ደብተር በደመና — cloud bookkeeping for Ethiopia

Accounting that speaks birr, VAT and Ge'ez

BookFlow is the QuickBooks alternative built for Ethiopian service firms: double-entry books, automated VAT and withholding tax, dual-calendar reporting and online invoice payment — in one place, compliant by default.

Compliance is the product

Under the 2025 tax reform, every professional service provider must keep full Category A books. BookFlow makes that the easy path.

Real double-entry books

Every invoice, bill and payment posts balanced journal entries automatically. Trial balance, P&L and balance sheet — always current, always reconciled.

Built for Ethiopian tax law

15% VAT with input credits, 3% withholding (30% without a TIN), and monthly VAT & WHT return summaries aligned to Proclamation 1395/2025.

Cash-cap guardrails

The Br 50,000 cash rule is enforced at entry: receipts over the cap are blocked, payments are flagged non-deductible — before the penalty, not after.

Dual calendar, native

Ge'ez and Gregorian dates side by side everywhere. Reports run on Ethiopian months — the periods you actually file by.

Get paid online

Send every invoice with a pay-link. Customers pay via Chapa — Telebirr, CBE Birr, cards — and the receipt books itself into your ledger.

EIMS-ready invoicing

Invoice numbering, references and QR/IRN fields are designed for the Ministry of Revenues' e-invoicing system from day one.

From Peachtree to the cloud in an afternoon

Sign up, invite your accountant, and start invoicing with a chart of accounts pre-built for Ethiopian service firms. Your first 15 invoices each month are free.
