The problems Tally on the web solves
What goes wrong without it, and what changes with Cashflow OS.
- The problemThe Tally PC is busy when you need a report
The billing clerk is entering bills, and you need the Day Book right now.
With Cashflow OSOpen the books in any computer's browserThe web app reads the synced copy, so the person at the Tally PC carries on undisturbed.
Tally on mobile - The problemShared office passwords that ex-staff still know
One login for everyone means nobody can say who saw or changed what.
With Cashflow OSSign in by scanning a QR with your own phoneThe phone app, signed in with your mobile number, signs the browser in as you, with your roles for each company.
Team roles and access - The problemLong ledgers are hard to check on a phone
Ticking a year of entries against a supplier's statement needs a proper screen.
With Cashflow OSLedgers, ageing and statements on a big screenParty ledgers with live balances and bill-wise outstanding, with statements to share when you are done.
Party ledger statements - The problemBank or CA wants reports by this evening
Four separate prints from the Tally PC, then a scan, then an email.
With Cashflow OSExport Excel or PDF straight from the browserProfit & Loss, Balance Sheet, ageing and stock summaries for any year or a custom range, ready to attach.
Reports in Excel and PDF - The problemGSTR-1 errors found on the last filing day
Missing GSTINs and wrong place of supply surface only when the portal objects.
With Cashflow OSCheck GSTR-1 bill-wise and HSN-wise before filingGSTR-1 tiles open bill-wise and HSN-wise detail, and the JSON downloads for the GST portal once corrected.
GST reports from your Tally data - The problemQuotations typed in Word, then again in Tally
The same items, rates and GST are keyed in twice, and the two copies drift apart.
With Cashflow OSMake documents on a keyboard; they convert to TallyQuotations carry your letterhead and logo, and convert into a Tally sales order or invoice once writing is on.

What it does
What you can do with Tally on the web
Home and ledgers on a full screen
How it works. Open app.cashflowos.in, scan the QR with your phone and pick the company. Home shows sales, purchases, receipts, payments, cash and bank against the period before, and every ledger is a search away.
- Nothing to install on the computer
- Same synced books as the phone app
- Switch companies without signing in again
In practiceAnil Mehta works from his flat in Pune on Saturdays. He opens the web app on his laptop and checks the week's receipts of ₹8,40,000 without calling the office.
Reports and exports for the bank and CA
How it works. Run Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, Day Book, sales and the other reports for any financial year or a custom range, and export each to Excel or PDF.
- Date ranges that cross 31 March
- Excel for working, PDF for sending
- Figures that match Tally for the same period
In practiceFor a cash credit renewal, Pooja exports the year's P&L and Balance Sheet as PDF and the debtors ageing as Excel, and mails all three to the bank in one sitting.
GST views, bill-wise and HSN-wise
How it works. GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B views are prepared from the Tally data. Tiles open bill-wise and HSN-wise detail, and the JSON downloads for upload on the GST portal.
- Spot missing GSTINs before the due date
- HSN summary checked on a wide screen
- JSON ready for the portal after corrections
In practiceOn the 9th, the accountant finds two B2B invoices to a Surat buyer without a GSTIN, gets them corrected in Tally, and downloads the JSON after the next sync.
Outstanding to work through, party by party
How it works. Bill-wise receivables and payables with ageing are easier to work through on a big screen: sort by age, open the party ledger, share the statement.
- Oldest bills first for the collection calls
- Statements shared without printing
- Payables due this week in the same place
In practiceEvery Monday the office manager lists parties with bills over 60 days, totalling ₹4,25,000, and sends each one a statement before calling.
Entries into Tally from the browser
How it works. Once the owner switches writing on, create and alter vouchers and masters from the web app. Each entry goes through the connector and Tally validates it; a refused one comes back with Tally's reason.
- A full keyboard for long multi-line vouchers
- Tally checks every entry it receives
- Off until the owner turns it on
In practiceA purchase bill with 18 lines from a Delhi supplier is keyed in on the web app by the office assistant and arrives in Tally as a purchase voucher.
Guide
Tally on the web: the full guide
How it works day to day, who does what, and the points to watch.
Why a web version matters
Phones are good for quick checks. Some work needs a bigger screen: reviewing a long ledger, going through the GSTR-1 view bill by bill, exporting reports for the bank, or making a quotation with several lines. Most offices already have a computer that is not the Tally PC: the owner's laptop, a reception desk, a CA's office. The web app turns any of them into a window on the Tally books, without installing Tally or taking a remote session into the Tally PC.
What you can do in the web app
- See Home: sales, purchases, receipts, payments, cash and bank against the period before.
- Open ledgers and party ledgers with live balances, and share statements.
- Work through bill-wise receivables and payables with ageing.
- Run reports: Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance, Day Book, cash and bank book, ledger report, stock summaries, expenses, top customers, cashflow forecast. Export to Excel or PDF.
- Choose any financial year, or a custom date range spanning several years.
- Review GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B views and download the JSON for the GST portal.
- Once writing is switched on, create and alter vouchers and masters that go into Tally through the connector.
- Switch between the Tally companies in your account.
Signing in with a QR
The web app does not ask for a password. It shows a QR code; you scan it with the Cashflow OS app on your phone, which is already signed in with your mobile number, and the browser is signed in as you, with your roles. This keeps your access tied to your phone and your mobile number, and there is no shared office password that former staff still remember.
On a shared computer, sign out at the end of the session. For a wider view of safe access, read security of accounting data.
A worked example: month-end on the web app
Take an accountant who closes the month for a trading firm. On the 3rd she opens the web app on her laptop at home, scans the QR with her phone and picks the company. She runs the Day Book for the last week of the month to check that all purchase bills are in, then opens the GSTR-1 view and clicks the B2B tile to see bill-wise detail. Two invoices to a buyer in Gujarat are missing the party's GSTIN; she notes them for correction in Tally. Next she opens receivables ageing, exports it to Excel and sends it to the owner with the five parties over 60 days highlighted. Finally she exports the month's Profit & Loss as a PDF for the partners.
All of this happened without touching the Tally PC, which the billing clerk was using the whole time. Once the GSTINs are corrected in Tally and synced, she downloads the GSTR-1 JSON and files on the portal.
Who uses the web app
- Owners working from home or a second office.
- Accountants and CAs reviewing reports and GST views before filing.
- Office staff making documents such as quotations and purchase orders on a full keyboard.
- Branch managers who need their own company's numbers but not a Tally licence on their machine.
Web app or remote desktop?
| Question | Web app | Remote desktop into Tally PC |
|---|---|---|
| Does it block the Tally PC user? | No, it reads a synced copy | Often, the session takes over the screen |
| Works on a phone? | Yes, with the phone app | Awkward on a small screen |
| Per-person roles | Yes, per company | Usually whoever has the login sees everything |
| Full Tally features | No, its own screens and reports | Yes, it is Tally itself |
Both have their place; our page on Cashflow OS vs remote desktop for Tally goes through the trade-offs.
What it does not do
- It is not TallyPrime in a browser. It shows the synced data in Cashflow OS's own screens.
- It does not work without the connector for live data; if the Tally PC is off, you see the last synced copy.
- It does not file returns on the GST portal; it prepares the views and JSON.
- Writing into Tally stays off until the owner switches it on.
