Accounting you never have to retype
Orders, refunds, purchases and payroll post their own entries. Invoices compute GST by place of supply as you type, GSTR-1 drafts itself from real documents, and every journal is locked — corrected only by reversal.
Made for teams who need this to just work
Business owners and their accountants on desktop accounting or spreadsheets, who spend month-end retyping sales, chasing bank entries and reconciling GST.

Everything inside Growcord Books
GST invoices for goods and services, credit notes, GSTR-1 drafts, bank reconciliation and an immutable ledger.
Invoices for anything you sell
Goods, services, plans or usage — not just store orders — with totals computed by the server as you type.
Posts itself from the suite
Store orders, refunds, stock receipts, vendor bills and payroll create their own journals.
GSTR-1 ready
B2B and B2C invoices, credit notes (Table 9B) and the HSN/SAC summary drafted from real documents.
Credit notes that reverse exactly
Built from the original invoice lines, so the GST reversed is exactly the GST charged — over-credit is refused.
Bank reconciliation
Upload CSV or password-protected PDF statements; rules suggest matches and you confirm them in bulk.
Send and get paid
Email or WhatsApp the invoice PDF in one step; overdue invoices can start a reminder playbook.
Recurring invoices
Retainers and subscriptions raise themselves on schedule, numbered at the moment of issue.
Purchases with 3-way match
Purchase order, goods received and vendor bill checked against each other, with vendor credits tracked.
Immutable, auditable ledger
Journals cannot be edited, only reversed, and the audit trail is hash-chained.
Bring your history
Import an accountant’s invoice register, or migrate from Zoho Books with invoice numbers preserved.
Month-end GST from the documents you already issued
Books reads its own invoices and credit notes — including invoices that are not store orders — to draft GSTR-1 tables and the HSN/SAC summary, and runs compliance checks before your CA files.
- Credit notes reduce the HSN summary automatically
- GST rates are date-effective, so a rate change applies from its date
- Place of supply decides CGST + SGST or IGST
Journals that cannot be quietly changed
Every entry balances, every correction is a reversal, and every change joins a hash-chained audit trail. Your accountant sees exactly what happened and when — the record auditors ask for.
- Trial balance from immutable journals
- Automatic posting switched on after CA review
- Gapless numbering on every document series

What we will never do
The rules this product is built on — so you can trust the numbers it gives you.
Numbers at issue
A number is taken only when a document is issued — a draft or a preview never burns one.
Reverse, never edit
Mistakes are corrected with reversing entries so the history stays whole.
Rates by date
Statutory rates are looked up for the document’s date, so a GST change never rewrites the past.
Your CA decides
Automatic posting and filing steps stay with your accountant’s approval.
Invoices and accounting are part of your store. For businesses that only need accounting — talk to us.
Can I raise GST invoices for services, not just products?
Yes. Books raises tax invoices for goods, services, subscription plans and usage, with SAC or HSN codes and GST computed by place of supply.
Does it prepare GSTR-1?
Books drafts GSTR-1 tables from your issued invoices and credit notes — including B2B, B2C, credit notes (Table 9B) and the HSN/SAC summary — for your CA to review and file.
Can I upload a password-protected bank statement PDF?
Yes. Upload CSV or PDF statements; save the statement password once and future statements from that account open automatically. A parse report shows every row read and every balance check.
Can journals be edited?
No. Journals are immutable and corrected by reversal. Every change is recorded on a hash-chained audit trail.
Can I move from Zoho Books or another system?
Yes. There is a Zoho Books importer that keeps your original invoice numbers, and an importer for an accountant’s invoice register.
Do store orders create invoices automatically?
Yes. Orders, refunds and stock movements from Growcord Commerce become invoices, credit notes and journals without retyping.
