Wafeq Setup (UAE-native Accounting)
About This Service
Wafeq Setup — UAE-native Accounting in Arabic and English
Wafeq is accounting software built in and for the UAE and the wider GCC, and it shows in the details: a fully bilingual Arabic and English interface, AED-first defaults, and tax invoice formats aligned with FTA requirements out of the box. I set up your Wafeq account end to end — chart of accounts, VAT at 5%, opening balances and user roles — so the books are correct from the very first entry.
Your invoices are configured to show your TRN and the fields a UAE tax invoice needs, in Arabic, English or both, and the platform is built with e-invoicing readiness in mind as the UAE moves in that direction — your setup stays aligned with the general requirements without guesswork. Bank reconciliation is configured so statements from your UAE bank are matched against the ledger every month.
Wafeq suits Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah businesses that want software speaking the local language — literally — including companies whose owners, partners or auditors prefer Arabic-language reports. I migrate your data from QuickBooks, Zoho Books or Excel, and invite your external accountant as a collaborator with the right permission level, so your bookkeeper and your auditor work from the same live records.
