In this blog, we would discuss:

1. what is Tally,
2. Career opportunities with Tally
3. learning platforms

Let’s first try to understand what Tally is and how it can give a boost to your career and bank balance.

What is Tally?

Tally Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is an Indian MNC, which makes enterprise resource planning software. The firm was founded in 1986 by Shyam Sundar Goenka and his son Bharat Goenka.

The first version of the software was made by Bharat when his father could not find an accounting software to manage the accounts of his machine part business.

The company got incorporated in 1991 and officially changed its name to Tally in 1991. Since then they have released multiple versions of different software to help small and medium enterprises in managing their accounts and business.

Tally launched Tally ERP 9 in 2009, Tally GST compliance software in 2015 and Tally prime in 2020.

As per the company, Tally software is used by almost 1.8 million customers across the nation.

Tally is not just limited to maintaining books. As of now millions of companies in India use Tally for various other applications like job, costing, purchase, Payroll, branch management etc.

Colloquially Tally is used to refer to the range of solutions created by Tally solutions for effectively running the business.

Why learn Tally?

Now that you know what is Tally, let’s see why one should learn using Tally. We saw in the earlier section that almost 18 lakh customers in India use Tally.

You could say it is the most used accounting software in India due to its simplicity and affordability.

The best part about Tally is its range of applications. Simple Tally versions can be used by a shopkeeper to maintain his books without the help of an accountant. And a big multinational firm can take the advanced version to maintain its books, inventory etc with the help of professionals.

Accounting, billing, inventory, HR management etc are some of the crucial functions of a company. And in modern times it is not possible to track each of them using pen and paper and hence, software like Tally are used by most companies to manage, maintain and track these functions.

Hence, Tally related skills have been in great demand for the past decade. Learning tally can help you in multiple ways:

1. Even you have just passed your 12th with Tally skills, you can take part-time or full-time jobs as an accountant, data entry operator, account assistant, tally operator
2. You can use the knowledge to run your own shop, a family business or your own enterprise.

How to build a career in tally?

Learning Tally would give you an edge over other students of your age and you can easily make decent money to fulfil your own needs and contribute to your family as well.

If you become a Tally expert then there are many career options that you can explore like inventory manager, bookkeeper etc.

Tally Freelancing is a new career prospect that you can explore. Instead of working full time, you can work a few hours a day and that too remotely. All you have to do is perform basic bookkeeping, accounting functions, create and provide GST reports, pay TDS, make receivable and payable statements, and bank reconciliation statements. etc

If you love teaching and have in-depth knowledge of Tally then you can also teach Tally and make a living.

Your employability would increase almost two times with Tally.

From where to learn

For building a career with Tally first you need to learn Tally. So Tally is a vast software solution. You need not learn everything. You can learn as per your requirement. You can learn Tally for bookkeeping, billing, payroll management etc.

There are many online and offline platforms that provide Tally tutorials and courses. Tally Solutions has its own learning hub as well.

Udemy and Youtube also have countless tutorials on Tally through which you can learn. You can choose any of these if you wish.

But if you want a more engaging learning experience, tailored to your specific needs in which you can interact with the trainer as well from the safety net of your home then none of these platforms would be able to serve you.

But you don’t need to worry. This is where Scholarbees comes into the picture.

Learning anything on Scholarbees is very different from learning it from any other platform. Most platforms are just repositories of pre-recorded sessions that provide no engagement with the trainer.

And just in case you have a doubt, you have to get it resolved on your own which might be good in some cases. But you might not always have the time and bandwidth for this.

Also if you need help with specific sections then it might be a nightmare for you to find out that section from the coursework.

But not on Scholarbees. For a more interactive, engaging, efficient and fulfilling learning experience book sessions for learning Tally on Scholarbees. Scholarbees allows you to:
