Tally is tailored to Indian accounting standards and taxation practices, while GNUCash is more generically suited for western markets.
If your needs are more for enterprise purposes, you could take a look at an open source ERP package and the chances of successfully mapping it for your use. AlternativelyN you can use thr Linux version of Tally if you don't mind the upfront expense and proprietory nature.

Hi Folks,
Am building a list of Applications to be presented as OSAlt (Open Source Alternatives) to frequently used commercial applications.
Some of my accountant friends asked me one single question, and am finding answer for it:
"Do you have anything for Tally that will work on Linux?"
Since I am not from financial background and never used Tally, I didnt find a proper answer. Through Search Engine I did come across GnuCash, but dont know how it compares to Tally.
Has anyone used it, so that I can lay out points on transitioning from Tally to GnuCash or any other OpenSource/Free Alternative to Tally.
