NGO Accounting Software That Talks to Your Receipts
When donations and books live in different worlds, someone always pays the price, usually your treasurer, usually at 11 PM. TrustSetu connects them.
Generic accounting tools weren't designed for annadan counters and hundi collections. TrustSetu understands how Indian NGOs record income and expenses, and keeps your donation register and ledgers in sync without duplicate typing.
Why Excel + Tally breaks down for NGOs
These gaps show up every March, right when you need clarity most.
Double data entry
Receipt in one system, voucher in another. One typo, two wrong reports.
Cash vs bank confusion
Temple counters, NGO camps, and bank transfers, reconciling them manually eats weekends.
No donation-to-ledger link
You know total donations raised. Mapping each receipt to the right income head? That's another story.
Voucher piles
Paper vouchers in a drawer, entries “pending” for weeks. Auditors notice.
Expense without context
A number in a cell doesn't explain which program spent it, trustees ask why, you scramble for proof.
Overkill complexity
Full ERP for a 12-person sangh? Your volunteers deserve simpler.
Accounting your committee will trust
Clear books, fewer surprises, faster audits.
Income & expense ledgers
Structured heads that match how trusts actually categorize funds.
Cash book & bank book
See every inflow and outflow, filter by date, account, or category.
Payment vouchers

Donation-linked entries
Receipts flow into accounting, no re-keying donation amounts.

Export for your CA
PDF and Excel exports that auditors and accountants already expect.
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers. No sales fluff.
Do NGOs need separate accounting software?
Many NGOs use Tally or Excel alongside donation tools, which means double entry and mismatched numbers. TrustSetu links donations directly to income ledgers, cash book, and bank book so books stay aligned automatically.
Is TrustSetu a replacement for Tally?
For day-to-day trust and NGO operations, donations, vouchers, cash/bank books, and standard reports, yes. For complex corporate structures or GST filing at scale, you may still use a CA's preferred tools; TrustSetu exports clean data for them.
Does it follow the Indian financial year?
Yes. Reports and receipt numbering respect April to March financial year conventions used by Indian trusts and NGOs.
Can our auditor access reports?
You can export income-expense, cash book, and bank book reports to PDF or Excel for your auditor, no more photocopying registers.
