Freelance Accountant
About This Role
We are seeking an experienced freelance accountant to migrate our accounting records from Tally to Zoho Books for a Saudi Arabia-based company.
Short-term / Project-based
Zoho Books is already in use for sales invoicing, while Tally has been used for full accounting. The objective is to complete a clean migration into Zoho Books without duplicating existing data and while restructuring the Chart of Accounts.
Scope Of Work
- Migrate accounting data from Tally to Zoho Books
- Work with an existing Zoho Chart of Accounts (different from Tally) and perform proper account mapping
- Set up accurate opening balances (GL, customers, suppliers, bank, etc.)
- Ensure no duplication of sales invoices, revenue, accounts receivable, or VAT, as sales invoices already exist in Zoho Books
- Migrate only relevant data (expenses, payables, bank transactions, journals, etc.) from Tally
- Reconcile data between Tally and Zoho to ensure completeness and accuracy
- Configure VAT in line with Saudi regulations (ZATCA / FATOORA requirements)
- Review and finalize system setup (reports, tax settings, financial statements)
- Validate and clean migrated data
Key Requirements
- Proven experience in Tally to Zoho Books migration
- Strong experience with Zoho Books implementation and configuration
- Experience handling hybrid systems (partial data already in Zoho)
- Solid understanding of Chart of Accounts restructuring and account mapping
- Familiarity with Saudi VAT and ZATCA (FATOORA) compliance
- Strong reconciliation skills and attention to detail
Deliverables
- Fully configured Zoho Books system
- Clean and accurate migrated data (no duplication)
- Properly mapped Chart of Accounts
- Verified opening balances and reconciled accounts
- VAT-compliant setup for Saudi Arabia
- Summary of work performed and handover notes
Short-term project (estimated 3-10 days depending on scope)
Application Requirements
- Details of similar projects (especially Tally β Zoho migrations)
- Experience with Saudi VAT / ZATCA
- Proposed migration approach for this hybrid setup
- Estimated timeline and cost
