Real double entry, entered the way accountants type
Every document in tBiz posts a balanced voucher — an invoice, a salary run, a stock write-off. Nothing reaches the trial balance by a side door, which is why the trial balance can be trusted without a monthly hunt for the difference.

What you get
Keyboard-first entry
A visible key strip, shortcut keys and grid discipline. Staff trained on desktop accounting software are productive on day one — which is the part most cloud products get wrong.
Every voucher type
Payment, receipt, journal, contra, sales, purchase, credit and debit note, stock journal and physical stock — each with the fields it actually needs.
Cost centres and branches
Tag a voucher, or a single line of it, to a cost centre or branch, and get a profit and loss per site without running separate books.
Party on the line
A journal can carry a different party on each line, so a two-party transfer settles against both ledgers correctly instead of needing a suspense account.
An audit trail that is real
Who posted it, who changed it, what the values were before, and when — recorded by the database itself rather than by whichever screen happened to remember.
Statements that reconcile
A party ledger, a bank reconciliation and a trial balance built from the same postings. There is no second set of numbers to agree with.
How it works
- Choose the voucher type. The form changes to suit it — a contra asks for two bank or cash accounts, a receipt asks which bills it settles.
- Type the lines. Account, amount, narration. Debits and credits are shown against each other and the voucher will not save until they agree.
- Settle against documents. A receipt is applied to specific invoices, so the party ledger shows what is still open rather than one running balance.
- Read it back. Day book, party ledger, cash and bank book, trial balance, profit and loss and balance sheet, all from the same postings.
Accounting questions
Is tBiz real double-entry accounting or a billing app with reports?
Real double entry. Every document — invoice, bill, payslip, stock write-off — posts a balanced voucher to the general ledger, and the trial balance is computed from those postings rather than assembled from summaries.
Can Tally-trained staff use it without retraining?
Largely, yes. Voucher entry is keyboard-driven with a key strip and the same grid conventions, so the muscle memory carries over. The concepts — groups, ledgers, vouchers, cost centres — are the same ones.
Can I keep more than one company?
Yes, and more than one branch within a company. Companies keep separate books and separate numbering; branches share a company’s books and can be filtered out of any report.
What stops somebody back-dating a voucher?
Period locking, and the audit trail. You can close a period so nothing new posts into it, and any edit that is allowed is recorded with its before-and-after values.
