Challenges Faced
As a young startup with no existing back-office structure, RAIZIN faced the challenge of scaling its operations while ensuring financial compliance and automation:
- No accounting system was in place.
- The front-end platform collected donations in both fiat and crypto, but lacked backend integration.
- Crypto yields needed to be tracked in fiat currency for legal and tax purposes.
- The team required automated journal entries to remain lean and compliant with accounting standards.
Odoo Implementation
We implemented a custom Odoo Community backend connected via API to RAIZIN’s proprietary fundraising front end.
- Core Modules Used: Accounting, Invoicing, Custom Module for Asset Valuation
-
Custom Integration:
- A connector was developed in collaboration with RAIZIN’s in-house developers.
- Each donation or crypto yield automatically triggers journal entries in Odoo.
- Multi-currency management is used to handle both crypto and fiat values.
-
Crypto Yield Management:
- Automated revaluation of assets using exchange rates from multiple APIs (e.g., CoinGecko, Binance).
- Daily asset valuation updates reflected in the general ledger.
-
Automation & Auditability:
- All entries are traceable to the original transaction from the front-end.
- Odoo manages both unrealized and realized gains/losses from asset appreciation.
Version: Odoo Community 16
Hosting: Odoo on-premise, behind the client’s cloud-based API gateway
Business Benefits
Operational Efficiency
- No manual intervention is needed from the accounting team for donations or asset yields—everything flows automatically from the front end to legal books.
Compliance & Transparency
- All financial transactions are traceable and compliant with accounting standards, including IFRS for crypto valuation.
Scalability
- The infrastructure allows RAIZIN to onboard new funding channels or currencies without redesigning the backend.
