Odoo implementation services in the United Kingdom
Oakland is an Odoo Gold Partner delivering Odoo implementation services in the United Kingdom for mid-market companies with 50–500 employees. We serve UK clients remote-first: senior consultants working UK hours, fixed-scope proposals in GBP, and Making Tax Digital-ready accounting configured in from day one.
The product
Odoo, on screen
Before the proposal, before the budget: this is the software your finance and operations leads will open every morning.
Standard Odoo screens, not a bespoke demo build.
Oakland is an Odoo Gold Partner implementing Odoo for UK mid-market companies — with VAT configured correctly, Making Tax Digital-ready digital records and Sage or Xero migrations designed in from the start, not bolted on.
How we work with UK companies
Remote-first, with senior people. UK clients get a named lead consultant, working sessions on UK hours, and documentation clean enough for your auditors.
UK companies scaling past Sage or Xero
when consolidation, inventory or reporting outgrow entry accounting, we move you to Odoo with your chart of accounts mapped and migrated.
UK subsidiaries of global groups
multi-company, multi-currency Odoo configured for UK reporting alongside group consolidation.
UK companies expanding abroad
add entities, currencies and languages on one Odoo instance as you open new markets — in Europe, the US or beyond.
UK compliance, configured into the rollout
VAT
the standard-rate scheme applied on every invoice, with reclaim handling and reporting your accountant can review before the VAT return is filed.
Making Tax Digital
Odoo's UK localisation keeps VAT records digital and connects to HMRC for Making Tax Digital submission; we configure it and test with your accountant before go-live.
Payments & banking
BACS, Faster Payments and bank reconciliation connected to your UK bank feeds.
UK payroll
Odoo payroll is not localised for the UK, so we integrate Odoo HR with your payroll provider — employee data stays in sync and payroll costs flow into Odoo accounting.
What we do for UK companies

discovery-to-go-live rollout with UK localisation configured in: VAT, Making Tax Digital-ready records, bank feeds.

How a UK rollout runs
Most UK mid-market implementations take 3–6 months from kickoff to go-live. Fixed-scope proposals in GBP, with the fee fixed per scope before the build. Making Tax Digital configuration and VAT testing happen inside phases 3 and 4 — not after go-live.

Odoo implementation FAQs — United Kingdom
How much does Odoo implementation cost in the UK?
Two costs: the Odoo licence (per user per month, paid to Odoo — current rates at odoo.com/pricing) and the implementation services, priced by scope. The full framework is on our pricing page: /uk-en/pricing/
How long does a UK Odoo rollout take?
Most UK mid-market rollouts run 3–6 months. Scope drives the calendar more than headcount.
Can Odoo handle Making Tax Digital for VAT?
Yes — Odoo's UK localisation is built for Making Tax Digital: VAT records stay digital and returns can be submitted to HMRC through the localisation. We configure the VAT scheme and test with your accountant before go-live; the filing itself stays with your business and your accountant.
Can you migrate us from Sage or Xero?
Yes — they are our most common UK starting points. We map your chart of accounts, migrate historical transactions and run a validation cycle before cutover.
Does Odoo handle UK payroll?
Not natively — Odoo payroll is not localised for the UK. We integrate Odoo HR with your existing payroll provider so employee records stay in sync and payroll costs flow into Odoo accounting.
Do you work with UK clients remotely?
Yes — remote-first by design, delivered from our Dubai HQ. A named lead consultant, working sessions on UK hours, everything documented. Nobody flies in for a status meeting.
Are you part of Odoo?
No. Oakland is an independent company and an official Odoo Gold Partner, listed in the odoo.com partner directory. Odoo S.A. publishes the software; we implement it.
What does an Odoo licence cost?
Licensing is paid to Odoo and rates change — check odoo.com/pricing for current plans. Our pricing page shows what we charge for services and how the two fit together: /uk-en/pricing/
