What we build

Software shaped around Ethiopian rules and Ethiopian workflows — not adapted from a template built for somewhere else.

Tax & compliance software

Tools that handle VAT, withholding, and Ministry of Revenue filings the way they actually need to be done, without manual rework at month-end.

  • VAT and withholding calculations
  • Filing-ready output
  • Built around current proclamations

Payroll systems

Payroll built around Ethiopian tax brackets and pension rules from the ground up, so every run is correct without a workaround.

  • Current tax bracket updates
  • Pension and employee records
  • Payslips and reporting

Business operations tools

Costing, approvals, and reconciliation systems shaped around how a specific business runs — not a generic workflow.

  • Costing and inventory logic
  • Approval workflows
  • Reconciliation and reporting

How we advise

Consulting from people who have run the numbers themselves, not just recommended a system and left.

ERP implementation

Choosing and configuring the right system for the business you actually have, then making sure it holds up once real transactions start moving through it.

Financial feasibility

Modeling new ventures, expansions, and capital decisions before money moves — with assumptions you can defend to a bank or a board.

Systems & compliance review

An honest look at how finance operations run today, where the gaps are, and what it takes to close them.

Finova is built by people who have closed the books, not just designed the dashboard. That means the software and the advice come from the same place: years spent inside the actual finance operations of Ethiopian businesses, across industries with very different rules of the road.

We don't separate the systems work from the accounting work. A payroll tool is only as good as its grasp of the proclamation behind it. A piece of consulting advice is only useful if someone has actually implemented it before. Finova keeps both close together, on purpose.
