Frequently asked questions
Step-by-step instructions live in the guide.
What does FYNEST actually do?
It turns a Tally trial balance into ICAI-compliant financial statements for proprietorship and partnership entities — balance sheet, profit and loss, and all twenty-three notes. The output is an Excel workbook with the formulas left in, so every figure can be traced back to the ledger it came from.
Is my client data stored on your servers?
No. The uploaded file is held in memory while the workbook is built and is gone the moment the response is sent. Nothing is written to disk and no copy is kept of either the input or the output. Your classification rules are stored in your own browser and never uploaded at all.
How do I get the file FYNEST needs?
You do not need a file at all. Install the Tally Suite once on the PC that runs Tally, then open FYNEST with the company loaded and press Fetch trial balance. The guide walks through it — about two minutes, once per computer. A trial balance someone sent you as a file works too: drop it on the upload box.
Can I use it if I don't use Tally?
Yes, if your software can produce the same columns. Download the sample trial balance and match its headers exactly: Name, Primary Group, Opening Balance, Debit Totals, Credit Totals, Closing Balance, Is Dr Opening Balance, Is Dr Closing Balance..csv, .xlsx and .xls all work, as do comma, semicolon and tab separators.
What is the Check tab, and do I need to read it?
Yes — read it before you sign anything. It is the first tab, and it tells you whether the balance sheet balances, whether any ledger landed in a category no statement line reads, whether two ledgers were merged because they share a name, and whether any figure could not be read. Every one of those used to happen silently. More on reading it.
A ledger is missing from the statements. Why?
Almost always because its Tally group is not one FYNEST recognises, so it reached no note and no face-sheet line. The Check tab lists exactly which ones and for how much. Set the group once on the upload screen and FYNEST remembers it for every future statement, for every client.
Which entity types are supported?
Proprietorship and partnership. Each uses its own ICAI format — partnership adds partners' capital accounts and partner remuneration. LLP and company formats are not supported.
Is FYNEST affiliated with the ICAI?
No. FYNEST follows the ICAI format for non-corporate entities but has no affiliation with, or endorsement from, the Institute.
Who is responsible for the numbers?
You are. FYNEST classifies and arranges what your trial balance contains; it cannot know your client's business. Review the Check tab, then the statements themselves, before signing. If something is wrong, tell us — we would rather hear it than not.
Who built it?
ROSHI.IN, with professional input from CA Himanshu Aggarwal.
