Best Accounting Software for Indian Businesses
GST-ready accounting, automated bookkeeping, TDS, bank reconciliation and B2B payments — all in one cloud-based platform. Built for SMEs, CAs, startups and freelancers in India.
Everything you need to run your books
Aczen's accounting software replaces five different tools with one. From the first invoice you send to the GSTR-9 you file, every workflow is built for Indian compliance.
GST-Ready Invoicing
Generate GST-compliant invoices, e-invoices and e-way bills in seconds. Auto-calculates CGST, SGST, IGST and prints with your business letterhead.
Automated Bookkeeping
Bank feeds auto-categorize transactions. Ledgers, journals and trial balance update in real time — no manual data entry.
Expense Management
Capture bills with OCR, route approvals, and post directly to expense ledgers. Track vendor liabilities and ageing.
TDS & Compliance
Automatic TDS deduction on vendor payments, Form 26Q/27Q exports, GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-9 filing — all from one dashboard.
Bank Reconciliation
Connect any Indian bank — ICICI, HDFC, SBI, Axis, Kotak — and reconcile statements with one click. Flags mismatches automatically.
Real-Time Financials
P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and 30+ MIS reports update live. Drill down from any number to the underlying voucher.

Learn moreWhy Indian businesses choose Aczen accounting software
Most accounting software was built for the West, then localised for India. Aczen is the opposite — it was designed in India, for Indian compliance, from the first line of code.
Save 15+ hours a month
Bank feeds, OCR bill capture and auto-categorisation eliminate the manual entry that eats the bookkeeper's week. What used to take a full day of reconciliation now takes minutes.
Stay 100% GST compliant
Every invoice, debit note and credit note is validated against GSTN rules at the moment of creation. No more rejected returns or last-minute filing scrambles before the 20th.
One platform, no integrations
Most teams stitch together Tally, Razorpay, a banking app and Excel. Aczen replaces all four — accounting, payments, banking and reporting are native, not bolted on.
Real-time financials
See P&L, cash flow and balance sheet update the second a payment lands. Make decisions on today's numbers, not last month's reconciliation.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you wanted to know about Aczen accounting software.
What makes Aczen the best accounting software for Indian businesses?+
Aczen unifies GST invoicing, accounting, TDS, B2B payments, banking and CRM in one platform. Most accounting software in India handles only one or two of these, forcing teams to juggle Tally, Razorpay, a separate banking dashboard and spreadsheets. Aczen replaces all of them with a single, GST-ready system designed for Indian compliance.
Is Aczen suitable for small businesses and freelancers?+
Yes. Aczen is used by SMEs, CAs, startups, freelancers and enterprises. The free starter plan covers GST invoicing, basic ledgers and up to 50 invoices a month — enough for most freelancers and proprietorships to operate fully without paying.
Can Aczen handle GST returns and e-invoicing?+
Yes. Aczen generates IRN-validated e-invoices, e-way bills, and prepares GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-9 from your transaction data. Returns can be filed directly to the GSTN portal with one click.
How is Aczen different from Tally or Zoho Books?+
Tally is desktop-first and lacks built-in cloud, bank feeds and B2B payments. Zoho Books is cloud-native but doesn't include payments or banking. Aczen is fully cloud-based, includes bank feeds, B2B payments and CRM in the core product, and is priced for Indian SMEs.
Is my financial data secure with Aczen?+
Aczen uses bank-grade AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit, and is hosted on ISO 27001 certified infrastructure within India. Role-based access, audit logs and 2FA are enabled for every account.
How much does Aczen accounting software cost?+
Aczen has a free starter plan, paid plans starting at affordable monthly rates for growing businesses, and custom enterprise plans for larger teams. See the pricing page for full details.
