Why UAE businesses need local accounting software
Many UAE business owners still manage invoices, expenses and VAT using spreadsheets, WhatsApp messages and a patchwork of disconnected tools. It works — until VAT season, a chased payment or a Corporate Tax question turns it into a scramble. Fatoora brings everything together in one UAE-focused platform: FTA-compliant tax invoices, 5% VAT, VAT201 returns and Corporate Tax preparation — no spreadsheets required.
Everything you get with Fatoora
- FTA-compliant tax invoices with sequential numbering
- Send invoices instantly by WhatsApp or email
- VAT201 report generated automatically for any period

You don't need to be an accountant. Fatoora keeps your books in the background while you invoice clients, log expenses and import your bank statement. Whether you're a freelancer, a sole establishment or a growing SME, you always know your cash position, what VAT you owe, and your Corporate Tax estimate — without hiring a bookkeeper for day-to-day work.
Simple, honest pricing
Fatoora is AED 79/month or AED 790/year — one flat plan, unlimited invoices and clients, no per-seat fees. Start with a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, and cancel anytime.
