Your Zoho Books subscription supports multiple organisations under one account (the number depends on your plan). To add a new organisation, click on the organisation name in the top navigation, select Add New Organisation, and complete the setup for the new entity: organisation name, GSTIN, registered address, base currency (INR for Indian entities), and fiscal year. The new organisation starts completely blank and requires its own Chart of Accounts setup, customer and vendor records, and opening balances.
Indian businesses use multi-organisation in Zoho Books when they have: multiple legal entities (a holding company and subsidiaries), businesses in multiple states with separate GST registrations, separate entities for different business verticals (trading vs. services), or a CA firm managing multiple client books. Each organisation in Zoho Books is completely independent: a transaction in one entity does not affect another.
Zoho Books does not currently offer a built-in consolidated financial report across multiple organisations. Each entity’s reports are separate. For businesses that need consolidated group accounts, the standard approach is to export the Trial Balance or P&L from each Zoho Books organisation into Excel and prepare the consolidation manually (with intercompany eliminations handled by the CA). This is a known limitation for group companies and is typically addressed by an annual consolidation exercise.
Multi-organisation in Zoho Books lets you manage multiple separate legal entities under one account, each with its own Chart of Accounts, GST registration, bank accounts, and reports, switchable from a single login.
Click on your organisation name in the navigation bar and select Add New Organisation. Enter the entity details (name, GSTIN, address, currency, fiscal year). Switch between organisations using the organisation switcher.
