accounting is the higher-level analysis, interpretation, and reporting of those records. Our bookkeeping service covers recording + bank reconciliation + basic MIS.

Which accounting software do you use?

We work with Tally ERP 9/Prime, QuickBooks, Zoho Books, and Microsoft Excel. We can work on your existing software or set up a new one — your data always belongs to you.

How do I share documents with you?

We accept bank statements, invoices, and bills via email, Google Drive, or direct accounting software access. We also integrate with your bank for automatic statement import on supported platforms.

Is bookkeeping the same as filing GST returns?

No, but they are closely linked. Bookkeeping records the underlying transactions. GST returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B) are filed based on these records. Our bookkeeping service includes GST reconciliation — pairing your sales records against GSTR-2A.
