dowola
A SYSCOHADA-native financial core for OHADA companies and their accountants. Operational activity writes directly into one ledger — built today as an accounting system and designed to become the financial foundation of a broader ERP.
Context
Companies and accounting firms often work from different versions of the same financial reality. Invoices, payments and expenses happen inside the business; the books are reconstructed elsewhere.
Dowola starts from a different premise: the operation and its accounting record should belong to the same system.
The journal is the product.
Everything else writes into it.
The system
Each company starts with its SYSCOHADA chart and one ledger. Finalized invoices, payments, expenses and corrections post into that ledger as they happen.
Different roles change what people can see and do, not the underlying financial record. The company and its accountant work from the same books.
Operation
The operation writes the books.
Finalize a facture and the corresponding SYSCOHADA entries are posted automatically. Record the payment and the ledger moves again.
The person issuing the invoice does not recreate the transaction later in the books. The accounting engine validates the entry and refuses an unbalanced posting.
01 — From the facture to the journal
Follow one sale from the invoice into the Grand Livre.
Cabinet
The cabinet works the same ledger.
The expert-comptable works across a portfolio of companies. Opening one does not create another accounting file — it opens the same company data with the accountant’s permissions and workflow.
The facture from the first journey is already there: same operation, same ledger, different workspace.
02 — The cabinet works the same ledger
Open the same company from the cabinet workspace and find the operation already in its books.
-
One ledger
Operational activity posts through the same accounting engine. Unbalanced entries do not write.
-
SYSCOHADA-native
The chart of accounts and accounting logic live in the system rather than being mapped after export.
-
Two workspaces
Companies and cabinets work from the same financial record through different permissions and workflows.
-
Intangibilité
Finalized invoices are locked. Corrections happen through an avoir while the source document remains attached.
Result
Dowola’s accounting core is usable today: transactions can be issued, paid, corrected and read through the same SYSCOHADA ledger by both the company and its accountant.
That ledger is also the foundation of the broader ERP. As new operational modules are added, they write into the same financial core rather than creating another system beside it.
