Small-business accounting · Practical guide
Record foreign-currency income, review the ledger in your book currency, and export a trial balance to Excel with TellyNest.
No login needed for the read-only sample. Creating or editing entries requires your own book.
01
In your own book, open Journal. Choose Quick entry, enter the name, date, amount and source currency, and review the posting before saving.
02
Open Ledger & trial balance and choose the accounting period. Review the original amount and recorded FX conversion in the account ledger. Display-currency valuations are a separate view.
03
Use Export trial balance to download an Excel workbook for your accountant. Keep the date range and book currency with the file.
Sales invoices, supplier bills and serialized inventory currently use the book currency. Missing historical exchange rates must be resolved; they are not treated as zero. Bank rates and fees may differ.
Before your first real entry
Records are stored with Supabase in Tokyo, Japan. Signing out does not delete them. The workspace does not offer a full-account backup download or self-service point-in-time restore. Save regular exports; contact support about recovery before relying on it.
Download Excel working papers from supported journal, ledger, trial-balance, chart, asset and report screens. Print custom financial statements or save them as PDF. Exports are not a complete restorable copy of the account.
The workspace supports English and Simplified Chinese, with a functional currency for each book. It provides general small-business bookkeeping, not a country-specific tax or payroll system. Confirm local recordkeeping and data-transfer requirements before using real business records.
Bank reconciliation uses uploaded CSV or .xlsx files and user-confirmed matches; there are no automatic bank feeds or money transfers. Inventory tracks serialized units, not a full warehouse or returns system. Tax filing and statutory certification are not included.
