Questions you're probably asking.
Open source accounting software is built on a codebase you can inspect, host and extend, rather than a closed proprietary system. Binhex accounting runs on Odoo, so you keep control of your data and your stack while getting a full general ledger, reporting and AI automation inside one ERP.
Both. You can run it in the cloud managed by Binhex, or self-host it because it is open source. Either way you work in the same web interface from any device, and your books stay connected to the rest of your ERP.
Odoo uses OCR and AI to read scanned or PDF vendor bills and invoices and create draft accounting entries with the vendor, amounts, taxes and lines already filled in. It also suggests bank-reconciliation matches and learns from your corrections, so the more you use it the less manual entry you do. You review and approve rather than type.
Yes. You can import bank statements or connect bank feeds, and the system matches transactions to your records with smart reconciliation rules. Recurring patterns like bank fees or internal transfers can be recognized and posted automatically. Available bank connections depend on your country.
Yes. Manage multiple entities and currencies from one accounting system, with automatic exchange-rate updates and consolidated reporting across companies — no separate tools or manual consolidation spreadsheets.
Yes. Taxes are configurable per jurisdiction so they calculate automatically, and electronic invoicing is supported in many countries. Specific tax and compliance obligations vary by country, so we help you configure it for yours during setup. This is general information, not legal advice.
Yes. Accounting is the financial backbone of the ERP: invoices post straight to the ledger, employee expenses are booked automatically, and customer and vendor payments are matched during reconciliation. Everything posts to the same books in real time.
