Accounting & ERP we built — and run ourselves every day
A four-language chart of accounts, an append-only multicurrency ledger, an expense approval workflow and AI invoice reading — the same system we close our own books with every day. We build this for your company too.
The two demos below (ledger/trial-balance and approval workflow) run on entirely made-up data. The third one is different: you upload your own real file and our real internal AI assistant reads it.
Problem
Before we built this system
A ledger scattered across currencies
Sales in dollars, rent in dinar, advertising in toman — without one unified ledger, closing the books gets slower and more error-prone every month.
Expenses with no approval trail
How many people have to sign off before an employee's expense claim reaches the accountant? Without a defined workflow, accountability disappears too.
Manually typing invoices
Every paper invoice means minutes of line-by-line typing and the risk of a mistyped number — across hundreds of invoices a month, that time adds up.
Solution
What we built
A multicurrency ledger, unified code
Every document keeps its original amount; the trial balance is computed live against the Iraqi Unified Accounting System code, not just a single final number.
A defined approval workflow
Submit → manager approval → accountant finalization → payment; at every moment it's clear who's responsible and until when the employee can still edit it.
AI invoice reading
Upload an invoice or receipt; line items, amount and currency are extracted automatically — the same path our own internal expense form uses.
Live demo
Try it yourself
All three demos below run on this system's real code, not a static screenshot.
Upload an invoice and read it with AI
Drop your own invoice or receipt file, or try a sample.
Capped at 3 uploads per hour per visitor, 20 MB max; the file is deleted immediately after reading and is never connected to Barmaan's real accounting ledger.
Ledger & unified trial balance
Six made-up documents across three currencies; the real unified trial-balance function runs right here on whatever you pick.
Expense approval workflow
Switch roles and move a sample expense claim through the real approval workflow.
What always stays internal
Barmaan's real accounting ledger — actual customer/supplier names, real amounts, balance-sheet reports — is never published here or on any other public page. Every number you see here is either entirely made up, or a file you just uploaded yourself and that gets deleted immediately.
Modules
Under the hood — 26 admin sub-routes
What our own accounting team opens every day; the evidence column points straight at the code path.
| Module | Evidence | Access |
|---|---|---|
Four-language chart of accounts Group/general/detail levels with Persian/English/Arabic/Kurdish titles and the Iraqi unified code. | src/lib/accounting/coa.ts, coa-i18n.ts | Try it above |
Documents & ledger Append-only documents; no record is edited after posting, only a fresh correcting document. | src/models/Accounting.ts (AccTransaction), admin/accounting/docs, /vouchers | Try it above |
Multicurrency Dollar, Iraqi dinar, toman and more; the original entered amount is always kept, not just a dollar equivalent. | accountingSample.ts (fixed fixture rates) + buildUnifiedTrialBalance | Try it above |
Sales documents Invoice/proforma totals computed from the same engine, no manual rounding. | src/lib/accounting/sales/docTotals.ts (saleTotals, docTotals — pure) | Internal only |
Petty cash Petty cash balance tracked separately per branch/holder. | src/lib/accounting/petty/compute.ts (pettyBalances), admin/accounting/petty | Internal only |
Expense approval workflow Submit → approve → finalize → pay, with an automatic edit lock after every stage. | src/lib/accounting/expenseWorkflow.ts (wfEntry, selfEditable) | Try it above |
Treasury & cheques Incoming/outgoing cheques with cleared/bounced status. | src/models/Accounting.ts (AccCheque), admin/accounting/treasury, /cheques | Internal only |
Payroll & attendance Payroll calculation and staff attendance tracking. | src/lib/accounting/hr/{payroll,attendance}.ts | Internal only |
Inventory & shipments Stock and shipments synced with the storefront — covered in depth on the separate store-platform page. | src/lib/accounting/shopSync.ts, admin/accounting/inventory, /shipments | Internal only |
AI invoice reading The same assistant you tried above is used inside our own internal expense form. | src/lib/ai/invoice.ts (internal form) + src/lib/ai/invoiceDemo.ts (this demo) | Try it above |
Architecture
Why we built it this way
Three decisions that directly affect correctness and trust.
Append-only ledger
No document is ever deleted or overwritten; a correction is a fresh correcting document, so the full history stays traceable.
Original amount, not just dollars
Every document keeps the amount as entered, in its own currency; conversion to dollars is for reporting only, never a replacement for the data.
Chart of accounts, version 3
Group/general/detail levels plus the Iraqi unified code — the same standard our own accountant works with every day.
We build this for you too
