Designed for local reality

Bookkeeping that matches how business is done in Ethiopia

Many Ethiopian businesses start with a spreadsheet, a mobile-money statement and a book of handwritten invoices. That becomes hard to control once staff, stock, locations and customers grow.

Braynix Books creates one record across sales, purchases, payments and accounting, so the owner sees the business clearly and the accountant receives books that already add up.

  • Keep your books in ETB, and trade in other currencies when you need to
  • Bring cash, mobile money and bank activity together
  • Pay staff with Income Tax and Pension calculated for you
  • Keep a structured chart of accounts and full audit history
  • Give authorised team members role-based access
Common questions

Bookkeeping software in Ethiopia: what businesses ask

What is the best bookkeeping software for a small business in Ethiopia?

The right system for a Ethiopian small business should keep its books in ETB, produce professional invoices, record expenses and supplier bills, organise cash, bank and mobile-money takings together, calculate Income Tax and Pension on a payslip, track stock where the business holds any, and produce a profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow an accountant can review. Braynix Books does all of these in one place, and starts with a setup shaped to the trade — a shop, a clinic, a restaurant or a haulier — rather than an empty ledger. There is a 30-day free trial and no credit card is required.

Which countries does Braynix Books work in?

Braynix Books is global. It keeps books in any currency and at any tax rate, so a business anywhere can use it. Payroll rules are built in for 13 countries — Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana, Rwanda, Ethiopia, the United States, the United Kingdom, India, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia — and each has its own page. Anywhere else, payroll still runs but falls back to a generic calculation rather than that country's statutory law. The one direct tax-authority integration is Kenya's KRA eTIMS.

Does Braynix Books calculate Ethiopia payroll deductions?

Yes. Ethiopia is one of the countries whose statutory deductions are implemented directly, so a payslip shows Income Tax and Pension calculated from the employee's pay, and the employee record carries a TIN and the national pension scheme number. The rates are maintained in the product and can be updated when the law changes.

Can Braynix Books handle VAT and tax records in Ethiopia?

Braynix Books keeps VAT-rated invoices and purchases and produces a tax summary you can use when preparing a return for the Ethiopian Ministry of Revenues. It does not submit returns on your behalf, and it is not connected to any Ethiopia e-invoicing service — the direct tax-authority integration in the product is Kenya's KRA eTIMS. Each business stays responsible for confirming its own obligations.

Does Braynix Books work on a phone in Ethiopia?

Yes. It is a web application that runs on desktop, Android and iPhone, so an owner can check the day's takings from anywhere while a bookkeeper works on the same records. Two people can work at the same time and changes sync.
