Everything you need
One platform for your whole back office
From the first invoice to the year-end balance sheet, bookeeper keeps the numbers correct and the busywork automated.
Double-entry accounting
A real ledger under the hood. Every invoice, expense, and payroll run posts balanced journal entries automatically — no accounting degree required.
Smart invoicing
Create bilingual invoices in seconds, send them by email, track what's paid and overdue, and set recurring bills that send themselves.
Client & contact management
Keep customers and vendors in one shared list, each with a per-client statement, aging, and a full ledger. Store contact names in Arabic and English, and import or export them as CSV.
AI receipt scanning
Drop in a photo or PDF and AI reads the vendor, date, tax, and totals — then drafts the expense for you to approve. Arabic receipts included.
AI assistant
Ask your books anything — “show overdue invoices” or “what did I spend on software?” — and get an instant answer in plain Arabic or English.
Payroll with GOSI
Run payroll with country-aware social insurance (GOSI and more), end-of-service calculations, and payslip PDFs your team can actually read.
IFRS-style reports
Balance sheet, income statement, cash flow, trial balance and aging — always in balance, always ready to export to CSV or Excel.
Multi-company
Run every company you own from one login. Switch instantly — each keeps its own isolated, fully-balanced books and role-based access.
Multi-currency
Invoice in SAR, AED, JOD, USD and more. bookeeper tracks rates and keeps your base-currency books accurate.
Secure Stripe billing
One simple subscription, billed securely through Stripe. Manage or cancel anytime — we never see or store your card details.
Built for the whole region
Every MENA market, localized end to end
Per-country tax and VAT, local social insurance, Arabic-first right-to-left, and every regional currency — bookeeper fits your market straight out of the box.
Per-country tax & VAT
Rates tuned to each market — 15% VAT in Saudi Arabia, 5% in the UAE, and beyond — applied to invoices automatically.
Arabic-first & RTL
The whole interface, invoices, and reports render natively right-to-left. Switch to English in one tap.
Local payroll & GOSI
Country-aware social insurance and end-of-service calculations, wherever your team is based.

How we compare
One flat plan vs. the region's tiers
bookeeper is the only all-inclusive MENA plan — every feature, unlimited users and companies, an AI assistant, and full Arabic-first bilingual — for one flat $12.99/month, starting at $1 for 3 months. Here's an honest look at how that stacks up.

Competitor details are as of July 2026 and change often — verify current pricing and features before relying on them. Where rivals lead, we say so: bookeeper is not yet a certified ZATCA / JoFotara / ETA e-invoicing provider (native clearance is on our roadmap), and Zoho, Wafeq and Daftra all ship their own AI. Prices are effective monthly, converted from local currency where needed.
