- You approve every entry
- English & Arabic

How it works
Tell Qaid what happened. Approve the entry. Ask anything.
1. Describe or upload
Type “paid 45 KWD for printing” in English or Arabic, upload a receipt, or forward it to your Qaid inbox address.
2. Review the draft
Qaid proposes the accounts, amounts, VAT and currency conversion as a draft. Nothing posts until you approve it.
3. Ask your books
Ask “what did I spend on software this quarter?” and get an answer from your own ledger — plus P&L, balance sheet and cash-flow reports.

Who is this for?
Built for people who run a business, not for accountants.
Freelancers
Record income and expenses in a sentence and always know what a project really made you.
Startups
Keep a clean double-entry ledger from day one, so investor and accountant reviews are quick.
Small businesses
Stay on top of income, expenses, VAT and who owes you money without a finance team.
Online sellers
Capture sales, platform fees and inventory purchases as they happen, in any currency.
Bookkeepers
Let clients describe what happened, then review structured drafts instead of shoeboxes.
Home businesses
Snap a receipt and move on — your books stay organised in the background.
Accounting software is slow to learn, takes time to maintain, and assumes you know accounting.
Slow
Forms, account codes and journal screens get in the way. You already know what happened — the friction is translating it into the software's language.
Expensive & time-consuming
Outsourced bookkeeping is costly, and doing it yourself eats evenings. Qaid lives in your browser on desktop and phone, whenever you have five minutes.
Accounting knowledge
Debits, credits and ledgers shouldn't be a prerequisite. Qaid explains why it chose an account, so you learn your numbers as you go.
Same accounting process.A simpler way in.
Qaid offers several ways to record a transaction — chat, upload, email or bank-statement import — with no accounting knowledge needed. Keep your books current and create invoices with VAT applied where your country requires it, plus a Zakat estimate for Saudi Arabia.*
*The Zakat estimate uses the 2.5% rule of thumb on the higher of net worth or net profit. It is an estimate, not a filing or tax advice.
Records your transactions as proper double-entry journal entries.
Explains each entry and surfaces insights about your business.
Creates invoices with VAT and reports VAT, Zakat and income-tax provisions.
Talk to Qaid

Frequently asked questions
Qaid is an AI bookkeeper for freelancers, founders and small businesses. You describe transactions in plain language or upload receipts and invoices; Qaid drafts the double-entry accounting entry for your approval, keeps your ledger organised, and answers questions about your finances from your own data.
You type what happened (for example “paid 120 KWD for internet”), upload a document, or forward a receipt to your Qaid inbox address. Qaid proposes the accounts, amounts, VAT and currency conversion as a draft with a short explanation. The entry is only posted to the ledger when you approve it.
Yes. Every approved transaction posts balanced journal entries to a chart of accounts, and Qaid produces a trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet, cash-flow statement, receivables and payables ageing, and VAT reports from that ledger.
Yes. Qaid accepts PDFs, photos (JPG, PNG, HEIC, WebP), CSV and Excel files up to 25 MB. It extracts the vendor, date, amounts and tax, checks for duplicates, and drafts the entry. You can also email receipts to a dedicated address for your company.
You can set up a company in any country and currency. Qaid ships VAT defaults for Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and Sudan, a Zakat toggle, and payroll rule presets for Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman. Every rate is editable.
Qaid calculates VAT on invoices and expenses and reports output and input VAT for a period. For companies with Zakat enabled (the default for Saudi Arabia), it produces a Zakat estimate using the 2.5% rule of thumb on the higher of net worth or net profit. These are calculations and estimates for your records; Qaid does not submit filings to ZATCA or any other authority and is not a ZATCA e-invoicing solution.
