Zoho Books
Compliant accounting for India, UAE, UK, Kenya and beyond.
About Zoho Books
Zoho Books is a double-entry cloud accounting platform with built-in compliance for the markets we deliver in — GST (India), VAT (UAE), Making Tax Digital (UK) and eTIMS (Kenya) — plus multi-currency consolidation for multi-entity groups.
Our Books practice handles the full accounting lifecycle: chart of accounts design, tax configuration, bank feeds, invoicing automation, inventory wiring, payroll integration and audit-ready reporting. We've migrated clients from Tally, Xero, QuickBooks, Peachtree and legacy ERPs.

Zoho Books FAQ
Is Zoho Books compliant with Indian GST and e-invoicing?+
Yes. Zoho Books is a GST Suvidha Provider (GSP) with native GSTR-1, 2A, 3B, 9 and 9C filing. E-invoicing (IRN generation) is direct, as is e-way bill generation. We have shipped Books across hundreds of GST-registered clients in India.
Does Zoho Books handle UAE VAT?+
Yes, Zoho Books is FTA-approved for UAE VAT. Tax invoices, returns, reverse charge and designated-zone handling are all configured out of the box — we tune the chart of accounts and tax rules to your business model.
Can you migrate us from Tally, Xero or QuickBooks?+
Yes. Migration covers chart of accounts, opening balances, master data (customers, vendors, items), open invoices and historical transaction summaries. We run a parallel month before cutover and reconcile the trial balance to the penny.
Does Zoho Books support multi-entity consolidation?+
Separate Zoho Books organisations are used per legal entity, with Zoho Analytics wiring them together for consolidated P&L, balance sheet and intercompany eliminations. For very tightly coupled entities, a single organisation with branches is used instead.
How does Zoho Books integrate with Zoho CRM and Zoho Inventory?+
Native — a quote approved in CRM can create an invoice in Books; inventory items are a shared master between Books and Inventory; stock movements post to the GL automatically. One tenant, one user identity.
What does it cost?+
Zoho Books is tiered per organisation with user limits. Standard, Professional, Premium, Elite and Ultimate editions are priced monthly. Our implementation fees are separate and scoped against discovery — typical first-phase setup for a single-entity Indian business is 3–5 weeks.
