Your finances deserve more than a workaround. Your ERP should be built right the first time. Most finance problems aren't really accounting problems or software problems. They happen when the person running the system doesn't understand the books, or the person keeping the books doesn't understand the system. I cover both sides, and I audit the result. I'm a CPA-qualified consultant with 12+ years of experience, working remotely from Egypt with clients worldwide. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1) ACCOUNTING & FINANCIAL ADVISORY ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ What I do: Bookkeeping, bank reconciliation, monthly and year-end close Financial statements and audit-ready files prepared for your external auditors Accounting system design and chart of accounts Budgeting, forecasting and cash flow planning Internal controls and fractional CFO support Tax compliance: ZATCA (KSA), UAE VAT, Egypt ETA Pain points I solve: Your books are months behind, so you run the business blind Auditors keep chasing missing documents, and audit time and fees climb Year-end becomes a scramble of adjustments and restated numbers Profit looks healthy on paper, but cash is always short Budgets live in Excel and are never compared to actuals Tax filings are rushed, and penalties follow Lenders, investors or partners ask for reports you can't produce with confidence ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 2) AUDIT & ASSURANCE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I review your books with an auditor's eye and give you reasonable assurance that your numbers can be trusted: Testing of ledgers, bank, receivables, payables, inventory and payroll against supporting documents Detection of errors, misstatements and control gaps A clear findings report with practical fixes Independent check of balances after an ERP migration Pain points I solve: You only find out your books are wrong when the auditor does Your bookkeeper's work has never been independently checked A loan, sale or investor asks "can we trust these numbers?" and you can't answer ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 3) ODOO ERP & TECHNO-FUNCTIONAL CONSULTING ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Why a techno-functional consultant is your biggest asset: developers build what the spec says. I make sure the spec is right first, review the code, catch bugs before they reach your ledger, and own the gap between your accountant, vendor and IT team. I don't code, I review code. You get fewer change requests, faster go-live, and numbers an auditor can trust. Every module problem lands in your accounts: → ACCOUNTING: wrong account mapping and taxes = financials you can't present to auditors or banks → INVENTORY: stock doesn't match the GL = misstated cost of sales and profit → SALES: orders, deliveries and invoices out of sync = revenue cut-off errors and late collections → PURCHASING: no approvals or three-way match = duplicate payments and unrecorded liabilities → CRM: a guessed pipeline = unreliable forecasts and budgets → HR & PAYROLL: manual attendance = payroll errors and wrong accruals (ZKTeco integration) → MANUFACTURING: wrong BOM and routing costs = fictional margins and bad pricing → PROJECTS & TIMESHEETS: unbilled hours = lost revenue and wrong WIP → MARKETING: untracked spend = no ROI visibility On top of that, I add modules and workflows that improve finance and cash flow: aging, collections follow-up, budget vs actual, cash forecasts and approvals. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ STUCK BETWEEN ERPs? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Comparing platforms, unhappy with your current one, or planning a migration (QuickBooks and others)? My advice is ERP-agnostic.
