Accounting & ERP Software for UAE Businesses

To comply with UAE e-invoicing, you need two things: software that produces structured e-invoices in the official PINT AE format, and an accredited service provider (ASP) that sends them to your customer's ASP over the Peppol network and reports the tax data to the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Some software vendors are accredited ASPs themselves; others connect to one. Choosing the right software is therefore as important as choosing the ASP.

The guides below compare the options for UAE businesses using the same criteria: official ASP status on the Ministry of Finance (MoF) list, public price in AED, target users, inventory and multi-company features, Arabic invoices, local support and total cost over three years.

Where should you start?

• You only need to issue invoices. Start with the best accounting software in the UAE. Odoo with invoicing and accounting, Zoho Books and Wafeq all fit a small business.
• You manage stock, purchasing or several companies. Read our guide to ERP software in the UAE; an accounting tool alone may not cover these needs.
• You are choosing between two common options. Our Odoo vs Zoho Books comparison sets out when each one fits.
• You want to keep your current software. Check whether it is accredited or connects to an accredited ASP. The official list of accredited service providers shows 65 accredited providers (consulted on 10 October 2026).

Is this site neutral about Odoo?

This site is published by Kenobiz Solutions LLC, an Odoo partner. We cover Odoo in detail in our guide to Odoo in the UAE, but we recommend it only when the profile fits: from a single freelancer to around 200 users, when needs go beyond invoicing or growth is planned. When your current software already covers your needs, we say so. Our method is explained in how we compare software.
