Meet Rafiq, your AI accountant

Work by talking, not by typing into forms

Most of the work in Invora starts with a sentence, a voice note or a photo. Rafiq, the assistant inside Invora, knows your customers, items, accounts and VAT, does the work, and shows you the result to approve. The name means “companion” in Arabic, Hindi and Urdu.

Speak

Voice notes in English, Arabic or Hindi become invoices, expenses, payments and payroll runs.

“Invoice Gulf Horizon ten hours of design at 400”

Snap or upload

Receipts, supplier invoices, bank statements and old trial balances are read for you, scanned PDFs included.

A photo of an ENOC receipt becomes a fuel expense with VAT

Ask

Answers from your own books in seconds: what is outstanding, who is late, what one customer owes, your profit, your VAT. Tax rule questions are answered from the UAE tax library, with sources.

“What’s my outstanding?” · “When do I need an ASP?”

Do it by sentence

Add a customer, change a price, record a payment, send an invoice on WhatsApp, remind late payers or invite your accountant. Each change is shown first and saved only when you tap.

Accounting

Your books, kept for you

Invoices, expenses, bank lines and payroll go into the books as you work. Invora does the bookkeeping; you check and approve.

Home

Everything at a glance,
every morning.

Profit, cash in the bank, VAT due and who owes you, worked out from your books as you work. A short list shows only what needs you today.

  • Updated as invoices, expenses and bank lines come in
  • Needs you: lines to approve, payroll to run, VAT to check
  • Ask Rafiq on WhatsApp for any figure

Bank and cash

Upload your statement.
The matching is done.

PDF, CSV or Excel from any UAE bank. Invora matches payments to your invoices and bills, places the rest by your own rules, and only asks about what it cannot be sure of.

  • Emirates NBD, ADCB, FAB, Mashreq, RAKBANK, Wio and more
  • Learns a rule after the second time you place a line
  • Books and bank balance side by side, so differences stand out

Inventory

Know what is on the shelf,
and what to reorder.

Stock comes in with your supplier bills and goes out with every invoice, at average cost. Invora works out how many days each item lasts at your sales pace and writes the reorder list for your supplier.

  • Say “received 50 cartons at 12 from Gulf Stationery”
  • Cost of goods sold booked with every sale
  • Count stock any time; the difference is booked for you

For your industry

Trips, projects and cheques,
from one sentence.

Transport companies log trips by voice and bill each customer once a month. Contractors raise progress claims with retention. Traders keep post-dated cheques with a reminder before each date.

  • Cross-border trips at 0% VAT, profit per vehicle
  • Retention tracked until it is due back
  • Clearing a cheque settles the customer’s invoices

Expenses on WhatsApp

Send a receipt.
It is in your books.

Photograph a receipt or type “paid DEWA 1,260 card” or “DEWA ko 1260 card se diya”. Invora picks the category, takes out the VAT you can claim, and saves it when you tap Save. Ask “who owes me?” and get the answer from your books.

  • English, Arabic, or Hindi typed in English letters
  • Nothing is saved until you confirm
  • Questions about your books answered instantly

VAT return

Your VAT 201 return,
box by box.

Every figure in the order the EmaraTax portal asks for it, with a copy button next to each one. A checklist shows anything to fix before you file, and you can lock the period once it is submitted.

  • Emirate boxes, reverse charge and adjustments worked out
  • Built from the same entries as your ledger, so it always agrees
  • Record the VAT payment and lock the period in one tap

Payroll

Run the month
in one step.

Salaries, part months, unpaid leave and end-of-service gratuity under UAE Labour Law, worked out for you. Download the WPS salary file for your bank and mark it paid when the money leaves.

  • Gratuity set aside every month, not as a year-end surprise
  • WPS SIF file checked for missing IBANs and person codes
  • Payslips your team can understand

Reports

Know where you stand,
any day.

Profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow, trial balance and ledger, built from what you already recorded. No journal entries to learn, and an audit trail of every change for your accountant.

  • Statements in plain words, not accounting jargon
  • Your accountant can review everything in the same workspace
  • Print or share whenever the bank or an investor asks

Questions

Straight answers

Still unsure? Email customer support at support@invora.ae and a person will reply.

Is e-invoicing really free?

Yes. Sales invoices and e-invoicing are free on every plan, including the Free plan, up to the monthly document allowance. The paid plans add your full books: bank, expenses, the VAT return, statements and payroll.

Do I need accounting software or an accountant?

No accounting software is needed: Invora keeps the books from what you already record. Many owners still have an accountant check the VAT return and year-end figures; they can sign in to the same workspace.

Do I need e-invoicing if I am not VAT registered, or in a free zone?

Yes, if you invoice other businesses or the government. The UAE rules follow the transaction, not your VAT registration, and free zone companies are included. Sales to consumers are outside e-invoicing for now. Confirm your position with your tax adviser.

Can my accountant and staff log in?

Yes, on the paid plans: 2 people on Lite, 5 on Plus, 15 on Pro and 40 on Max, and more for AED 9 a month each. Choose a role for each: accountant, sales, purchases and stock, field staff or viewer. Each role sees only what it needs, and every change is in the audit trail.

Does Invora track stock?

Yes, with the Inventory module, which you can choose on any paid plan. Stock comes in with your supplier bills and goes out with your invoices, valued at average cost. Count your stock any time, and Invora suggests what to reorder from your sales of the last 30 days.

Is the VAT return in the FTA format?

Yes. The VAT 201 return is laid out box by box in the order the EmaraTax portal asks, including the emirate boxes, reverse charge and adjustments. Each figure has a copy button, and a checklist shows anything to fix first. Please confirm your return with your tax adviser.

Which bank statements work?

PDF, CSV and Excel statements from UAE banks such as Emirates NBD, ADCB, FAB, Mashreq, RAKBANK and Wio. The file is read on your device, and uploading the same months again never adds lines twice.

Can I do this through WhatsApp?

Yes, in the connected pilot. Link your number to your Invora account, then send text, voice notes, images, PDFs or spreadsheets. Rafiq can ask for missing details and show a summary for your confirmation. WhatsApp setup is currently arranged during pilot onboarding.

When does e-invoicing apply to my business?

The Ministry of Finance has announced a phased rollout. Businesses with revenue under AED 50 million are in the later phase: appoint an accredited service provider by 31 March 2027 and go live on 1 July 2027. Once live, each e-invoice and credit note must go through within 14 business days of the transaction. Use the readiness checker above, and confirm with your tax adviser.

How does Invora keep up with tax law?

Every day Invora checks what the Federal Tax Authority and the Ministry of Finance publish: laws, decisions, guides and public clarifications. New items are reviewed and added to the tax library in your workspace, and the product rules are updated where they change. Ask Rafiq a tax question and it answers from the library with the source.

Can I ask Rafiq to change things for me?

Yes. Type or say it, on the web or WhatsApp: add a customer, change a price, record a payment, remind late payers, prepare payroll. Invora shows you the change first and saves it only when you tap Save. Your role decides what you can change.

What is an ASP?

An accredited service provider is a company approved to exchange e-invoices on the UAE network and report them to the Federal Tax Authority. Invora prepares and checks your invoices; it is not an accredited service provider itself.

Which languages can I use?

Rafiq understands English, simple Arabic, and Hindi typed in English letters, for example “DEWA ko 1260 card se diya”. You can also send voice notes. The website and workspace navigation are in English.

What is available in early access?

The pilot includes invoice drafts, the business dashboard, customer and item records, voice and document capture, and Excel imports. WhatsApp requires a connected test setup. QuickBooks Online has been tested with a sandbox company. Production QuickBooks access and ASP invoice sending and receiving require provider activation.

Will my invoices be sent automatically?

No. You review the extracted details and confirm before saving an invoice draft. Government or Peppol submission is not live in this early-access release. Production sending and receiving will be enabled after provider onboarding and validation.

What do the planned allowances include?

Invoice allowances are intended to count sent and received documents together, for one business. One AI assist is planned to cover one invoice extraction with up to two follow-up corrections, using up to two audio minutes or three document pages. A delivered WhatsApp reply counts towards the reply allowance. Proactive template messages and extra usage will be quoted separately before purchase. These limits will apply when paid plans launch.

Will I be charged when I create an account?

No. The Free plan never takes a payment, and there is no onboarding fee. Early access does not activate a paid subscription. The displayed amounts are planned monthly launch prices, excluding VAT where applicable. Final availability and plan terms will be confirmed before you subscribe.
