What startups & small businesses need from accounting software
Startups need accounting that stays clean for investors and due diligence. Look for clear chart of accounts, expense tracking with receipts, recurring invoices, multi-currency if you bill abroad, and easy CA collaboration. Integration with payment gateways and banks cuts manual work. Choose a tool that exports clean data for audits and fundraising. Founders should also look for simple cap-table-friendly equity entries and ESOP expense tracking. MSMEs need accounting software that handles GST, TDS and inventory together, often across multiple godowns or branches. Receivable tracking with ageing, credit limits and payment reminders keeps cash flow visible. Support in regional languages and CA familiarity are major factors. Reliable backup matters, since many MSMEs still run books on a single office computer. Cheque printing and post-dated cheque tracking still matter to many MSMEs.
