Assurance and technology firm

Accounting, tax and data solved together.

We help companies solve complex challenges with one team combining audit judgement, regulatory expertise and technology execution.

Concept

Accounting at the core. Technology where it matters.

From financial statement audit to the delivery of complex regulatory and digital solutions — we combine financial expertise, tax methodology and technology so that financial, tax and digital challenges work as a unified system.

Audit with technology perspective

An auditor who sees the system behind the numbers

Financial statements are not prepared in the final spreadsheet. They are produced by accounting systems, integrations, controls and data flows.

Our team is trained to understand how information originates, changes and flows into the financial statements.

Development aligned with accounting

Solutions built on an audit approach

We build solutions for accounting, compliance and data work based on verifiability, controllability and transparency.

Single financial context

A shared language for finance and technology teams

We align business processes, accounting methodology and IT solutions into a unified system of requirements — without losing meaning between finance and development.

Our approach
I · Lead

Conscious leadership

Projects are led by specialists who understand the task, business context and management expectations.

II · Logic

Big 4 experience

Experience in complex audit and consulting projects across industries sets our standard.

III · Build

Technology application

The combination of our own accounting and development teams gives LUCAS technological capabilities unusual for the market.

Services & solutions

Multiple capabilities.
One integrated approach.

We don't limit ourselves to individual services — we build solutions around the client's tasks in accounting, taxation and digital finance transformation.

Audit
Large companies · Mid-market · Public-interest
Mandatory financial statement audit

Mandatory financial statement audit for PIEs, large and medium-sized enterprises — with enhanced requirements for auditor independence, engagement quality, procedure documentation and auditor's report format.

SAF-T Connector

A proprietary, ERP-independent platform for extracting, mapping, validating and generating SAF-T UA XML files at scale.

Team

Go to SAF-T Connector page
Solution
ERP independence
Connects to any data source

Unlike solutions tied to one ERP, SAF-T Connector connects to SAP, 1C/BAS, Odoo, Microsoft Dynamics, and any custom systems, and can work with multiple sources simultaneously.

Performance · Python
Fast processing of large data

The algorithm is written in Python and processes high-volume transaction data significantly faster than most solutions built into accounting systems. A key advantage for companies with big data.

Validation
Series of data checks

Automatic XSD validation and additional check layers. Each error is explained in plain language. Result — SAF-T UA XML file generated per current STS structure and technical requirements, with preliminary data validation.

On-premise · Security
Data stays within client infrastructure

System installed on client server. No cloud uploads or third-party data transfers. The solution does not require internet access to operate.

Implementation
Turnkey · 3–4 months
Fully-managed implementation, not another internal project.

Client provides data access — then LUCAS works autonomously, discussing specific questions with the client. Typical implementation timeline — 3–4 months, depending on data sources, data quality, and client responsiveness.

Single point of accountability
One partner responsible for the entire project

When one vendor supplies the product and another implements it, responsibility often gets diluted. LUCAS provides a single accountability point for the solution, implementation and practical result.

Cost · TCO
Total cost of ownership — among the lowest on the market

LUCAS provides the full implementation cycle with competitive total cost of ownership. Our well-practiced implementation process means work moves faster, with a clear structure and lower total cost.

Migration from 1C / BAS to Odoo

Transition from Russian software to a modern ERP platform — with focus on accounting methodology, correct data migration and reporting compliance from day one.

Team

Our Odoo ERP migration team has deep practical experience implementing Odoo for companies in Ukraine, Europe and North America, with comprehensive understanding of system architecture, modules, integrations and business processes.

Why Odoo
Legal context · 2026
1C/BAS is becoming a risk factor

Restrictions on defined software products apply to government bodies, state enterprises and critical infrastructure (Cabinet Resolution №1335). For the private sector — restrictions through NSDC sanctions lists. Draft law №13505 provides for fines up to 2% of annual turnover. Using 1C/BAS may raise additional questions from banks, international financial institutions, donors and investors in compliance and cybersecurity assessments.

Odoo globally · Top 4
Global ERP market mainstream

Odoo coverage — 175 countries, 15 million users, doubling every year. Toyota, Nokia, Nestlé, Airbus, Danone — among clients. One subscription covers 30+ modules: accounting, CRM, warehouse, manufacturing, HR, and more.

TCO · Cost of ownership
70–80% lower cost than SAP or MS Dynamics

Transparent license covering all Odoo apps, no hidden fees. Thousands of ready-made connectors and a huge developer community instead of expensive custom development and single-vendor dependency.

Implementation with LUCAS
Finance-first · Methodology
Architecture built around accounting

Our teams understands local accounting and reporting requirements — so system design starts from the right accounting assumptions.

Auditor + developer
We eliminate the gap between accountants and developers

Misunderstandings between finance teams and developers are the main source of delays and overruns in any ERP project. Our accountants and developers work as one implementation team. This saves 30–40% of implementation cost.

2–6 months · 6 stages
Structured transition without accounting gap risk

Analysis → Architecture → Customisation → Data migration → Testing → Go-live. Parallel accounting until correctness confirmed. Team training and support transition included.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Statutory audit applies to public interest entities (PIEs), large and medium-sized enterprises under the Law of Ukraine "On Audit of Financial Statements." PIEs include public joint-stock companies, banks, insurers, and other categories. The audit is performed under International Standards on Auditing with an auditor's report issued accordingly. Learn more about audit →
An audit provides reasonable assurance and is performed under the full scope of ISA procedures with an auditor's report under ISA 700. A review under ISRE 2400 provides limited assurance, is performed faster and costs less — suitable when a full audit is not legally required but confirmation is needed for a bank or investor.
No. This is a direct prohibition under the International Code of Ethics and ISA. An auditor cannot examine financial statements that they themselves prepared — this violates the independence principle. LUCAS provides either audit or financial statement preparation for a single client, but not both services simultaneously.
SAF-T (Standard Audit File for Tax) is a standardized XML file for transmitting detailed accounting data to the State Tax Service. In Ukraine it is being introduced in phases, starting with large taxpayers. The file contains all business transactions, primary documents, and reference data — essentially the full accounting records in a structured format. Learn more about SAF-T Connector →
Built-in SAF-T modules in 1C/BAS or SAP work only with one system and have limited processing speed. If data is distributed across multiple systems, a separate solution is needed. SAF-T Connector by LUCAS connects to SAP, 1C/BAS, Odoo, Microsoft Dynamics, and any custom systems simultaneously.
Non-submission or late submission of SAF-T is treated as a tax law violation with penalties under the Tax Code. In addition to direct fines, the company risks increased STS scrutiny, more frequent audits, and VAT refund delays.
Companies conducting controlled transactions with related parties or residents of low-tax jurisdictions — subject to the value thresholds of Article 39 of the Tax Code of Ukraine. Verifying whether you fall under these requirements is the first step, and this is where mistakes most often occur. Learn more about TP →
The penalty for non-submission of the controlled transactions report is set as a percentage of undeclared transaction amounts. If the STS determines that prices do not comply with the arm's length principle — it will assess additional income tax plus penalty plus interest. Quality documentation with benchmark analysis is the primary defense tool.
The Master File is part of the OECD three-tier documentation structure: a description of the group's global business, functions of participants, and risks. It is prepared for participants of multinational enterprise groups (MNE groups) together with the MNE group participation notification and the local file. Without it, MNE group documentation is incomplete.
Restrictions apply to government bodies, state enterprises, and critical infrastructure facilities (Cabinet Resolution №1335). For the private sector — restrictions through NSDC sanctions lists and risk of fines up to 2% of annual turnover under draft law №13505. Using 1C/BAS may raise additional concerns from banks and investors. Learn more about migration →
Main alternatives: Odoo (4th globally, TCO 70–80% lower than SAP), SAP S/4HANA (for large enterprises), Microsoft Dynamics 365 (for companies in the Microsoft ecosystem). For most Ukrainian mid-market businesses, Odoo is the optimal choice by functionality, cost, and implementation speed.
From 2 to 6 months depending on company size and accounting structure complexity. Small business — 2–3 months, medium with multiple legal entities — 4–6 months. The key speed factor: having implementation team members who understand both accounting and technology — without this the project drags on and costs more.
