Zoho Accounting & Zoho Bookkeeping Services with Zoho Books
Zoho Accounting through Zoho Books, and the Zoho Bookkeeping work that keeps it accurate — set up and maintained by ERPHUBs' in-house Zoho Books Accountants and Zoho Bookkeepers, for every industry.
What is Zoho Accounting?
Zoho Accounting is cloud accounting software delivered through Zoho Books, and Zoho Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording, reconciliation and reporting work that keeps those books accurate. Zoho Books is a registered GST Suvidha Provider in India, filing GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B directly from the software, with automated bank feeds, e-invoicing and TDS built in. ERPHUBs, run by BizSetups Consulting Private Limited, a Zoho Authorized Partner and Chartered Accountancy firm, provides Zoho Books setup and ongoing bookkeeping through our own in-house Zoho Books Accountants and Zoho Bookkeepers.
Compliance is native, not an afterthought
Zoho Accounting starts with Zoho Books, Zoho's cloud accounting software for small and medium businesses. It handles invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, inventory-linked billing and financial reporting from one place.
It is built around Indian compliance rather than adapted for it afterward: Zoho is a registered GST Suvidha Provider (GSP), so GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B can be filed directly from within Zoho Books, e-invoices generate an IRN and QR code automatically, and TDS is tracked as a native feature rather than a workaround.
From a free plan to a full finance team
Zoho Books scales from a genuinely free plan, for businesses under roughly ₹25 lakh turnover, through five paid tiers up to a top plan built for larger teams with dedicated support and analytics.
That range is exactly why “Zoho Accounting” means different things to different readers: a freelancer wants simple invoicing, a growing company wants multi-GSTIN and inventory, and an accounting firm wants a way to run twenty clients' books without twenty separate logins. ERPHUBs works across all three.
Not one isolated app
Zoho Books sits inside Zoho's wider finance suite, Zoho Finance Plus, alongside Zoho Invoice, Zoho Expense, Zoho Inventory, Zoho Billing and Zoho Payroll.
They all share one data model, so a sales order, an invoice and a bank receipt refer to the same underlying record instead of three disconnected ones. The Financial Apps section further down this page links to each.
What “Zoho Bookkeeping” Actually Means
“Zoho Bookkeeping” is the human side of this: the recurring discipline of getting transactions into Zoho Books correctly and keeping them reconciled, not just owning the software licence.
ERPHUBs is run by BizSetups Consulting Private Limited, a Chartered Accountancy and Zoho Accounting Consulting Firm, so this work is not outsourced to a generic support desk. Your books are set up and, where you choose ongoing support, maintained by qualified Zoho Books Accountants and Zoho Bookkeepers on our own team.
Software alone does not keep books accurate; a Zoho Books Accountant still has to enter, check and reconcile — Zoho Books just makes that work faster and far less error-prone than a spreadsheet or paper register.
In practice, that means
- Categorising bank and card transactions as they come in through Zoho Books' bank feeds
- Matching payments to invoices and bills
- Reconciling accounts monthly rather than at year-end
- Keeping the chart of accounts clean as the business grows
- Closing each month with a proper trial balance instead of a guess
Each month, our team
- Follows a monthly close checklist
- Reconciles GSTR-2B against purchase records
- Keeps TDS and payroll postings correct
- Hands your statutory auditor a clean set of books at filing time instead of a mess to fix first

GST, e-invoicing & TDS built in
GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filed directly from Zoho Books as a registered GSP, e-invoices generate an IRN and QR code automatically, and TDS deductions and challans are tracked natively.
Bank feeds & reconciliation
Bank and card transactions import automatically and match against invoices and bills, so monthly reconciliation is a review task, not a re-typing task.
Multi-currency & multi-GSTIN
Businesses billing overseas clients or running more than one GST registration manage both from the same organisation instead of separate books per entity.
Client portal & collaboration
Clients and accountants get their own logins with role-based access, so a bookkeeper, a CA and a business owner can all work in the same books without sharing one password.
Reports & analytics
Standard financial statements plus GST, TDS and ageing reports are available out of the box, with deeper dashboards available through Zoho Analytics on higher plans.
Automation & workflows
Recurring invoices, payment reminders, approval workflows and custom functions cut down the manual, repetitive side of bookkeeping.
What Businesses Struggle With Without It
Books that are always a month behind
Manual entry in spreadsheets or paper registers means nobody knows the real numbers until the accountant catches up at filing time.
GST filing as a monthly fire drill
Reconciling GSTR-2B, matching invoices and generating e-invoices by hand eats days every month and invites errors.
No shared view between owner, bookkeeper and CA
Files are emailed back and forth, so three people can be working from three different versions of the truth.
Disconnected billing, expenses and stock
A separate billing tool, an expense app and a stock register that do not talk to each other mean the same data gets typed three times.
Other Zoho Financial Apps
Zoho Books is the accounting core. These apps share the same data model and connect directly with it — use only what you need.

Visit zoho.com →Zoho Books alone, or the wider Zoho Finance Plus suite?
The right starting point depends on how many of these problems you actually have today.
Start with Zoho Books alone when
invoicing, expenses and GST filing in one clean system solves most of your problem. Most businesses and solo accountants start here.
Add Zoho Finance Plus apps when
you also run subscriptions, multi-warehouse stock or a payroll that currently lives in a separate system. ERPHUBs scopes which additional apps actually pay for themselves before recommending any.

Zoho Accounting & Bookkeeping, Answered
- What is Zoho Accounting?
- Zoho Accounting refers to accounting done in Zoho Books, Zoho's cloud accounting software. It covers invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, GST filing and financial reporting, and is a registered GST Suvidha Provider in India.
- Does ERPHUBs have qualified Zoho Books Accountants and Zoho Bookkeepers on staff?
- Yes. ERPHUBs is run by BizSetups Consulting Private Limited, a Chartered Accountancy and Zoho Accounting Consulting Firm. Your Zoho Books setup and ongoing bookkeeping are handled by our own Zoho Books Accountants and Zoho Bookkeepers, not outsourced to a generic support desk.
- What is the difference between Zoho Accounting and Zoho Bookkeeping?
- Zoho Accounting is the software layer, primarily Zoho Books. Zoho Bookkeeping is the ongoing work of a Zoho Bookkeeper recording transactions accurately and reconciling them inside that software. You can own the software without doing the bookkeeping well; ERPHUBs' in-house Zoho Books Bookkeepers offer both the setup and the ongoing bookkeeping.
- Is Zoho Books good for GST compliance in India?
- Yes. Zoho is a registered GST Suvidha Provider, so GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B can be filed directly from Zoho Books, e-invoices generate an IRN and QR code automatically, and multi-GSTIN businesses can manage more than one registration from one organisation.
- Does Zoho Books work the same way for every industry?
- The software is the same, but the chart of accounts, cost centres and reports should not be. A hospital needs patient-wise billing categories; a furniture retailer needs job-order costing; a car showroom needs vehicle-wise margin tracking. ERPHUBs' Zoho Books Accountants configure the setup to match your specific industry rather than using one generic template. See the industry cards on this page.
- Does ERPHUBs offer bookkeeping services, or only Zoho Books setup?
- Both. Our Zoho Accountants implement Zoho Books (chart of accounts, GST setup, migration, integrations) and our Zoho Bookkeepers also offer ongoing bookkeeping: monthly reconciliation, GSTR-2B matching, TDS and payroll postings, and a clean monthly close.
- Can we migrate from Tally, QuickBooks or Excel to Zoho Books?
- Yes. ERPHUBs migrates from Tally, TallyPrime, QuickBooks, Xero, Vyapar and several other platforms, validating data in a sandbox and running systems in parallel so bookkeeping does not stop mid-migration. See our migration guides linked further down this page.
- Is Zoho Books free?
- Zoho Books has a genuinely free plan for smaller businesses (roughly under ₹25 lakh turnover), with five paid plans above it as needs grow. ERPHUBs checks current pricing and plan limits with you before recommending a tier.
- How is Zoho Books different from Zoho Finance Plus?
- Zoho Books is the accounting core. Zoho Finance Plus is the wider suite that also includes Zoho Invoice, Zoho Expense, Zoho Inventory, Zoho Billing and Zoho Payroll, all sharing one data model. Most businesses start with Zoho Books and add other apps only when a specific need, like subscriptions or multi-warehouse stock, appears.
- Does ERPHUBs, as a CA firm itself, also help other accounting and bookkeeping firms adopt Zoho Books?
- Yes. Being a Chartered Accountancy and Zoho Accounting Consulting Firm ourselves, we understand how a practice runs. ERPHUBs helps other accounting and bookkeeping firms plan a phased, multi-client migration onto Zoho Books and set up Zoho Practice for firm-wide workflow and deadline tracking.
- Does ERPHUBs implement Zoho Accounting Software as a Zoho Authorized Partner?
- Yes. ERPHUBs, a Zoho Authorized Partner and a Chartered Accountancy firm, offers assessment, Zoho Books configuration, data migration, integration, training, ongoing bookkeeping and retainer support across businesses of every industry.
