We implement Odoo Accounting so your numbers are ready at any moment: double-entry books, bank reconciliation, VAT and financial statements generated from the transactions themselves — not stitched together from scattered spreadsheets.

Direct answers
A complete accounting module inside Odoo covering the chart of accounts, double-entry journal entries, customer invoices and vendor bills, taxes, multi-currency, bank reconciliation, fixed assets and depreciation, and financial reporting. It runs on the same database as inventory, sales and purchasing, so every operational transaction reaches the books directly.
We configure Odoo to issue invoices in the required format with the mandatory fields, invoice sequencing and QR code, then run the tests against the ZATCA sandbox before the live integration. Final compliance and approval remain the taxpayer’s responsibility, so the exact scope is documented in the proposal before work starts.
Yes. We migrate the chart of accounts, opening balances, receivables, payables and fixed assets, and reconcile the balances before go-live. During discovery we agree what moves as an opening balance and what needs line-level migration, and we document any difference before closing.
Typically four to ten weeks for a single entity: one to two weeks for discovery and chart-of-accounts design, two to four weeks for configuration and balance migration, then one to two weeks for testing, training and go-live. The real duration depends on the number of branches and currencies and on the volume of historical data.
The problem
These are the situations we see most before an implementation. Each one costs time that repeats every single month.
Every branch or activity keeps its own file, the totals do not agree, and the same review is repeated by hand every month.
The period only closes after long manual reconciliations, so decisions are made on stale numbers.
VAT amounts are collected from different files, and a mistake surfaces in the return instead of the ledger.
Statements pile up because line-by-line matching consumes time nobody has at close.
Invoices are recorded twice — once in the sales system and once in accounting — and the gap is found later.
Nobody can tell who changed an entry or when, which is where an external auditor stops.
The solution

Import statements and reconcile them with suggested matches, using rules learned from recurring transactions.
Multiple tax rates, line-level taxes, exemption and export cases, and a ready tax report.
Invoices and payments in different currencies, with exchange differences and period-end revaluation.
Allocate revenue and cost across projects, branches and activities to see true profitability.
An asset register with automatic depreciation on the standard methods, revaluation, and disposal on sale.

ZATCA
E-invoicing is not a feature bolted on at the end — it shapes how the invoice cycle is designed from day one.
Invoice templates configured in the required format with the QR code
Mandatory fields, invoice sequencing and gap-free numbering enforced
VAT configured with its rates, exemptions and export cases
Simplified and standard invoices set up per transaction type
Tests executed against the ZATCA sandbox before the live link
The compliance scope and its steps documented in the proposal up front
Our boundary is explicit: we configure the system, run the tests and hand over the documentation. Final approval and statutory compliance rest with the taxpayer, and we claim no full compliance before the live integration is complete.
Reporting
Every report is computed from posted transactions, drillable down to the original entry, and exportable to Excel or PDF.
Net revenue and expense for the period, against the prior period and the budget.
Assets, liabilities and equity at a chosen date, with comparatives.
Actual cash movement from operating, investing and financing activity.
Who owes you, how much, and by how many days, bucketed by ageing period.
What you owe suppliers and when it falls due, to avoid late-payment penalties.
Output and input VAT for the period, structured for the return.
Each branch or project result after allocating direct and indirect cost.
Every movement on an account by date, with a trial balance that balances at any moment.
Integration
Accounting does not work in isolation. Transactions arrive from POS, inventory, purchasing and payroll, and payments reconcile against bank statements.
Import statements (CSV / OFX / CAMT) and reconcile automatically, with direct bank feeds where an integration provider is available.
Record online payments and match them to invoices to cut manual collection work.
A closed POS session posts straight to the ledger, so cash sales reach the books immediately.
Inventory valuation feeds cost of goods sold into the statements with no manual entries.
Three-way matching of purchase order, receipt and bill before approval.
A payroll run generates its own journal entry, with accruals and deductions.
Link timesheets and expenses to a project to measure each contract’s margin.
Store orders create the invoice, payments and delivery entries with no double entry.

We build the chart, analytic dimensions and posting map, and get it signed off by your finance lead before configuration.
Approved chart of accounts
Configure modules, taxes and currencies, then migrate opening balances, receivables, payables and assets with reconciliation.
Reconciled, documented balances
Configure templates, fields, sequencing and the QR code, then run the tests against the ZATCA sandbox.
Documented test results
Hands-on training per role — accountant, cashier, branch manager and finance lead — on your own data.
Arabic user guides
A supervised go-live with us alongside for the first close, then local support with a clear escalation path.

Scope
Three scopes by entity size. Pricing is set after discovery, because branches, currencies and data volume are what actually move it.
A single entity with one branch and a small finance team that wants accurate books and to leave spreadsheets behind.
A mid-sized company with several branches or activities that needs per-branch profitability, operational links and e-invoicing configuration.
A group or multi-entity organisation needing consolidated reporting, customisations and complex integrations.
We deliberately publish no fixed prices: the right number depends on your actual scope. Ask for a proposal that states the deliverables, timeline and responsibilities.
FAQ
Yes — Odoo (odoo.com) is listed in the official Solution Providers directory of the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority (ZATCA), qualified for Phase One: generation and storage. The listing can be verified directly in the directory on ZATCA’s website. To be precise, ZATCA attaches a disclaimer to that directory: it is indicative and non-binding, it is not an approval by the authority of the solutions listed in it, and a taxpayer is entitled to work with any provider, listed or not. Phase Two (integration) is not qualified at brand level: the Compliance CSID and the Production CSID are issued to a single entity bound to its tax number (TIN), and they do not transfer to another entity. In practice, Odoo ships the Saudi localisation (l10n_sa) and e-invoicing (l10n_sa_edi) modules in its standard distribution, and we deliver the full certification path for your entity through to production — with no accreditation claim of our own.
Usually yes. We start from your current chart and restructure it only where needed so reporting and analytic accounting work, and you sign off the final version before configuration. We do not impose a template chart when yours is sound.
We reconcile the trial balance before and after migration, match receivables, payables and assets item by item, and hand you a documented difference report. The first period is not closed until you approve it.
Yes. Odoo supports multiple companies and branches in one database, with separate reporting per entity and consolidated reporting for the group, plus permissions controlling who sees what.
No. We start with the core scope that covers your actual need, and other modules can be added later on the same database without re-implementing. The scope is set after discovery, not before.
We stay with you through the first close, then support moves to a clear channel with a defined response time. An annual support agreement can cover upgrades, periodic review and refresher training.
Yes. The interface and reporting support full Arabic and English with RTL, and printed templates can carry your branding in whichever language your customer needs.
Yes, and it is one of the strongest reasons to choose Odoo. A closed POS session and inventory movements post their entries automatically, so operations reach the statements with no double entry.
Yes. Invoices and payments in different currencies, with exchange differences and period-end revaluation, and separate tax treatment for exports and exemptions.
A common situation. During discovery we decide what moves as an opening balance and what deserves line-level migration, and we clean the data before loading instead of carrying old problems into the new system.
Yes. A posted period is locked, and any later change needs an exceptional permission and is recorded in the audit trail with the user and time.
It depends on scope and the number of roles. What is certain is that training is delivered in Arabic on your own data rather than a demo dataset, with written user guides that stay with you.
Yes, and it is a core Odoo advantage. Modules share one database, so adding inventory, manufacturing or HR later does not require re-implementing accounting.
Odoo can be self-implemented, but the accounting design decides whether the project succeeds: chart of accounts, posting map, tax treatment and balance structure. We design that layer first, and that is what makes the close work later.
Tell us your entity size and current system, and we will come back with an outline plan and a clear scope.
One discovery session is enough for us to size the work: your chart of accounts, branches, currencies and current system.
Business Solutions is an independent company specialising in Odoo implementations. We are not Odoo S.A. and we do not claim official partner status. We publish no figures, certifications or accreditations without verifiable evidence, and our responsibility boundary for e-invoicing requirements is documented in the proposal.
