Frequently Asked Questions

What is FreshTally?
FreshTally is one connected business platform: inventory, invoice scanning, scheduling, Event Pro, management reporting, government and fund accounting, payroll and HR, and time clock. Each company turns on only the products it needs.
Who is FreshTally for?
Restaurants, golf & country clubs, banquet halls, wedding venues, retail shops, park districts and other public agencies — any organization that wants operations, accounting and payroll in one place.
Does FreshTally include accounting and payroll?
Yes. Government & fund accounting (general ledger, AP/AR, purchasing, budgets, bank reconciliation, audit trail) and Payroll & HR (pay runs with separate preparer and approver, check printing, bank file downloads, federal and Illinois tax liability and filing reports) are available as separate products, set up with our team and quoted per organization. Tax filings are prepared as reports that you submit to the agencies yourself.
Can our admin decide who works on what?
Yes. The company admin gives each person a role — for example finance director, payroll administrator, AP clerk or department manager — and every screen and approval follows that role. The person who prepares a payment or pay run can never approve it.
How quickly can I get started?
Under 5 minutes. Create your account, add your location, invite your team, and you're counting inventory. No complex setup or training required.
Does FreshTally use AI?
Yes. Kevin and Abby, the Fresh Tally AI assistants, help with invoice reading, vendor matching, report ingestion, operational insights and workflow guidance. AI handles the tedious work — you stay in control with human verification on every step.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. The operations modules (inventory, events, daily operations, scheduling and Kevin AI) include a free trial. Trial length depends on your business or agency and is confirmed when you sign up or talk with our team. A card or bank account is added at signup, nothing is charged during the trial, and you can cancel anytime. Bank account (ACH) auto-debit or debit card has no fee; credit cards add a 3% service fee to each payment. Government & Fund Accounting, Payroll & HR and Time Clock are available by demo, quoted per organization.
Can I customize which modules I use?
Absolutely. FreshTally is modular — activate only what you need. Start with inventory and add scheduling, events, accounting, or reporting when you're ready.
