Accounting module in Easedesk ERP — complete overview, features, FAQs

The Accounting module is Easedesk's general ledger — every sale, purchase, payment, payroll run and inventory move auto-posts here as a double-entry journal. The chart of accounts ships pre-loaded with the Indian Schedule III format, you get a real-time Trial Balance, P&L and Balance Sheet, and CA-friendly exports to Tally / Busy / Excel.

It is included in every Easedesk subscription (subject to plan availability) and works out-of-the-box with sensible Indian defaults. Whether you're a 10-person startup or a 500-person enterprise, the Accounting module scales without changing how you log in or where your data lives.

Unlike standalone accounting tools, Easedesk's Accounting module is part of a connected ERP — data flows automatically between modules (your invoice posts to accounting, your payroll updates statutory liabilities) so you never re-key the same number twice.

Comes with Indian Schedule III chart of accounts pre-loaded, April–March fiscal year, INR base currency, statutory rounding rules, and direct journal templates for GST liability, TDS payable, PF/ESI payable and bank reconciliation.

For Indian GST and accounting compliance, the regulatory landscape changes every few months — GST rate revisions, new TDS sections, fresh EPFO circulars. Easedesk's product team monitors gazette notifications and pushes updates so your Accounting module always reflects the current law without you having to lift a finger.

Access to the Accounting module is governed by Easedesk's role-based access control (RBAC). By default, the Owner role has full access (wildcard permissions). The predefined roles that include Accounting access are typically Admin, Accountant, and the Viewer role (which gets read-only access).

Owners can edit any predefined role's permissions, or create new custom roles, in Settings → Users & Roles. Permissions are checked at the API level on every request — so even if a user finds a hidden URL, they cannot bypass the role gates.

For sensitive operations like delete, approve and export, you can require an extra-step approval workflow — see the Approvals module documentation.
