Looking for a QuickBooks Alternative in the UAE?

QuickBooks is a well-known accounting platform. If you want something lighter and purpose-built for the UAE, Fatoora is designed for freelancers and small businesses here.

When a global suite is more than you need

Enterprise accounting platforms are built to do everything for every market. For a UAE freelancer or small business, that often means paying for — and configuring — features you will never use, when all you really need is clean invoicing, correct VAT, and readiness for Corporate Tax.

What you get with Fatoora

  • UAE-native invoicing with FTA-aligned fields and 5% VAT
  • Automatic VAT201 figures for any period
  • WhatsApp and email invoice delivery
  • Automatic bookkeeping and bank reconciliation
  • Corporate Tax preparation and estimates
  • One flat price with no per-seat fees

No lock-in

Start free, and if it is not for you, export your data and move on — no long contracts, no migration project. Fatoora is designed to earn your business, not trap it.
