Many client companies
Data needs a clear folder and company structure so staff can locate the correct client environment.
CA & Accounting Workflows
Tally on Cloud for CA Firms & Accounting Offices
Centralise authorised Tally access for partners, staff and remote accounting teams while keeping client-company workflows organised.
The design begins with simultaneous users, number of client companies, licensing, folder structure, seasonal workload, printing and the level of access restriction required.
Remote access for authorised accounting staff
Sizing for peak filing and audit periods
Client-company data organisation
Pilot migration and workflow validation
Service Overview
CA firms have a different Tally workload from a single-company SME
An accounting practice may manage many client companies, multiple staff members, changing seasonal workloads and different levels of access. A generic one-company deployment does not automatically address those operating conditions.
The assessment should identify how many users work simultaneously, how client data is organised, whether staff require full desktop access, how exports and printing are handled and what happens during peak compliance periods.
Heyaansh can provide a managed cloud desktop or a more restricted Secure Tally Terminal model depending on the firm's control requirements.
Business Problems Addressed
Operational issues specific to accounting practices
The infrastructure must support client volume and peak periods without weakening access control.
Seasonal workload peaks
Simultaneous-user needs may rise during filing, audit and year-end periods.
Different staff access needs
Partners, seniors, trainees and outsourced users may not require the same desktop or data permissions.
Hybrid accounting teams
Staff may work from office, client locations or home and still need a controlled central system.
Frequent exports and document workflows
Excel, PDF, printing and client-document paths must be validated in the remote environment.
Recovery responsibility is unclear
The firm should know which data is backed up, how long it is retained and who initiates a restore.
Scope
A Tally cloud scope designed for accounting offices
The design is based on the practice's workflow rather than only the total number of employees.
Client-data and folder review
Map how companies are stored, named, accessed and transferred between staff.
Peak active-user sizing
Estimate simultaneous sessions during normal and peak compliance periods.
User and access planning
Define named users, administrator ownership and any need for restricted desktop access.
Pilot company migration
Validate selected companies, versions, reports, exports, printing and add-ons before full movement.
Backup-ready deployment
Document data location and the agreed backup and restore responsibilities.
Support and escalation workflow
Provide a defined route for access, application and infrastructure issues within the agreed scope.
Scope note: Client confidentiality and statutory obligations remain the firm's responsibility. Technical access controls support governance but do not replace internal policies, engagement terms or professional compliance requirements.
Commercial Approach
Size around peak simultaneous sessions
Named staff count and active-session count are not always the same.
Starting point
From ₹1,440 per active slot per month
One slot equals one simultaneous remote desktop session. Peak-season requirements, storage, licenses and other infrastructure are confirmed separately.
Controlled terminal option
Secure Tally Terminal available
A restricted desktop model can be considered where staff should access only approved applications and workflows.
Deployment
Validate a CA-firm deployment before full migration
A pilot should represent the actual client-company, user and export workflow.
1
Map the practice
Review users, client-company count, locations, seasons, software and document workflows.
2
Define controls
Agree active slots, user roles, access method, data structure and administrator ownership.
3
Pilot representative data
Test selected client companies, exports, printing, reports and add-ons.
4
Migrate and review
Complete the agreed migration and monitor usage during the early operating period.

Can multiple accountants access different Tally companies?+
Yes, subject to the selected Tally licensing, active-session capacity, data structure and access design. The workflow should be validated during the pilot.
How should a CA firm calculate slots?+
Use the maximum number of simultaneous remote desktop users during normal and peak periods, not only the total employee count.
Can trainee or outsourced staff have restricted access?+
A controlled terminal model may restrict the desktop and available applications. Detailed company-level permissions also depend on Tally and the firm's own data organisation.
Can existing client companies be migrated in phases?+
Yes. A phased migration can reduce disruption and allow representative companies to be validated first.
Can the system support year-end workload peaks?+
Capacity can be reviewed for peak periods, but any temporary or permanent expansion should be planned in advance and may change the commercial scope.
Are Tally licenses included?+
No. Valid Tally and other software licenses remain separate unless explicitly included in a written quotation.
Does cloud hosting make the firm compliant automatically?+
No. Hosting and access controls are technical measures. Professional, privacy, retention and client-confidentiality obligations still require the firm's own policies and compliance processes.
