Accounting software

Key: fit to your reporting (local tax filing needs local software), user count, e-doc integration, bank feeds, multi-currency, API.

For Ukraine: BAS/1C — the tax-accounting standard. M.E.Doc — filings. Checkbox — fiscal registers. LiqFin/FinMap — light sole-trader books. Dilovod — cloud accounting.

QuickBooks/Xero — for international clients and US/UK reporting. Wave — free basic. Odoo/ERPNext — when you need ERP with CRM/inventory, not just books.

Plan: export chart of accounts and balances → a parallel test month → turnover reconciliation → switch at a quarter start. Never migrate mid-period.

The license is only part: cost = subscription + implementation + training + data conversion + support. Cheap software with an expensive operator costs more.

Cloud: vendor backups + regular data export. On-prem: own backups, role-based access. Signing key — on a token, not the work machine. Ex-employee access — revoked on exit day.
