Project Overview
Cloud Accounting is a powerful yet affordable enterprise software built to simplify accounting for small businesses and professionals. With 9 specialists over 24 sprints in 8 months, our dedicated development team created a secure, user-friendly platform that lets users manage transactions, vendors, payroll, and taxes—all on their own servers. What began in Node.js evolved into a scalable Java-based solution. This complex project inspired us to adopt Agile, Scrum, and Definition of Done to handle future operations with discipline.
About Product
Cloud Accounting is a modern accounting software built to handle complex financial operations with ease. It supports everything from transactions and payroll to sales tracking, taxes, and multi-vendor management. Designed for flexibility and security, it allows users to host sensitive financial data on their own servers. We researched top global accounting tools, interviewed real users, and crafted intuitive solutions based on their needs. Our team focused on creating an adaptable, easy-to-use experience powered by technologies like Java, NestJS, and MongoDB, turning a traditionally tedious task into a smooth digital workflow.
Client Painpoints
High Cost
Most accounting software was too expensive for small businesses. The client needed a low-cost option that still did everything they needed.
No Control Over Data
Other tools stored financial data on outside servers. The client wanted to keep all their data safe on their own servers.
Hard to Use
Many existing systems were confusing and difficult to learn. The client wanted something simple and easy for anyone to use.
Couldn’t Grow with the Business
Older software didn’t allow changes or new features. The client needed a system that could grow and change as their business did.
Our Solution
Built a low-cost accounting platform using open-source technologies, keeping costs down without losing quality.
Gave full control over data by allowing the software to run on the client’s own servers, keeping financial info safe and private.
Created a clean, simple design so users could easily manage payroll, transactions, taxes, and vendors without confusion.
Used strong technologies like Java, NestJS, and MongoDB to make the system fast, stable, and ready to grow.
Added features based on real user needs by doing interviews, research, and testing, making sure the software worked the way people expected.
Important Takeaways
While the client originally suggested using Node.js, our team recommended Java from the start, and for good reason. We knew the project would grow in size and complexity, and Java offered the performance, scalability, and structure needed to handle it. Choosing Java early on helped us avoid major roadblocks later. This experience showed us how important it is to guide clients with the right tech decisions and to plan ahead for long-term success from the very beginning.
