Accounting software for cleaning companies in UAE, from hourly bookings to office contracts

Cleaning margins are measured per hour, so labour and transport sit close to revenue in the chart. HelloBooks starts cleaning companies with this layout.

• Hourly home cleaning income, contract cleaning income, deep cleaning income
• Cleaner salaries, accommodation, visas and medical insurance
• Transport: vans, fuel, drivers
• Cleaning chemicals, equipment and uniforms
• Cash collected by cleaners awaiting deposit

Cleaning services are standard-rated at 5% once you are registered. Many small cleaning firms start below the threshold, and registration becomes mandatory once taxable supplies pass AED 375,000 in the previous 12 months. Track this closely if you are growing, because hourly bookings add up quickly.

Prices shown to households are usually VAT-inclusive, while office contracts are quoted net with VAT added on a tax invoice. HelloBooks handles both, and the agent applies the right one by customer type.

Upload the booking app’s export and the agent posts each booking with VAT. Office contracts are billed monthly by recurring invoice. Cash collected by cleaners is posted to a cash-in-hand account per cleaner and cleared when the deposit appears on your bank statement upload. Supplier bills for chemicals and uniforms are read and posted.

Ask “what is revenue per cleaner hour this month?” or “which cleaners are holding cash not yet deposited?” Payroll runs through HelloTime, and you approve salaries and any refunds for missed bookings.

Revenue per hour, staff cost per hour, contract profitability and cash variances are the regular set. If a cleaner is billed at AED 40 per hour for 190 hours in a month and costs AED 4,600 including accommodation and transport, that cleaner contributes AED 3,000.

Booking export formats, cash-handling approval rules and contract invoice layouts can be set up for you. Email hello@hellobooks.ai or book at /book-a-demo to set them up.
