TOP 10 ACCOUNTING SOFTWARES / ERP's USING IN UAE & MIDDLE EAST

1 – QUICKBOOKS ACCOUNTING SOFTWARE:

Intuit QuickBooks is one of the most familiar names in the accounting software world. QuickBooks Enterprise ERP is generally considered one of the best business management apps on the market. It boasts the QuickBooks user interface that is easy to learn with intuitive operation. Almost all professional accounting firms either use QuickBooks as part of their own accounting software tool set or are familiar with the file formats so QuickBooks users can send QuickBooks data directly to their accounting services. Several custom solutions are available pre-configured to meet the needs of specific industries. QuickBooks Enterprise is best suited to mid-size businesses up to about $250 million. Larger business might benefit from a more professional-focused offering. Fully trained accounting professionals can find the interface somewhat isolating because it keeps technical accounting terms and actions hidden. A subscription-based option is available with hosting for data access from anywhere, anytime. 

2 – ZOHO – A Revolutionary FTA Accredited Accounting Software for UAE

ZOHO stands well above the crowd, recognized for its versatility, and its ability to connect with hundreds of everyday programs used by millions. Cloud Storage is seamless whether you’re using box, Dropbox, Google Drive, or anything else you can name. Its mobile versions run on iOS, Android, and even Windows Phone so you’re never out of touch with your work. You can handle Sales, POs, billing, payments, banking, and stay in touch on estimates, projects, and workflows. And nowadays, one of the most important aspects is VAT integration; you must be able to track VAT (since the new laws just went into effect), if you want to avoid costly penalties.
