Finance & tax

The numbers regulators ask for — prepared from work, not spreadsheets.

Redfox finance is not a second ledger you copy into at month-end. It is the sales, purchases, payments, and cash the business already records — organized into the periods, registers, and reports Ethiopia's tax system expects.

Monthly closes

The workflow

From daily work to closed period.

Nothing in Redfox finance is typed twice. The close is an act of organization and validation — not a month of re-entry.

  1. 01

    Record daily work

    Sales, purchases, payments, and cashbook entries are the raw material of every close.

  2. 02

    Reconcile

    Cash and bank statements are matched to the books, with outstanding items reviewed.

  3. 03

    Prepare obligations

    VAT, TOT, and withholding are drawn from registers with evidence behind each line.

  4. 04

    Close the period

    Monthly, quarterly, and yearly closes produce the reports the business and regulators ask for.

  5. 05

    Validate

    The audit layer questions balances and flags mismatches before anything is filed.

  6. 06

    Review & decide

    Management reads numbers that came from work, not from a spreadsheet someone rebuilt.

Ethiopian compliance

Built around VAT, TOT, withholding, and the periods that matter.

Redfox is designed in Ethiopia, for Ethiopian tax and reporting practice. Not as an afterthought — as the starting point.

The accountant doesn't rebuild the month. The month was already built — it just needs to be reviewed.

Connections

Finance is the honest account of everything else.

Because the money trail comes from sales, purchases, imports, service, and cashflow, a finance close in Redfox is a review of reality — not a parallel universe of numbers.

  • Sales and purchases flow in

    Every invoice and payment carries its own tax treatment — no end-of-month copying.

  • Imports bring cost basis

    Landed cost becomes the purchase value finance reports against.

  • Cashbook ties to bank

    Daily cashbook and bank statements reconcile to the same balances.

  • Audit validates before filing

    Period checks flag mismatches while there is still time to fix them.

Common questions

What Redfox is — and what it does.

Still have a question?

Read the full module guide or talk to the team — we are happy to walk through how Redfox would fit your workflows.

Does Redfox handle VAT, TOT, and withholding?

Yes. VAT purchase and sales registers, TOT (turnover tax), and withholding are drawn from source records — every line traces back to an invoice or a payment, so the evidence is behind the number.

Can Redfox produce monthly, quarterly, and yearly closes?

Yes. Period closure workflows produce the summaries Ethiopian businesses and the tax office ask for, tied to source records rather than rebuilt in Excel.

Is finance connected to sales and purchases?

Finance is not a separate ledger you copy into — it is the same sales, purchases, and payments the business already records, organized into periods and registers.

Does Redfox include payroll?

Yes — salary records, allowances, deductions, and payroll registers are part of the finance module, kept simple and auditable.

Can my accountant export the numbers?

Reports print and export directly from source records, with date-range controls and filtered views — no re-adding in a spreadsheet.

Bring a real month of sales and purchases. We'll show you the registers, the VAT position, and the close — with your own numbers.
