Tally on Mobile: How to Access Tally ERP 9 / TallyPrime Data on Your Phone
Short answer: yes, Tally can be used on mobile. Tally ERP 9 and TallyPrime don't have a native mobile app, but you can view live sales, outstanding, stock, and other reports on your phone using a connector app that syncs with your desktop Tally installation. AccoSync is one such app — it installs a lightweight connector on your Tally PC and mirrors your reports to Android and iOS in real time, without changing anything in your books.
If you're an owner who's ever had to call your accountant from outside the office just to check today's sales or an outstanding balance, this guide covers exactly how it works, what you need, and what to check before you pick a tool.
Can Tally be used on mobile?
Tally ERP 9 and TallyPrime are both desktop applications built for Windows, and neither has an official Tally-built mobile app. So directly, no — you can't install \"Tally\" itself on a phone the way you'd install WhatsApp.

How to view Tally on mobile: step by step
The general setup process looks like this, regardless of which connector app you choose:
- Install the connector app on the Windows PC or server running Tally ERP 9 or TallyPrime. This is typically a small executable, not a full install.
- Enable ODBC in Tally, if it isn't already on. Most connectors walk you through this in a setup screen — it's a checkbox in Tally's configuration, not custom code.
- Allow the connector through Windows Firewall, since it needs to talk to the mobile app over your network or the internet. This is the step most setup issues come from — if data isn't syncing, check here first.
- Select which company (or companies) in Tally you want to sync, if you manage more than one.
- Install the mobile app on your phone and log in. Once the initial sync completes, your reports — sales, outstanding, stock, ledgers — should appear and update automatically going forward.
- With AccoSync specifically, this entire flow is designed to be handled by someone non-technical — the connector auto-detects your running Tally instance, and most of the setup is a guided wizard rather than manual configuration.
What you can actually see and do on mobile?
Depending on the connector app, mobile access to Tally typically includes:
- Daily, monthly, and yearly sales figures
- Party-wise outstanding receivables and payables
- Stock summary, including item-wise and godown-wise views
- P&L, balance sheet, and cash/bank balances
- Ledger and voucher-level drill-down for any party
- Sharing statements or ledgers directly via WhatsApp, without generating a PDF manually first
Most connector apps, including AccoSync, offer this access as view-only by default — you're checking numbers, not editing your books from your phone. This matters for data integrity: your accountant's entries stay the single source of truth in Tally itself.
Is it safe? Where does the data go?
This is worth asking regardless of which app you pick, since you're dealing with financial data. Different connector apps handle this differently — some sync data through their own cloud servers, others sync more directly between your PC and your device. Before setting one up, it's worth checking the vendor's own documentation on where your data is processed and stored, rather than assuming.
Do you need Tally ERP 9 specifically, or does this work with TallyPrime too?
Most modern connector apps, AccoSync included, support both Tally ERP 9 and TallyPrime — you don't need to upgrade or change your existing setup to get mobile access. What you do need is a Windows PC (Windows 7 or newer, generally) running a licensed copy of either version, since the connector piggybacks on your existing Tally license rather than replacing it.
Getting started
If you want to try this on your own Tally setup, AccoSync's connector installs on your existing PC in a few minutes and doesn't require any changes to your books. You can start a trial and see your own live data on your phone before deciding whether to continue.
