Why The Tally Group

Finance expertise without the enterprise price tag.

We built The Tally Group because small businesses deserve the same quality of financial support as large corporations — without the overhead of a full in-house team. You get the outcome; we handle the work.

Fully credentialed team

Every accountant holds ACCA, CPA or CA credentials. No juniors training on your books — just experienced people handling your numbers.

Time-zone aligned delivery

Flexible schedules that overlap with your business day — whether you're in Sydney, Auckland, Toronto or Colombo.

Bank-grade security

Strong encryption, signed confidentiality agreements and controlled access on every engagement. Your data stays protected, always.

Certified Xero advisors

We're Xero specialists and also work with QuickBooks, MYOB and NetSuite — fitting into whatever software you already use, and automating busywork wherever it saves you money.

About Us

Boutique expertise.
Real business impact.

The Tally Group was founded with a single conviction: that founders and small businesses deserve the same calibre of financial talent as large corporations — without the overhead of a full in-house team.

We are a team of qualified accountants based in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is known for producing excellent financial talent — with some of the world's highest ACCA pass rates and a strong, long-standing tradition of professional training.

"We don't think of ourselves as an outsourcing provider. We are the finance department you always wished you had — smart, proactive, and invested in your outcomes."

We work with businesses across Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Sri Lanka — e-commerce founders, professional services firms, tech startups and traditional small businesses at every stage of growth. Wherever you are, our focus is the same: fewer hours lost to finance, and better decisions made because of it.
