How it works

Three checks. Not one.

Hisabi doesn't ask you to trust the AI. It asks you to check the one thing only you can check — the facts.

1

AI writes the entry

Plain English in. Correct double-entry out. UAE VAT rules applied at posting.

2

Compliance checks the treatment

Every entry runs through UAE VAT and FTA compliance checks before it reaches your return.

3

You check the facts

Was AED 5,000 really paid to Etisalat on 15 March? Only you know. We can't check what you never told us.

Don't test us on the easy ones

Every tool handles “paid rent.” Try the ones that get people fined.

Reverse charge on an imported service. Gratuity for staff who left in March. A euro invoice half-paid. These are the entries where Tally users phone their accountant. Pick one.

Paid Piotr in Poland EUR 2,000 for our new website design
Why this matters
Imported service, so reverse charge — both sides posted. This is the entry most UAE businesses get wrong and get fined for.

Common objections

You're not afraid of software. You're afraid of the FTA.

Fair. Here's what each concern actually means — and what Hisabi does about it.

Objection 1

“The AI will get my VAT wrong.”

Every entry runs through UAE VAT compliance checks. Errors get flagged before they reach your return. The hard cases above aren't cherry-picked — they're the ones that get businesses fined, and Hisabi handles them correctly by default.

Objection 2

“What if the FTA audits me?”

Every transaction has an audit trail: what was typed, what was posted, and when. Your VAT 201 is generated from the same books, so there are no reconciliation gaps. If the FTA asks, the trail is there.

Objection 3

“What about my current accountant?”

Give them a login. They see clean, current books instead of a WhatsApp folder of receipts at quarter-end. Hisabi handles the data entry — they advise. Most accountants prefer this arrangement.

Objection 4

“Moving from Tally will be painful.”

Opening balances import in an afternoon. Your first live transaction can be posted on the same day. No configuration phase, no consultant to hire, no training manual to read.

The part software alone doesn't do

What we caught last month.

Anyone can claim their AI is accurate. Here is what compliance checks actually catching things looks like — real issues from customer books, anonymised.

FLAGGED · Non-recoverable input VAT
A trading company claimed 5% input VAT on a client dinner at a Dubai hotel.
Compliance note
Entertainment VAT isn't recoverable under UAE VAT law. Moved the 5% into the expense and out of box 9 before the return closed.
FLAGGED · Missing supplier TRN
A supplier invoice for AED 18,400 had no TRN printed on it, but VAT was charged.
Compliance note
No TRN means no valid tax invoice — no input VAT claim. Held it out of the return and flagged for a corrected invoice from the supplier.
FLAGGED · Reverse charge missed
A consultancy booked a Polish software subscription as an ordinary expense.
Compliance note
Imported service — reverse charge applies under Article 48 of the UAE VAT Law. Posted both sides so boxes 3 and 10 agree. The most common FTA penalty.
FLAGGED · Duplicate entry
The same AED 6,200 supplier bill entered twice, eleven days apart.
Compliance note
Same vendor, same amount, same invoice number. Reversed the second entry and left the audit trail intact — overstated input VAT would have triggered scrutiny on filing.

This is the difference between accounting software and accounting.
The subtraction

You're paying thousands to not understand your own business.

Put in what your accountant or bookkeeper costs you every month. See how much you keep.

You pay per yearAED 21,600
Hisabi per yearAED 3,588
You keepAED 18,012

A freelance accountant looks at your books when the return is due, hands you a filing you can't question because you can't read it, and charges professional rates for typing.

Same UAE VAT compliance. A fraction of the cost. And for the first time, books you can actually read.

Why nothing fits

Built for the West. Built for India. Never built for you.

QuickBooks

Written for a country with no 5% VAT and no TRN. Support routed through a timezone that's asleep when the FTA portal is open.

Tally

A desktop program from 1988 with a UAE localisation patch bolted on. Your books live on one machine in your office.

Zoho / Wafeq

Cloud, and Wafeq knows UAE VAT — but both still make you fill forms, and Zoho wants a consultant before your first invoice.

Hisabi opens with UAE VAT already on.

5% and zero-rated handled. TRN on every tax invoice with all 16 fields the FTA requires. Reverse charge on imports. Gratuity under UAE Labour Law. Arabic and English. AED first. Built for the consultancies, traders and agencies of Dubai and Sharjah — nothing to configure, no consultant to hire, first entry in one sentence.

Ask Hisabi

Ask your books a question. In the words you'd actually use.

No report to run, no accountant to email, no waiting for the quarter to close.

“Who owes me money right now?”6 invoices · AED 84,200 · oldest 71 days
“Can I cover the Q3 rent cheque?”Yes — AED 112,400 across 2 accounts
“How much VAT will I owe next filing?”AED 9,340 payable · due 28 Oct
“What did I spend on salaries this quarter?”AED 187,500 · 11 staff
Nobody gets fired

Your accountant keeps the part worth paying for.

Hisabi doesn't replace your accountant — it stops you paying professional rates for data entry. Give them a login and they see clean, current books instead of a WhatsApp folder of receipts at quarter-end.

They advise. Hisabi types.
