Businesses that run on what we built
Direct answer
Heliconia implements Odoo Accounting and the financial workflows around it (invoicing, receivables and payables, expenses, payments, multi-company and multi-currency structures, approvals and management reporting) connected to the sales, purchasing, inventory, subscription and payroll data that generates the numbers. For fintech products, we engineer the platform itself: payment workflows, wallets, commissions and reporting on Odoo with Flutter and Next.js front ends.
Finance teams inherit data from everywhere: orders, purchases, stock movements, subscriptions, payroll, gateways and banks. When those live in separate systems, closing the month is reconciliation by hand. When they live in Odoo, the ledger is a consequence of operations (every invoice, payment and stock valuation posts itself) and the finance team’s work becomes control and insight rather than data entry.
Finance challenges
Sales, purchasing, inventory, payroll and external platforms each holding part of the truth.
Bank statements, gateway settlements and invoices matched by hand, every month.
Several companies, currencies, tax regimes and fiscal rules that must consolidate, and stay separately compliant.
Management wants margins by product, customer, island or agent, not just a trial balance.
Purchase, expense and payment approvals that are enforced by the system, not by email.
Banks, payment gateways, remittance partners, payroll and tax systems connected reliably.
The finance workflow
Every operational flow ends in accounting. The finance workflow is what happens after it lands.
Step 01
Quotations, orders, POS and subscriptions generate invoices and receivables.
Step 02
Purchase orders and vendor bills with three-way matching.
Step 03
Employee expenses submitted, approved and reimbursed.
Step 04
Stock valuation and cost of goods posted automatically.
Step 05
Payslips and payroll journals per entity and country.
Step 06
Journals, taxes, fiscal positions and multi-currency entries per company.
Step 07
Bank feeds, gateway settlements and remittance payouts matched to invoices and payments.
Step 08
Statutory reports plus the operational reports management actually reads: commissions, collections, margins.
Step 09
Consolidated views across entities and currencies, on time.

Evidence
Accounting and financial reporting for a recurring-services company, a four-entity retail group with separate fiscal rules and currencies, and two fintech platforms.
Cloud managed services
Accounting, HR and payroll, projects and timesheets, subscriptions, helpdesk and CRM on Odoo 18 Enterprise, with custom modules migrated from earlier versions and financial reporting built for a recurring-services business.
Retail & wholesale, duty-free
Four Caribbean island entities (each with its own payroll law, currency, fiscal rules and eCommerce site) unified on one Odoo 16 Enterprise platform with a shared core and per-island customization packages.
FinTech: digital payments & remittance
A financial-services platform for overseas Filipino workers (contributions, bills, mobile load, instalment shopping) where a Heliconia team of Odoo, Flutter and Next.js developers ships payment, agent, employer, commission and reporting features while keeping live transactions running.
HRTech / FinTech: workforce payments
Payroll, timekeeping, leave and e-wallet features for agencies and employers: Heliconia Next.js developers embedded in the product team migrated the app to the App Router, rebuilt authentication, built HRIS, timekeeper, face-recognition and e-wallet interfaces and integrated Google Maps location features across sprint releases.
Implementation approach
Entities, currencies, tax regimes, chart of accounts, approval rules, reporting needs, the systems feeding the ledger.
Company structure in Odoo, fiscal localisations, journals, analytic structure, what's custom, what integrates.
Accounting configured. Custom reports, approvals and integrations developed and tested with real transactions.
Balances, open items and history migrated and reconciled with the outgoing system.
A period run in both systems where the risk justifies it. Then cut-over at a period boundary.
First month-end and year-end closes supported. Reports refined with the finance team.
