Real estate financial management requires far more than generic accounting software. Managing multi-year buyer installment ledgers, post-dated cheque (PDC) vaults, contractor Running Account (RA) bill deductions, and project-wise cost allocations demands specialized financial controls.
Unova Finance ERP is Egypt’s specialized real estate financial accounting software engineered to unify project ledgers, customer instalment receipts, contractor billing deductions, and bank reconciliations into a single audit-ready platform.

"Managing accounts across 8 housing projects used to take 15 days of manual compilation every month. Unova Finance ERP automated our Egyptian Tax Authority tax calculations and reduced month-end closing to just 1 day." — Chief Financial Officer, Landmark Development Ltd
1. Overview
Real estate finance departments face distinct operational challenges:
- Multi-Year Instalment Tracking: Real estate sales generate long-term customer receivables. Manually matching bank deposits with PDC cheque registers causes financial reporting delays.
- NBR Source Tax Complexity: Computing Tax Deducted at Source (AIT) and VAT on contractor bills and land purchases without automated rules increases audit risk.
- Project Cost Overruns: Without real-time integration between site material purchases and accounts ledgers, project budget overruns are discovered months too late.
Unova Finance ERP resolves these vulnerabilities with automated tax rules, bank reconciliation engines, and real-time project profitability dashboards.
2. Key Features & Modules
