  • FAQs

    Which accounting packages do you work with?

    We work with major cloud and ERP accounting systems commonly used in the UAE and internationally. During discovery we recommend the best fit for your business model and growth plans.

    How do you handle data migration?

    We map legacy data to the new chart of accounts, clean and validate records, perform test imports, and run reconciliation checks before go-live to protect financial continuity.

    Will the system be VAT-ready?

    Yes. VAT configuration is a standard part of our setup: tax codes, automatic VAT posting, and VAT return mapping for FTA compliance.

    Can you connect the accounting system to our bank and POS?

    Yes. We configure bank integrations and common POS or payment gateway connections to automate reconciliations and reduce manual posting.

    How long does an implementation take?

    Timeline depends on complexity, data volume and integrations. A basic cloud accounting setup can be completed in days; migrations with multiple integrations and ERP projects take longer. We provide an estimated timeline after the initial assessment.

    Do you provide training and documentation?

    Yes. We deliver role-based training sessions, step-by-step guides and administrator handover to ensure your team can operate the system confidently.
