Share books with your accountant UAE owners trust, live

Many UAE owners still send their accountant a zip file of PDFs every quarter, then wait for questions about receipts they no longer remember. When the accountant works in the same live ledger, questions come up while the transaction is fresh. HelloBooks gives your accountant their own login and role. The AI does the routine coding; the accountant reviews, corrects and signs off.

Free Plan with invoices within 200 transactions, bills & quotes — no credit card.

How the HelloBooks AI agent handles it

You ask in plain English, the AI does the bookkeeping work, and you or your accountant approve the result.

  • You ask: “What has the AI posted this month that my accountant has not reviewed yet?”
  • The AI agent: The AI lists transactions posted since the last review with the confidence of each categorisation, and highlights the low-confidence ones for the accountant's queue.
  • You review: Your accountant works through the queue, corrects any coding, answers or raises questions on specific entries, and marks the month reviewed.

Roles that fit the relationship

Not every accountant needs full control. Some only review and prepare returns; others manage the books outright. Invite them by email and choose the role. Larger companies on the Business plan can use advanced role-based access to set exactly what each person can see and change.

  • Owner: everything, including users and billing
  • Accountant: post and edit journals, reconcile, prepare VAT and reports
  • Reviewer: read-only access with comments and exports
  • Staff: capture receipts and raise invoices only

Working together without email chains

Comments sit on the transaction, so a question about a AED 4,800 bill from a Deira supplier is answered next to the bill, with the receipt visible. The audit log shows who changed what. When it is time for the VAT return, the accountant opens the VAT 201 draft built from the ledger, reviews it and files on EmaraTax.

Accountants who look after many UAE clients can join the HelloBooks Partner Program and manage clients from one place. Firms that want the software under their own name can look at the White-Label License.

Worked example: a quarterly close done in a week

A Dubai consultancy posts around 300 transactions each quarter. Previously its accountant spent two weeks each quarter rebuilding the books from emailed files. Now the AI has already coded and matched most entries; the accountant reviews 41 low-confidence items, fixes six, asks the owner about three, and closes within a week.

VAT output of AED 38,400 and input of AED 9,150 come straight from the ledger. If the firm wants a standard chart of accounts or custom AI categorisation rules applied for its clients, those can be agreed on a call through /book-a-demo.
