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.
Coverage across the region
Government compliance, built in
National e-invoicing, handled automatically
Connect Bookeeper to your country's national e-invoicing system once — every invoice you issue is reported to the tax authority in the background and comes back stamped with the official QR code.
LiveJordan — JoFotara — ISTD National E-Invoicing
Required for all businesses since April 2025 — only invoices carrying the official ISTD QR are accepted as tax-deductible. Bookeeper files each invoice and credit note for you and prints the QR on the PDF, verifiable in the Sanad app.
LiveSaudi Arabia — ZATCA — Fatoora (Phase 2)
Phase 2 e-invoicing is mandatory for every VAT-registered business in the Kingdom. Bookeeper onboards your device on the Fatoora portal in minutes, then cryptographically signs and reports each invoice to ZATCA with the official QR code.
One switch in Settings — no separate government portal, no re-typing invoices, and automatic retries when the government system is slow.
How we compare
One flat plan vs. the region's tiers
bookeeper is the only all-inclusive MENA plan — every feature, unlimited users per company, 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.
