White Paper

Traditionally seen as a dull and unexciting part of a business, accounting is rapidly evolving into one of its most critical components, especially as businesses grow and adapt. Accountants, with their deep understanding of operational workflows and detailed knowledge of an organization's financial position, are uniquely positioned to be key informational resources within a company. To support their role effectively, it is vital that they are equipped with the right tools to monitor financial health. Although the market offers a variety of accounting software options with features and reporting capabilities tailored to accountants' needs, choosing the right one can be challenging. Most growing businesses already use a commercial management solution, so the best choice would be accounting software that integrates seamlessly with their current system, saving time and resources. Accounting software is available in both locally installed and cloud-based formats, with cloud options gaining popularity among small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) due to their ease of use and affordability. To help identify the best solution, a comparison was conducted between major players in the market - QuickBooks, Sage, and Xero - against Odoo, focusing on six core categories: General Accounting, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable, Bank & Cash, Extras, and Reporting. These categories cover nearly all financial management needs, and the comparison also includes detailed pricing and usability insights for each platform.
