Finance & Accounting in Odoo 19: Intelligent Automation and Compliance Readiness for Latvian Enterprises

Why Finance & Accounting Matter in Digital Transformation

Finance and accounting are the backbone of every successful organisation. They ensure that decisions are based on facts, not assumptions, and that growth happens with control. Yet, many companies in Latvia still rely on fragmented systems and manual reporting, making compliance time-consuming and prone to error.

With the release of Odoo 19, finance teams can finally bridge the gap between automation, compliance, and strategic insight. The new version brings intelligent tools powered by AI, stronger localisation features, and an intuitive user experience — transforming accounting from a back-office function into a strategic partner for decision-making.

From Transactional to Intelligent: Odoo 19’s AI-Driven Accounting Features

Odoo 19 introduces an era of intelligent accounting. The system now learns from user behaviour to automate repetitive tasks and suggest the next logical actions.

  • Smart bank reconciliation: Odoo’s new reconciliation engine analyses transaction history, learns from past matches, and automatically proposes links between bank lines and accounting entries.

  • Automated data capture: Bills, receipts, and vendor documents can be processed using the improved OCR engine, converting scanned data directly into accounting entries with minimal validation.

  • AI-assisted insights: With the new Odoo AI Agent, accountants can ask natural-language questions like “Show me unpaid supplier invoices this month” or “What’s our cash flow trend for Q3?” and receive instant, data-driven responses.
  • Enhanced dashboards: Customisable KPI widgets and analytical views turn the finance app into a real-time performance centre.

The result is a shift from manual data entry to strategic financial management, empowering teams to focus on what matters — forecasting, profitability, and compliance.

Compliance & Localisation: Staying Audit-Able and Global-Ready

Finance leaders face increasing regulatory complexity — from local tax obligations to international standards. Odoo 19 helps companies stay compliant without extra spreadsheets or manual exports.

  • Automated tax returns: The accounting app now supports integrated tax declaration flows, helping users file reports on time and verify them with built-in validation rules.

  • Localisation packs: Odoo continues to expand its list of certified country localisations, including predefined charts of accounts, tax codes, and fiscal positions for each jurisdiction.
  • Audit trail & traceability: Every transaction now includes improved tracking metadata, ensuring transparency for auditors and regulators.
  • Multi-company & multi-currency management: Cross-border operations are easier than ever, with consolidated reporting, currency revaluation tools, and intercompany transaction automation.

For Latvian companies, compliance is further strengthened by local accounting modules developed by Midis, ensuring alignment with national VAT rules, banking formats, and electronic invoicing standards.

Operational Efficiency & Finance-Team Empowerment

Beyond compliance, Odoo 19 enhances day-to-day finance operations with speed and clarity.

  • Faster period closing: Automated reconciliation and validation reduce the month-end closing process from days to hours.
  • Smart expense management: Mobile expense capture, employee cards, and automated accounting entries simplify reimbursements and internal controls.
  • Real-time reporting: Dashboards and drill-down analytics allow management to monitor profitability, liquidity, and outstanding receivables in seconds.
  • Scalable collaboration: With role-based permissions and integrated communication tools, CFOs, accountants, and department heads can collaborate directly inside Odoo.

Finance teams become proactive rather than reactive, with data-driven insights at their fingertips.
