🧠 Viewpoint: Odoo Perspective
⚠️ Disclaimer: AI-generated creative perspective inspired by Odoo’s vision.
Compliance should be default, not a project. E‑invoicing, SEPA, and VAT checks reduce risk while AI and cards cut manual friction—so teams focus on judgment, not data entry.
Closing tools align accountants and entrepreneurs with shared checklists, audit trails, and crisp reports.
