Does AutoBooks replace Tally?

No, and that is deliberate. AutoBooks is pre-accounting software: it prepares clean, reviewed transactions and pushes them into Tally, where your books of record live. Tally remains your source of truth.

What kinds of documents can AutoBooks read?

Tax invoices, receipts, Z-Reports from fiscal devices, bank statements, and mobile money statements (such as M-Pesa), uploaded as PDFs, photos (PNG, JPG, WebP), Excel files, or CSVs, up to 25 MB per file. Photos and PDFs are read with AI extraction; spreadsheets are parsed directly, and unfamiliar layouts only need their columns mapped once.

What happens if the AI gets something wrong?

Nothing is posted automatically. Every extracted row lands in the Review Grid, where your team can edit dates, amounts, parties, and ledger assignments, or reject rows entirely. Only rows an accountant approves reach the trial balance or your ERP.

How does the Tally integration work?

You install the AutoBooks Tally Connector, a small Windows application, on the computer that runs Tally Prime. It securely relays data between AutoBooks and Tally: approved vouchers and ledger masters are pushed in, while companies, chart of accounts, Day Book vouchers, and financial reports are synced back. AutoBooks never connects to your Tally machine directly from the cloud.

For VAT-registered clients, AutoBooks applies the configured VAT rate automatically. Invoice and receipt amounts are booked net of VAT with the tax split out correctly, including for Z-Reports.

Who is AutoBooks designed for?

CA firms and companies. Practice workflows, the client list, the client portal, and the practice audit trail are for CA firms. A company uses the same document pipeline for its own books. Businesses invited by a firm only upload documents.

Which languages does AutoBooks support?

English, Kiswahili, and French. That includes the client portal.

How much does AutoBooks cost?

A new workspace starts with a 7-day free trial at autobooks.aumbiz.com. Plans are Startup, Starter, Growth, and Enterprise. Prices are shown inside AutoBooks, on the Billing screen, before you pay.
