Eight accounting and ERP systems used by Lebanese companies, compared on what matters here: LBP and USD side by side, Ministry of Finance VAT, and support from a team in Lebanon.
The shortlist
by Odoo, implemented in Lebanon by AzkaTech, Odoo Gold Partner
Odoo Accounting runs inside a complete ERP, so sales, purchasing, inventory, point of sale and payroll post their own entries without imports. For Lebanese companies, AzkaTech adds a Lebanese chart of accounts, 11% VAT reports prepared for the Ministry of Finance, USD and LBP ledgers with daily rates and period-end revaluation, and fiscal stamps on documents through our own app. Clients running it today include Hallab 1881, Debbas Group, Sleep Comfort, Wakilni and Toy Market Group.
Best for: Growing trading, retail, food and beverage, distribution and manufacturing companies that want one system for the whole business.

NetSuite is Oracle’s cloud ERP, built for companies with several subsidiaries, currencies and reporting lines. Consolidation across entities, intercompany entries and multi-book accounting are its strengths. Lebanese VAT and the USD/LBP setup are configured during implementation.
Best for: Groups with subsidiaries in several countries that need consolidated reporting from day one.

Best for: FMCG and food distributors with van sales and fleets.
by Omega Software SAL, Jisr El Wati
Omega is best known in hospitality and retail. Its point of sale lets cashiers take USD and LBP at the day’s rate, handles cards, cheques and wallets, and calculates VAT automatically.

Quick guide
FAQ
There is no single answer for every company. For businesses that want accounting, sales, stock and payroll in one system with Lebanese VAT and USD/LBP built in, Odoo is the strongest all-round choice in 2026. Groups with subsidiaries abroad often fit NetSuite better, while restaurants and small shops may prefer a local point-of-sale-led system such as Omega or Brain.
Odoo Community is free and open source and includes invoicing, bills and payments. It does not include Lebanese VAT reports, bank reconciliation tools or the full financial reports, so most companies use Odoo Enterprise with a local partner for those.
Lebanese VAT is 11%. Odoo set up by AzkaTech, Potech, Socrate Platinum, Omega and ACTS all state support for Lebanese VAT reporting. Whatever you choose, ask for a sample VAT report from a live client before signing.
Cloud removes server costs and works from anywhere, which helps during power and connectivity problems. On-premise keeps data in your office but needs reliable backups. Odoo is one of the few options that offers both, and lets you move between them later.
Most local vendors quote per project. Odoo is licensed per user per month and NetSuite by annual subscription, and both need implementation on top. Budget for the licence, the setup and the first year of support, not the licence alone.
