- What is the best ERP software for a small business in the US?
- The right system handles destination-based sales tax across every state where you have nexus, runs multi-state payroll on the same ledger, supports the modules you actually operate, and can be live in weeks. Tellency covers finance, sales, inventory, purchasing, payroll, manufacturing, POS and projects, and is configured to a business in one to four weeks.
- How much does ERP software cost in the US?
- Plan for a recurring per-user subscription plus a one-time implementation. Tellency's per-user subscription starts at $79 per user per month, and implementation is scoped as a fixed project including migration, configuration and training. Enterprise ERPs are typically quoted in months of consulting time, which is where most of the cost sits.
- Does Tellency handle sales tax in all 50 states?
- Yes. Tax is computed by ship-to address at the state, county and city level, tracked by jurisdiction for nexus exposure, and reported per state for filing. Marketplace-facilitator sales are handled so you do not double-remit.
- Can Tellency run multi-state payroll and produce W-2s and 1099s?
- Yes. Payroll covers federal and state withholding, state unemployment insurance, local taxes where they apply, and year-end W-2 and 1099-NEC forms, all posted to the same general ledger as the rest of your business.
- Does Tellency support multiple entities and consolidation?
- Yes. Each entity keeps its own books, intercompany transactions are tracked, and a consolidated reporting layer gives the group view. Revenue recognition follows ASC 606 for subscription and multi-period contracts.
- How long does a Tellency implementation take?
- One to four weeks for most businesses: confirm the chart of accounts and tax setup, configure modules, migrate customers, vendors, items, open AR and AP and opening balances, train the team, and run a parallel month-end before cut-over.
- Can we migrate from QuickBooks?
- Yes. Migration is part of implementation — chart of accounts, customers, vendors, inventory, open receivables and payables and historical balances are brought across and reconciled to your closing trial balance before go-live.
- Can the AI post transactions by itself?
- No. AI agents can prepare reconciliations, draft entries and chase receivables, but every ledger posting waits for human approval and every amount must trace to a source document. Both the approval and the source are recorded in the audit trail.
- Is Tellency available in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and other US cities?
- Yes. Tellency serves businesses nationwide, and we maintain pages for New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Boston, Phoenix, Denver and San Francisco describing the local tax and industry considerations for each market.
