Switching Software
Changing your accounting system is a major decision. Understand exactly what data transfers, when to make the switch, and whether a cloud-based platform like Paper & Pen fits your operations.
Free forever · No credit card required · Add modules anytime
Paper & Pen runs entirely in your web browser. You can log in from any computer to create invoices, check stock levels, and review reports.
Work in English, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, or Urdu. The system fully supports right-to-left text for Arabic and Urdu, making it easier for diverse teams.
Send quotations, invoices, and receipts directly to your customers via email or a secure WhatsApp link. No need to export and attach PDFs manually.
Sales, invoicing, and basic accounting are free forever. You only pay if you need advanced add-on modules for human resources, payroll, or manufacturing.
Keep an accurate count of your items. The system updates your inventory automatically when you issue delivery notes or record purchase orders.
Generate ledgers, profit and loss statements, and balance sheets. Record daily expenses and post manual journal entries to keep your books accurate.
The Migration Process
Moving accounting software requires planning. You cannot simply copy a database from Tally into Paper & Pen. Instead, you will export your master data and import it into your new system. This includes your customer list, vendor details, item catalogue, and chart of accounts. Historical transactions like old invoices and receipts do not transfer. You must keep your old system accessible for past records. The most sensible time to switch is at the start of a new financial year. You close your books in your old software, then enter your closing balances as opening balances in Paper & Pen.

Staying Put
Paper & Pen is not for everyone. Tally is an established accounting software with a paid subscription model, and you should check their official website for current plans and pricing. It is deeply embedded in South Asian bookkeeping practices. If your external accountant relies entirely on Tally data files to prepare your statutory filings, switching will disrupt your compliance workflow. Furthermore, if your business requires an offline desktop application because of unreliable internet access, you should stay on your current system. Businesses with highly complex local network integrations will also find a cloud transition difficult.
