Jakub has been working intensively with Odoo since 2017, when he started working as a project manager of Odoo implementations in Jakarta, Indonesia. Since then, dozens of implementations of various sizes have passed under his hands in more than 10 countries in Europe, Asia and the American continent. Jakub knows Odoo modules and their possible configuration by heart and can find solutions even for very demanding cases.


While Odoo's accounting application is very powerful, it is not prepared to fully handle the accounting of every country out of the box.

If you are an implementation partner in a country that is less lucky, visit this talk, where you will learn:
- How to assess what accounting workflows and datasets are available in default Odoo for your country
- How to plan and design improvements to cover missing parts
- What to keep in mind when developing and maintaining an accounting localization of your own

Sometimes, it falls to us, the Odoo Community to make sure Odoo can fully thrive in our countries, and this talk aims to show implementation partners how to do so, and to help them not be afraid of such a daunting challenge.

Key learning
- Journey of development of accounting localization (I was involved in development both Vietnamese and Czech accounting localization from a partner's side)
- How to handle this process, possible risks and challenges and how to mitigate them

Target audience + value
- For any Odoo implementation partner, who is based in countries without full out-of-the-box accounting localization, this should help them decide if this is a step they want to take and if yes, how to approach the development of full accounting localization
