Cloud-native accounting with GST filing, double-entry bookkeeping, inventory, and WhatsApp invoicing — deployed at your business by our team. 80% ready out of the box. 20% built around how you work.
For decades, desktop accounting software served Indian businesses well. It was dependable. Your accountant knew it. Your CA supported it. It worked — within the boundaries of one office, one machine, one person.
Those boundaries no longer exist.
Your sales team works from the road. Your CA accesses books remotely. Your management wants numbers on their phone. GST filing is now a real-time compliance activity — not a month-end ritual. E-Invoicing is mandatory. 2A/2B reconciliation happens every month. IMS records need to be accepted or rejected before filing.
Desktop accounting software was not built for any of this. It was built for a single desk in a back office.
QwikBills is built for how your business actually runs today.
You can only work from one computer
Your accounting data lives on one machine. Remote access is slow, unreliable, or requires a third-party server setup. Your team can’t work simultaneously without conflicts.
GST filing requires switching between three portals
Export from accounting software. Reformat in Excel. Upload to the GST portal. Download 2A and 2B. Reconcile manually. Switch to IRP for E-Invoice. Repeat every month.
Your P&L is always a month behind
Reports are only current after someone closes the books — usually your CA, usually at month end. You make decisions on stale numbers because live data isn’t possible.
Annual licence, server, IT, and renewal costs
Licence renewal, server maintenance, IT support, backup systems — every year. The total cost of ownership is significantly higher than the licence fee suggests.
Data locked on a local hard drive
A machine failure, power surge, or theft means years of financial data at risk. Backups are manual, inconsistent, and rarely tested until something goes wrong.
Your CA needs physical access or a shared login
Giving your CA access means sharing your login or having them visit physically. No granular permissions. No audit trail. No read-only access that protects sensitive data.
Accounting & visibility
The books your CA and your management both want.Real double-entry accounting
Audit-ready books from day one. Your CA gets read-only access with their own login. No shared passwords.

Multi-company, multi-location
All your entities and branches in one platform. One login. Consolidated view. Separate books per entity.

View, accept, and reject IMS records in one screen. Never visit the IMS portal separately again.

Run the business end-to-end on one stack.WhatsApp invoice delivery
Invoices delivered to your client’s WhatsApp via official BSP. 98% open rate vs 21% for email.
26 granular permissions
Your sales team sees invoices. Your CA sees books. Your management sees reports. Nobody sees what they shouldn’t.

What this means for you
You get enterprise-grade accounting software without a 6-month implementation project. The core is live in days. The customisation is scoped, quoted, and delivered by our team based on your actual requirements. No surprises. No scope creep.
Every QwikBills Enterprise and Perpetual deployment includes a Forward Deployment Engineer — a QwikBills implementation specialist embedded at your business until you are fully live, fully trained, and fully confident.
Most software companies hand you a login and a helpdesk ticket number. QwikBills sends a person — an engineer who understands your business, configures the software around how you work, migrates your data, trains your team, and files your first GST return with you.
This is not a consulting engagement. It is not billed by the hour. It is part of how QwikBills deploys for serious businesses — because we know that implementation quality determines whether software succeeds or fails.

For our first Enterprise deployments
Implementation is led by a senior member of the QwikBills team — someone who knows every corner of the product and can answer every question your CA or finance team asks. Not a support ticket. Not a junior consultant.

Before QwikBills
Desktop accounting software across multiple locations — no consolidated view
GST reconciliation done manually — finance team spent days every month on 2A/2B matching
Inventory tracked separately from accounting — no real-time stock visibility
Invoices sent by email — slow client response, delayed payments
P&L available only after month-end closing — management decisions made on stale data
After QwikBills
All locations on one platform — consolidated view across Hyderabad and Bengaluru
2A/2B reconciled automatically every month — ITC fully protected
Inventory live across all locations — barcode scan at sale updates stock instantly
Invoices delivered on WhatsApp — faster client acknowledgement and payment
P&L and Balance Sheet live at all times — management sees numbers in real time
The deployment
Migrated from desktop accounting via structured data export. Deployed by the QwikBills implementation team. Live within days. Finance team trained on-site. First GST filing completed together.
Choose the model that fits how your business prefers to manage software — a monthly cloud subscription or a one-time perpetual licence. Both include Forward Deployment. Both include the 80/20 implementation model. Customisation scope determines final pricing.

Hosted by QwikBills — no servers needed
Always on the latest version — updates automatic

Perpetual
One-Time LicenceOne-time licence fee + AMC from Year 2
Cloud-hosted or self-hosted — your choice
Updates included while AMC is active
Licence is a capital asset on your books
White-label rights available
Forward Deployment included
80/20 implementation included
Custom workflows — scoped separately
Pricing for both models is based on your business size, number of users, locations, and customisation scope. We scope everything before quoting — no surprises, no hidden costs. Contact us and we will schedule a discovery call within 24 hours.
Most businesses are fully live within 5 business days. Discovery, data migration, configuration, customisation, and training all happen within that window. The timeline depends on the complexity of your data and the scope of your 20% customisation requirements.
The 20% covers requirements specific to your business — your chart of accounts structure, custom workflows, specific reports your management needs, or integrations with other systems. We scope this during the discovery call and quote it separately. Some businesses need minimal customisation. Others need more. We price based on actual scope — not a fixed package.
There is no gap in your GST compliance. We time the migration to avoid active filing periods where possible. Your Forward Deployment Engineer is present for your first filing on QwikBills — ensuring continuity and accuracy.
Yes — but QwikBills is significantly simpler than most desktop accounting software for CAs. We train your CA as part of the deployment. They get their own read-only access with full books visibility. Most CAs prefer QwikBills after their first session because reconciliation and filing preparation is automated.
Enterprise Cloud is a monthly subscription — QwikBills hosts everything, updates are automatic, and there is no server or IT overhead. Perpetual is a one-time licence — you own the software, choose where it runs, and pay AMC from Year 2 for updates and support. Both deliver identical features and both include Forward Deployment. The difference is the commercial model and hosting preference.
AMC — Annual Maintenance Contract — covers all product updates, GST schema changes, E-Invoice compliance updates, and support from Year 2 onwards. If AMC lapses, the software continues to work — you simply do not receive new updates until AMC is renewed.
Yes. Every business gets an isolated database — not a shared table with other companies. 256-bit TLS encryption. Daily automated backups. 99.9% uptime SLA. Hosted in India. Compliant with Indian data protection requirements. For businesses that want data on their own infrastructure — the Perpetual self-hosted option achieves this.
Yes — white-label rights are available under the Perpetual Licence. This allows you to brand QwikBills as your own product and deploy it for your clients or subsidiary businesses. Contact us to discuss white-label arrangements.
30-day post-deployment support is included — direct access to our implementation team for any questions your finance team or CA has. After 30 days, standard support covers email response and priority support depending on your plan. Enterprise and Perpetual clients get priority support as standard.
Talk to us. We will understand your business, scope what needs to be built, and give you a clear picture of what the switch looks like — timeline, cost, and what you get. No obligation. No sales pressure. Just a conversation.
