Describe what happened in plain words. RevenuesFlow posts it correctly — right account, right VAT — then tells you in plain English what it did and why, so approving takes five seconds and your VAT 201 is always ready to file.

The math
And the books are current today, not reconciled three weeks after month-end — with the VAT 201 already built.
How it works
You do not need to know what a debit is. You need to be able to tell whether the sentence in front of you describes what actually happened.
Type what happened in a sentence, forward the invoice email, or drop the PDF. Bank transactions come in from your statement upload and reconcile automatically.
Every entry arrives with the account it hit, the VAT treatment, and one sentence explaining why — in words, not journal lines. If it is wrong, you say so in words too. Nothing posts unapproved.
Because every approved entry was already mapped, the VAT 201 is complete at the end of the quarter — every FTA box, split by emirate, with the portal export.
UAE VAT 201
The FTA form, mapped to real transactions and split by emirate, with the portal export sitting next to it. Click any box to see the transactions inside it.
It also tells you what is missing — three customers with no emirate set will skew Box 1 before they skew your filing.
| Box 1 | Standard-rated supplies — Dubai | AED 200,000.00 | AED 10,000.00 |
| Box 4 | Zero-rated supplies | AED 45,000.00 | — |
| Box 9 | Standard-rated expenses (input VAT) | AED 8,619.05 | AED 430.95 |
Cash
Cash, burn, runway and what clients owe you — as of today, not as of the last time someone closed the month. The number is only useful if the ledger behind it is finished.
Against the alternative
QuickBooks and Xero are good ledgers. They are also ledgers that need someone who knows accounting sitting in front of them — which is the cost nobody puts in the comparison.
| QuickBooks / Xero | RevenuesFlow | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost | From AED 140 for the softwareplus ~AED 5,000 for the full-time bookkeeper who runs it | AED 1,098and nobody else to pay |
| Who does the work | You learn accounting, or you hire it | Drafted for you; you approve in plain English |
| UAE VAT 201 | Manual mapping or a third-party add-on | Native — every FTA box, by emirate, with export |
| How current the books are | Reconciled weeks after month-end | Current today — cash, runway and receivables as of now |

Invite them as a collaborator at no cost. They get the reports, journals and FTA export they ask for.
Questions
You are not checking the debits. You are checking a sentence: what was bought, from whom, whether VAT applied. If that sentence matches reality, the accounting behind it follows — and the audit trail records that you approved it.
Upload your bank statement or CSV export and RevenuesFlow reconciles it against your entries. Direct bank feeds (Emirates NBD, Mashreq, WIO, ADCB) are coming — the upload path reconciles the same way in the meantime.
Yes. Every FTA box is mapped to real transactions and split by emirate, with the portal export next to it — and it flags what is missing before it can skew your filing.
One-click migration — trial balance, chart of accounts, contacts and open invoices — is on the near-term roadmap. Today you can start clean or bring opening balances in manually.
Corporate tax is coming: the 9% computation will run off the same approved ledger, including the small-business-relief threshold. VAT is fully live today; corporate tax is next.
Yes, at no cost. Users are unlimited, so your accountant works in the same books and gets the reports, journals and FTA export they ask for — no extra seat to buy.
Bring in last quarter, watch the VAT 201 build itself, and decide from something real rather than a feature list.
