What does the future hold for Odoo Accounting?
In this final episode of the series, we shift our focus to what’s coming next. With Odoo 19 on the horizon, there are exciting developments ahead — from advanced AI and deeper automation, to an ever more integrated accounting platform.
The future of accounting, our experts agree, is about smart automation that reduces wasted time and sharpens focus where it matters.
“AI is going to be a major part of the Odoo 19 roadmap.
Automation vs. human insight
With OCR, Peppol and AI, repetitive accounting tasks are disappearing. But does that mean accountants are becoming obsolete? Not at all. Their role is simply evolving.
“If we’re 100% sure something doesn’t need to be checked — just book it. Telenet or Proximus invoices? They’re always the same. Don’t waste time on those.”
“The question isn’t whether automation will happen — it’s where the limit lies. That’s where the accountant’s value comes in.”
Refinement & roadmap: how user feedback drives development
Many of the features in Odoo start with conversations — with users, partners, and real-world accountants. Feedback is gathered, filtered, and turned into practical improvements.
“I always have a long list based on conversations. The biggest differences are often in the small details. They don’t make it into a keynote, but they do improve the end-user experience.”
The result? A roadmap that’s not just visionary, but grounded in what users truly need.
Company culture: the engine behind innovation
In the second half of the episode, the focus shifts to culture — how Odoo and Dynapps each foster innovation in their own way. What both companies share is a no-nonsense mindset and a strong belief in collaboration and ownership.
“If you’re choosing between software tools and Odoo is just about equal to another, or even slightly behind — ask yourself: where will they be in five years?”
“A company that innovates with everyone pulling in the same direction moves at a completely different speed.”
Conclusion
The future of accounting is fast, smart, and automated — but still very human.
And with Odoo leading the way, businesses have the opportunity to stay ahead of the curve, instead of catching up to it.
