About Solafide - Simplified Accounting for OHADA Businesses
Solafide's mission to provide easy, efficient, and reliable accounting solutions for OHADA businesses.
Solafide emerged among the Top 25 Startups at NOWEDIF (out of 427 applicants) — Award Winner!
The Problem
Solafide Accounting was born out of a clear and pressing need: the gap between generic global accounting tools and the realities of doing business under the OHADA legal framework in Francophone Africa.
While software like SAGE, QuickBooks, and Excel have become household names, they were not built for OHADA-based economies. They lack the proper OHADA chart of accounts, do not generate statutory reports in required formats, and often require users to rely on Excel workarounds — a setup that leads to errors, delays, duplication of work, and constant back-and-forth with regulators.
Our co-founders, Tingom Ferdinand and Mme Charlotte, experienced this firsthand. As professionals in accounting and finance, they spent years implementing systems and helping businesses "make things work." But they saw a pattern: local businesses, no matter how well-meaning, were under-equipped with tools not designed for them. Something had to change.
Our Vision
Solafide was founded with a powerful mission:
To digitally transform African businesses — starting with OHADA — by delivering intuitive, intelligent, and locally compliant business software that rivals global standards.
We envisioned a system that didn't just check compliance boxes — but empowered entrepreneurs, accountants, and business leaders to focus on what truly matters: growth, sustainability, and strategic decision-making.
The Solution: Solafide Accounting
Solafide Accounting is more than just an accounting system. It’s a complete business management suite designed specifically for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) operating under the OHADA framework.
Here’s what sets us apart:
- Built-In OHADA Compliance: Ready-to-use OHADA chart of accounts, statutory balance sheets, income statements, and financial reports. Tools aligned with local tax authorities and auditor expectations.
- A Complete Business Operating System: AI-powered automation to reduce manual data entry and errors. Inventory management with barcode scanning, lot/batch expiry, and automated restocking logic. Integrated CRM, invoicing, quotes, purchase orders, expense tracking, multi-location warehousing, and user-level controls. Simple for business owners, powerful for accounting firms.
- Enterprise-Grade Data Architecture: Centralized Solafide Data Center as the single source of truth. All departments (accounting, inventory, HR, payroll, sales, support) operate from the same live database. Eliminates data silos, improves collaboration and compliance, ensures reliable, real-time reporting.
- User-Friendly & Accessible: Simple onboarding for staff. Mobile-responsive and cloud-first. Designed for entrepreneurs, not just accountants. Works online and offline (where required).
Built in Africa. Built for Africa. Aligned with the World.
