Learn TallyWhat you will be able to do
By the end of these lessons you should be able to sit at TallyPrime with a pile of bills and slips and do an accounts assistant's daily work: create the ledgers and stock items a business needs, choose the right voucher for each document, enter purchases and sales with GST, record receipts and payments against the right bills, reconcile the bank, read the Day Book, Trial Balance, Profit and Loss Account and Balance Sheet, find and correct your own mistakes, and take a backup.
How Tally is learned
Not by reading. Tally is a keyboard skill sitting on top of an accounting skill, and both grow only with use. Each lesson here is short and is meant to be done in the software as you read, in a practice company where mistakes cost nothing. The examples follow one invented stationery wholesaler from its first day, so what you set up in one lesson is used in the next. Every example entry is shown as debit and credit lines and is checked by our build program to balance.
The three stages
- Masters: company, groups and ledgers, stock items. Get these right and everything after is easier.
- Vouchers: the types, then each one: contra, payment, receipt, journal, purchase, sales, notes.
- Checking: bank reconciliation, reports, finding mistakes, backup.
The 30 day plan sets this out as an hour a day.
You need accounting first
Tally will save any entry whose debits equal its credits, right or wrong. It cannot tell that rent has been put under furniture. So the person at the keyboard must know what the entry should be. If debit and credit are not yet second nature, our neighbour site learn.shareyourgroup.com/accountancy explains them with solved examples and a practice quiz.
An honest note
This is an independent site. We are not Tally Solutions, we do not sell or distribute the software, and we have copied nothing from its help or courses. Software changes with each release; where your screen differs from a lesson, Tally's own help (Ctrl+F1) is the authority. And a tutorial is not tax advice: the GST examples use an assumed rate to show the entries, and real tax decisions belong to a qualified accountant.
