Own a group of companies, hold multiple GSTINs, or keep books for many clients? ReadyBooks keeps each business’s ledgers, invoices, inventory, and GST working data in its own book context, with tenant-scoped access. Chartered accountants and advisors can move between authorised businesses from one login.
Multi-tenant from the ground up, so each business has a separate book context and access is scoped to the permissions granted.
Each business gets its own ledger, invoices, inventory, payroll, and supported GST return workflow. Reports are viewed within the selected business context.
Tenant-scoped authorization and database-enforced row policies are applied as defense in depth, with access governed by each account’s granted business permissions.
Chartered accountants and advisors switch between the client businesses they are authorised for without juggling separate usernames and passwords. The right context is always one click away.
A group with several GST registrations prepares and exports supported GST return data per entity for manual portal filing, with tax values kept within the selected registration.
Invite different team members to different businesses, each with the permissions that fit. Access is scoped per business and governed by the account’s assigned role.
The same invoicing, GST, inventory, and payroll tools work across every business. Learn ReadyBooks once and apply it to your whole portfolio.
Running several entities on separate tools — or worse, separate spreadsheets — multiplies the work. One multi-business workspace organises the work while keeping business contexts distinct.
Each entity’s revenue, expenses, and supported GST return work are reviewed within its own business context.
Accountants and advisors move between the businesses they manage in one session, instead of logging in and out of disconnected accounts.
Permissions are scoped per business, so a team member only ever touches the entities they are responsible for.
Add another company or GSTIN to your portfolio without re-learning a new tool or re-training your team.
The hard part of managing multiple businesses is holding two ideas at once: each entity needs its own book context for review, yet you want one place to work from. ReadyBooks is designed for that workflow.
Tenant-scoped authorization and database-enforced row policies are applied as defense in depth. Accountants and advisors authorised across several businesses get a consistent way to work across them, subject to the permissions granted to their account.
Group companies, multiple GSTINs, and client books all need separate book contexts and controlled access.
Indian businesses rarely stay a single legal entity for long. A trading firm spins up a manufacturing company; a founder holds two GSTINs across states; a family runs three related businesses under one roof. The moment you have more than one entity, your accounting has to keep them genuinely separate — co-mingled books are a compliance problem, not a convenience.
ReadyBooks uses tenant-scoped authorization and database-enforced row policies as defense in depth. Each business is represented in its own book context, and access is governed by the permissions granted to the account managing it.
The practical payoff is business-specific reporting. Each entity has its own supported GST return preparation/export, P&L, balance sheet, and ledger; GST portal validation, payment, and filing remain manual.
For chartered accountants and accounting professionals, multi-business support is the whole job. ReadyBooks lets a CA firm manage a roster of client businesses from one place, with authorised firm members moving between the client books assigned to them without separate logins for each.
Access is granular. You can put junior staff on specific clients, keep partners across the businesses they are authorised for, and use supported activity records to review who worked on which client books and when. Tenant-scoped access controls and database policies are applied as defense in depth.
If you run an accounting practice, the dedicated chartered-accountant workflow goes further — client onboarding, period-lock collaboration, and task queues built for firms. The multi-business foundation described here is what makes all of that safe.
GST is registration-specific. A business with operations in several states, or distinct lines of business under separate registrations, should keep each GSTIN’s input tax credit and output liability apart. ReadyBooks mirrors that workflow: each entity’s GST data is computed and exported for its own manual portal filing, with CGST, SGST, and IGST tracked per registration.
That keeps each entity’s supported GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B working data separated for review, attributes e-invoices and e-way bills to the selected GSTIN, and keeps registration-specific values within that workflow. When you want a portfolio-level view, review each business’s reports side by side rather than relying on a blended number.
Everything above depends on businesses not seeing each other’s data. ReadyBooks applies tenant-scoped authorization and database-enforced row policies as defense in depth, with isolation tests covering sensitive cross-tenant paths.
The same architecture that lets you manage many businesses supports separate business contexts and controlled access. If you want the current details of how data is encrypted, access-controlled, and audited, the security page covers them.
Each company has its own tenant-scoped ledger and GST return preparation workflow. The group’s authorised accountant manages all three from a single login without combining their books.
Partners and junior staff work within the businesses assigned to their accounts, and supported activity records provide review context for client work.
Each outlet keeps independent books and GST returns, while head office moves between them in one session to monitor performance and close periods consistently.
