Works with HelloBooks
Payroll that posts to journal entries automatically.
Connect HelloTime to your HelloBooks entity once. From then on, every payroll run pushes salary, employer contributions and statutory dues as a journal entry into HelloBooks — mapped to the chart of accounts you choose. No CSV exports. No double entry. No reconciliation guesswork.
One Meru Fin Tech login
The same email and password that runs your books runs payroll. No second user database to manage.
Salary journal posts automatically
Each finalised pay run becomes a HelloBooks journal entry within seconds — gross, deductions, net, and statutory liabilities, fully classified.
GST invoicing with billable hours
Time logged on a client engagement flows into a HelloBooks GST invoice in one click. The hours your team tracks become revenue, not a spreadsheet.
Priced to undercut every alternative.

Frequently asked
Does HelloBooks have payroll?
Payroll runs in HelloTime — the Meru Fin Tech sibling product. HelloTime handles attendance, leave and India payroll (PF, ESI, PT, TDS), and the salary journal entry posts straight into HelloBooks. One login, two apps.
How do I run payroll if I am already on HelloBooks?
Sign up for HelloTime with the same Meru Fin Tech login, add your team, and connect HelloTime to your HelloBooks entity. Each payroll run posts a journal entry to HelloBooks automatically — no CSV exports, no double entry.
Can HelloTime auto-create salary journal entries in HelloBooks?
Yes. When a payroll run is finalised in HelloTime, the salary, deductions and statutory dues are pushed as a journal entry into the connected HelloBooks entity, mapped to the chart of accounts you configure once.
Is HelloTime free for HelloBooks customers?
HelloTime offers a 7-day free trial — no credit card required. After that, the Pro plan is ₹150/user/month during the India launch promo (list ₹300). Volume discounts and 20% annual prepay apply.
Does HelloTime handle PF, ESI, PT and TDS?
Yes. HelloTime supports India payroll out of the box, including PF, ESI, Professional Tax and TDS on salary. Compliance reports are generated alongside each pay run.
How is HelloTime different from Tally payroll?
Tally payroll is a desktop add-on with manual attendance and no native mobile app. HelloTime is mobile-first with GPS attendance, leave self-service for staff, and a live integration to HelloBooks for the salary journal — you do not maintain two systems.
