Does your report match QuickBooks?
A report can be internally perfect and still disagree with the books. Tally recomputes your figures against QuickBooks and finds the one that doesn't tie out — the deepest trust question a small operator has, answered with a receipt.
The problem
“Does this tie to the books?”
It's the question that stops a report cold. Operators put it plainly:"our QuickBooks expenses don't quite match our Excel expenses. Same for income. I've gone down a lot of avenues… not making much progress."
The trap is that your spreadsheet can look completely right — every total ties to its own rows, the internal math checks out — and it can still be wrong, because the error only exists across the two sources. An invoice was voided in the books after your report was built; a credit memo landed; a figure was restated. No amount of checking the spreadsheet against itself will ever find it. Only a tie-out against the books will.
How Tally does it
A tie-out against your books
Both sides, rebuilt
Tally recomputes your report's figures and pulls the matching numbers from QuickBooks — trusting neither summary, rebuilding both.
The figure that disagrees
You get the one number that doesn't tie to the books — not a spreadsheet of differences — and the reason it's off.
The receipt
The source rows on both sides, so when someone asks "are you sure?", the proof is already there.

We've run this against a live QuickBooks account: it pulled real invoices, tied19 of 19 customers to the penny against the books, and caught a planted discrepancy on exactly one figure. The QuickBooks tie-out is the next thing we're bringing to the tool. Today, you can try the source check free — and join the interest list to hear the moment the tie-out is live.
