LUCA is a accounting & finance tool for Small businesses and Freelancers, offered as paid. Founded in Turkey in 2005.
About LUCA
LUCA is a Turkish accounting software family launched in 2005 by TÜRMOB, the union of Turkish certified public accountants (mali müşavir), through its training arm TESMER. TÜRMOB describes it as Turkey's first web-based central accounting system. Luca Net was added for businesses at the end of 2013. Its core job is to let accountants keep the books of all their client companies in one system and file Turkish tax returns and e-ledgers directly with the Revenue Administration (GİB).
The flagship Mali Müşavir Paketi (MMP) prepares VAT, withholding (muhtasar), provisional tax, BA/BS and income or corporate tax returns and sends them to GİB e-Beyanname in bulk, produces e-Defter files, runs payroll with SGK incentives, imports bank statements and calculates inflation accounting. For businesses, Luca Net KOBİ handles current accounts, stock, invoicing, e-Fatura and e-Arşiv, and posts entries straight into the accountant's LUCA ledger; Luca Net One is a lighter version and Luca Koza targets larger firms. Pricing is in Turkish lira with a one-time entry fee plus an annual fee.
LUCA fits independent accountants and the small businesses they serve, especially when both sides use it and data flows without exports. It is weaker on modern UX, mobile apps and open APIs. Paraşüt and Logo İşbaşı are friendlier for business owners doing their own pre-accounting, while Mikro suits companies that need a full desktop ERP.
Buying tip: newly licensed accountants can get the MMP entry support package with no entry fee, and the e-Defter license is a separate one-time ₺9,000 charge.
