Built for two kinds of teams
Ganav is unusual: it serves both the business keeping its own books and the CA firm keeping many businesses’ books — from the same governed engine. Find your fit below.
Ganav ships with 6 business-type templates, each auto-enabling the right module set at onboarding.
Holding companies, schools, real-estate owners, NGOs — 1–500 people, up to 20 branches.
outgrowing Tally; needs governance, multi-branch, real reports, an audit trail.
full double-entry GL, Maker–Checker governance + SoD, multi-branch/currency, TB/P&L/BS with dimension reporting, period close — and a painless Tally migration to get in.
Project-based, people-cost-heavy, GST on services.
manual bill entry, TDS tracking, payroll in a separate tool, no project visibility.
AI Document Inbox for bills, dimensions/cost-centers for projects, integrated HR & payroll in the same ledger, GST + TDS engines — and reverse charge on foreign services (SaaS, domains, ads, overseas contractors) proposed, self-invoiced, and split into GSTR-3B correctly.
High volume of purchase bills and party settlements, tight cashflow.
data-entry volume, AR/AP aging, PDC-heavy receivables.
AI Inbox auto-coding at volume, duplicate guard, AR/AP settlement engine with FX, PDC lifecycle, aging reports.
Note: Ganav handles the financial side — it is not the stock system.
Many small transactions, GST, bank feeds to reconcile.
reconciling bank statements, coding recurring expenses, GST returns.
bank, card and loan statement lanes in the Inbox, recurring journals, GST engine, e-invoice QR fast path.
Note: no POS/cash-drawer — Ganav is the accounting layer.
Commission/brokerage flows, many counterparties.
party-heavy books, counterparty tracking.
business-type module bundle, subledger/party engine, dimensions.
Note: deep policy/claim workflows aren’t built — Ganav handles the accounting, not the broking operations.
The common thread: almost all of these run Tally today. The Tally connector + AI Inbox is the wedge; governance + reporting is the reason they stay.
This is where Ganav has the least competition. See the dedicated Practice-Management page.
no cross-company visibility; can’t see which clients are behind; a tool per client.
the cross-company Month-End Board, engagement cycles, one firm-level Tally agent, and firm-wide chat.
chasing juniors and clients; queries scattered; SLAs slip.
engagement templates + stage lifecycle, a cross-company query inbox with per-user O365/Gmail mailboxes, and SLA/reminder/escalation sweeps.
manual data entry per client; waiting on client answers.
the AI Document Inbox, clarification tickets that gate the stage until answered, and RecordCard chat.
no visibility; queries lost in email; “where’s my report?”; bills sent as WhatsApp photos.
a client portal to view and reply to their own queries and see published reports and statements — and a WhatsApp Business channel where the bill they send is filed and the report they asked for is delivered.
the audit file lives in folders and spreadsheets; reconciliations are re-keyed; independence is a checklist nobody can prove; the quality review happens after the opinion.
a separate application — acceptance, Sec 144, applicability, planning, signed data snapshots, self-computing reconciliations, confirmations, sampling, SA 450 issue tracker, CARO 2020 and IFC, opinion and report issuance behind a 46-check gate. (Early access.)
articleship compliance (ICAI milestones), the firm’s own payroll.
HR with articleship tracking and full Indian payroll.
