Accounting software for Dubai startup

Accounting software for Dubai startup

Didn't find your answer?

Hi all,

my brother is starting up a recruitment company in Dubai and has asked me what my recommendations for accounting software I have.

So far as I am aware there is no sales tax/VAT etc in Dubai so I was thinking of making a recommendation of

  • Sage - popular, easy to use and lots of training material
  • VT cashbook - free and relatively easy but no sales and purchase ledger
  • Clearbooks - online and easy to use

If anyone else has any thoughts I would be interested to hear your views

Thanks

Just one comment

In terms of online solutions ADSL connections are expensive and not that reliable over there.

Just a thought to factor in.

Network latency
Depending on where the servers for a cloud based solution are hosted it will be important to establish the latency between the user and the servers. Latency above 100ms will result in a very 'sticky' user experience with lag and delays between keyboard input and system response. Try before you buy!

Been there, done that!
