For accounting firms

Run every client's VAT quarter from one place.

Ledger is built for firms that look after many SME clients: one portfolio, the same checks on every file, and a clear view of which returns are ready.

The quarter-end problem

What eats a VAT practice's time

Retyping receipts

Hours each quarter spent keying in paper that clients photographed on their phones.

Reviews that depend on who did them

Whether blocked input VAT gets caught varies from one team member to the next.

Deadlines across dozens of clients

Knowing which returns are due, which are ready, and which are stuck — without a spreadsheet.

“Where did this figure come from?”

Finding the source document behind a number months later, when the FTA asks.

What your firm gets

Built around a portfolio, not a single company

One portfolio view

Every client's filing status, due date, document completeness and check results for the selected period — filter to the ones that need action.

Onboard clients in bulk

Add clients one by one or as a batch with TRN and trade licence. Each becomes its own entity under your firm.

VAT registration thresholds

Rolling 12-month taxable sales for every client against AED 375,000 (mandatory) and AED 187,500 (voluntary).

The same checks on every file

Every line of every client runs through the same FTA checks, so review quality doesn't depend on who picks up the file.

A firm-wide filings archive

All VAT 201 returns across clients, from draft to filed, with who prepared them and when they were filed.

Workpapers you can hand over

A box-by-box return summary for client sign-off and a line-level audit workbook with corrections and flags.

Who it's for

Practices that file VAT for others

  • Bookkeeping and accounting firms serving SMEs
  • FTA-registered tax agents preparing VAT returns
  • Corporate service providers with a VAT compliance practice
  • Running a pilot with a handful of clients first? Book a demo and we'll set it up with you.

Spend the quarter on judgement, not data entry.

Let Ledger read, sort and check the paperwork, however it arrives. Your team reviews the exceptions and signs off.
