Most Odoo accounting setups are configured by developers.
Mine are configured by an accountant.
That difference matters when your chart of accounts
doesn't make sense, your bank reconciliation won't close,
or your P&L is showing numbers your auditor won't sign.
I've been on the accounting side for 5+ years — closing
books, reconciling banks, preparing financials for
statutory auditors — before I ever opened Odoo. I know
what a broken setup looks like from the inside, and I
know exactly how to fix it.

WHAT I DO

→ Bank reconciliation — up to 3+ accounts, matched
transaction by transaction
→ Data migration — zero-error imports, External IDs,
parent-child sequencing

→ Monthly bookkeeping — ongoing, auditor-ready reports
