Accounting and GST compliance for Indian business, in one system
Billcount runs your books, stock and payroll on one double-entry ledger, then prepares the GST returns, TDS certificates and financial statements that follow. Returns come from the same postings as the trial balance, so books and filings cannot drift apart.
Most Indian accounting software treats statutory filing as a report you run afterwards. Billcount treats it as an output of the ledger itself.
The GST return, the TDS register and the depreciation schedule are computed from the same postings that produce the trial balance. There is no separate compliance dataset to reconcile, so the return and the books cannot disagree.
Your books live in a database of their own, not in a shared table alongside every other customer. The separation is structural, which is a materially different answer to who else can see your numbers than a promise that the software filters correctly.
Not a translated menu bar. 4,734 translated strings cover the whole application, so the person doing data entry can work in the language they actually think in.
Eleven modules are licensable and gate on a plan. Reports and Masters never gate. The books, and your ability to leave with your data, must not sit behind a paywall.
Dashboard, guided setup, and a work queue: approvals, pending approvals, notifications and their delivery settings.
Leads, follow-ups due, a pipeline board, pipeline forecast, lead-source analysis, and mailbox integration for capturing enquiries.
Quotations and funnel, sales orders, delivery notes, order book and backlog; invoices, credit notes, point of sale, recurring billing, deferred revenue; e-invoice and e-way bill queues, GST payment, e-commerce TCS.

The answers to the questions every finance team asks before it moves its books onto someone else's server.
Billcount runs as multi-tenant SaaS on infrastructure that Syslice hosts and manages. There is no server for you to buy, patch or keep running. We run the platform, you run the books.
Users are granted specific companies and branches, and that grant governs what they can change as well as what they can see. The branch manager does not reach the group numbers by opening the wrong screen.
Every change is recorded, and the record is sealed so a later deletion or edit is detectable. That is the difference between a log you keep and a log you can rely on in a dispute.
Second-factor authentication, with a list of the sessions currently signed in and the ability to revoke any of them remotely.
A complete export of your books, plus a Tally-compatible export, both deliberately outside plan limits. You can always leave with your data, and you do not have to pay more to do it.
Stored credentials are encrypted, and the usual protections against abuse of a public service are in place across the platform.
Sensitive documents can require a second pair of eyes before they take effect, with everything waiting for approval collected in one queue on the dashboard.
Account setup, plan changes and subscription invoicing with GST are handled by us. If you leave, your data is exported to you before anything is removed.
A few practical details worth having before you move your books across, including what Billcount deliberately does not do.
Bring a month of real invoices and a GST return you have already filed. We will show you the same numbers coming out of the ledger, and you can judge it on that.
