Finance built for the coffee business — not generic ERP finance

Invoicing, expenses, multi-currency, tax calendar — all tuned for how coffee export actually moves money. ETB advances to farmers, USD/EUR receivables from buyers, NBE forex reporting.

01 · Context

Why coffee finance is different

Generic accounting software expects you to invoice in one currency, pay in that same currency, and file simple monthly VAT. Coffee export finance involves cash advances to smallholders months before harvest, invoicing in USD or EUR, tax reporting in ETB, bank FX on every conversion, and NBE reporting on every outbound transfer. BunnaLink Finance models this directly instead of forcing you to bend a generic ERP into shape.

04 · Questions

Gaaffilee yeroo baayyee

Does it integrate with our bank?
Most Ethiopian banks provide CSV statements that import directly. Several offer API integration on Enterprise plans (ask for the current list). The work of reconciliation is done the same way either way.
How does multi-currency actually work day-to-day?
Every transaction records in its natural currency (USD invoice, ETB grower payment) and in ETB equivalent at rate-of-day. Reports can be run in any currency. FX gains/losses are calculated when realized (e.g., when you convert USD receivable to ETB in your bank).
Can we track cash advances to individual producers?
Yes. Advances are tied to the producer record with expected repayment date and pricing formula. When the producer delivers cherry, the advance is offset against the delivery value. Running balance per producer is always visible.
Does it generate NBE reports for FX transactions?
Yes. Every inbound or outbound FX transaction logs the purpose code, reference number, and counterparty in the format NBE requires. Monthly NBE report is one click away.
