Affordable by design
An accounting department, without building one.
Hiring accountants means salaries, pension, software, training and cover for leave. EBO Hisab gives you a supervised team, the software and a fixed monthly fee set by your volume, so you pay for the work your business actually has.
A team, not a person
A named bookkeeper, a back-up and a supervising accountant who reviews every month.
Software included
EBO ERP, the client portal and, where you need it, EBO POS or e-invoicing, in the fee.
Always reconciled
Bank, Telebirr, M-Pesa and cash agree with your books every month, with every difference explained.
Never late
Returns ready at least five business days before the deadline. If we miss it, the penalty is ours.
How it works
From a photo of a receipt to a return ready to file.
Every document gets a reference number the moment it arrives, so nothing is lost, mixed up or left for the last day of the month. You never need to approve anything.
- Step 1
You send
Photos, PDFs or spreadsheets, by the portal, email or pick-up.
- Step 2
We number it
Each document gets an ID and opens a job for your bookkeeper, automatically.
- Step 3
We record
Sales, purchases, expenses, payroll and stock go into EBO ERP.
- Step 4
We reconcile
Bank, mobile money and cash are matched line by line.
- Step 5
We review
A supervising accountant checks and locks the month.
- Step 6
You receive
Reports and ready-to-file returns by the 15th, live all month.
Where it ends: your books, ready for
You file and pay with your own e-tax login. Your certified accountant or auditor signs.
Coordinated document support
However you keep your documents, we take it from there.
Upload directly, email, share a folder, connect your software or hand us the paper. Every route lands in the same place: your company file on EBO ERP, numbered and traceable.
Chat with our team
Ask about a document or a deadline in the chat box on this site.
Direct upload

Email and shared folders

Safe with us
Your books, with people you can name.

- Only your team. Our own staff, on EBO devices, see only the clients assigned to them.
- Every access logged. See in your portal who can open your books and what was downloaded.
- Security review with INSA. EBO ERP has been submitted to the Information Network Security Administration for assessment. We publish the result the day it is issued.
Pricing
Pay for your volume, not for a department.
Your tier depends on how many sales and purchase documents you have in an average month. Every tier gets complete bookkeeping from A to Z; busier businesses simply send documents more often.
Sales through EBO POS or e-invoicing count as one document per trading day.
Monthly fees in Ethiopian birr, excluding 15% VAT. Every tier includes EBO software, bookkeeping, bank and mobile-money reconciliation, ready-to-file returns, live reports and year-end records.
Hisab Signature
For those who want more than complete.
Every tier already does the whole job. Signature adds senior attention, presence and convenience on top of any tier, for owners, boards and finance teams who value their time.
Prior-year and migration projects quoted separately, with a Signature discount.

Questions
Questions business owners ask
Can I see my figures before the 15th?
Yes. Your books are live in the portal every day. The 15th is when the month is closed, reviewed and your returns are ready to file.
Do I need to approve your work?
No. You send documents and we deliver. You can ask questions at any time through the portal or the chat box on this site.
Do you file my returns with the revenue bureau?
We prepare every return ready to file, with the amount to pay and a filing guide. You submit it with your own e-tax login and pay from your own account; our staff can sit with you while you file.
Who signs my financial statements?
Your own certified accountant or auditor. We hand them complete year-end records and read-only access to your books.
My past years are a mess. Can you fix them?
Yes. We can organise and enter up to five prior years for an audit, or migrate your history from other software, at a fixed price agreed before we start.
Do I need to buy EBO software?
No. EBO ERP, the portal and, where you need them, EBO POS or e-invoicing are included. If you already use other software, we connect to it.
