QuickBooks Online Setup (UAE, Multi-currency AED)

QuickBooks Online is the most widely used cloud accounting platform among Dubai and Abu Dhabi SMEs that trade in more than one currency or want their books accessible from anywhere. I set up your QuickBooks Online company from scratch: AED as the base currency, multi-currency enabled for USD, EUR, GBP and SAR suppliers and customers, and tax codes set up for UAE VAT at 5% — standard-rated, zero-rated and exempt supplies all mapped correctly.

The chart of accounts is built for your industry — trading, contracting, e-commerce, real estate or professional services — not copied from a generic template. I connect your bank feeds (Emirates NBD, Mashreq, ADCB, RAKBANK and Wio all work with QuickBooks Online), design FTA-compliant tax invoice templates showing your TRN, and migrate your opening balances, customer lists and supplier lists from Excel or your legacy software.

QuickBooks Online fits free-zone and mainland businesses that want a global platform with a large app ecosystem — payroll add-ons, inventory apps and reporting tools all plug in. If your team already runs on Zoho products end to end, my Zoho Books gig is the better match; if you need an Arabic-first UAE-native platform, look at Wafeq. Every QuickBooks setup ends with a recorded handover session so your bookkeeper can run the system from day one.
