Since GST came in, every registered business - from a hardware shop in Kundapura to a hotel in Gangolli - has to file returns on time, every month. That single change turned Tally from a convenience into a compliance requirement, and it created steady demand for people who can operate it properly.
What the job actually looks like
A junior accountant in a local business typically handles:
- Recording purchase and sales entries with the correct GST rates
- Raising tax invoices and delivery challans
- Maintaining stock and inventory records
- Reconciling bank statements
- Preparing the monthly data the CA needs for GSTR filing
- Running payroll and generating payslips
None of this is difficult once you have done it a few hundred times. What employers cannot find is someone who has actually done it - as opposed to someone who has watched it being done.
What you need to learn
- Accounting basics - debit, credit, ledgers and the trial balance. Skip this and Tally will never make sense.
- Tally Prime operation - company creation, masters, voucher entry, inventory.
- GST inside Tally - tax masters, invoice formats, input credit and GSTR reports.
- Payroll - pay heads, attendance, statutory deductions.
- Excel alongside it - most real reporting still happens in a spreadsheet.
