One month in Books

From the invoice to month-end, step by step

Six things happen in every accounting month. In Books each one is a journal entry, and every entry is tied to its source.

01 / 06
Issue a tax or simplified invoice

A quote becomes an invoice in one click: QR code, hash chain, and a document in Arabic and English with Hijri and Gregorian dates.

02 / 06
It goes to Fatoora and comes back with a status

Signed UBL 2.1 XML, cleared or reported, and its status — accepted or rejected — in front of you, with no middleman.

03 / 06
The customer pays, the receipt closes the invoice

A card payment link or a bank transfer. The receipt is allocated oldest-first and receivables fall by themselves.

04 / 06
The bank statement matches itself

Paste the statement or upload the file. Rules you wrote once match what they recognise, and you close the difference at zero.

05 / 06
The VAT return in ZATCA's box order

The return's figures come from the books themselves, not a side sheet. Output, input and net — ready to file.

06 / 06
Close the month, and nobody edits it after

A locked period, entries that are reversed rather than edited, and an audit log that says who changed what and when.

The assistant · Ask your books

Ask your books in plain words, and let them do the work — with your say-so

An assistant inside the product that reads your books and answers with their real figures: who owes us, what the profit is, how much VAT is due. And it does the bookkeeping from one sentence — an invoice, a receipt, an expense, a journal — writing nothing until it has shown you the exact amounts and you have agreed.

  • Every figure in an answer comes from the books themselves, never from memory
  • Every action is shown with its exact amounts before it is written, and can be undone after
  • It sees only what your permission sees, and respects locked periods and issued documents
  • It runs inside the Kingdom on Oracle Cloud; your data never leaves

The assistant never issues an invoice or posts a journal on its own: you are the one who clicks «yes».

Inside the product

Eleven pillars, one subscription

Everything below is built inside the product today — no third-party units.

Basmtak Books app — Your books, in your pocket
The Basmtak Books app

Your books in your pocket — not a copy of them

The app reads from the same books and writes to them. What you issue on the phone is on the web the same second — same permissions, same entries.

An invoice from the phone

Invoices, quotes, receipts and payment vouchers, from wherever you are.

Snap the expense

The camera reads the supplier, amount and date; it stays a draft until a person confirms it.

Fatoora from the phone

Onboarding and every invoice's status — rejections surface on the home screen.

One client or fifty: one dashboard

Sign in once across every client. The dashboard ranks them by who is furthest behind, and month-end close runs over all of them at once.

  • Bulk month-end close across every client
  • Per-client permissions: who prepares, who reviews
  • Every invited seat counts against the client's subscription seats; the firm dashboard is on every plan

The family advantage

Payroll arrives posted from Basmtak HR

If you run Basmtak HR, an approved payroll run creates the accrual, the payment and the GOSI entries in your books — split by branch and department, and tied to its source so it can never post twice.

  • The accrual and payment entries from the approved run
  • The company's GOSI share on its own line
  • A line per branch and department — cost centres by themselves

This one is for Basmtak HR customers. The rest of the product works fully without it.

Common questions

Before you start

What is Basmtak Books, and who is it for?

Arabic-first cloud accounting software for businesses in Saudi Arabia — from a single shop or practitioner to a group of companies — and for accounting firms that keep many clients' books. It covers invoicing, e-invoicing integrated with ZATCA's Fatoora platform, the VAT return, purchases, bank reconciliation, inventory and reports, in Arabic and English.

How much does Basmtak Books cost?

Plans start at 79 SAR a month per business on annual billing, before 15% VAT; monthly billing costs a little more. E-invoicing and the VAT return are in every plan, and you can try the full Pro plan for 14 days with no card.

Which devices does it run on, and does it work offline?

It runs in the browser on any computer, Windows or Mac, and in the Basmtak Books app for iPhone and iPad; there is no Android app. It is a cloud service, so it needs an internet connection. A shop counter that must keep selling when the connection drops can use Basmtak Cashier, which sells offline and posts every shift to your books.

Do I need an accountant to use Basmtak Books?

No. A shop owner issues invoices, follows the bank and files the VAT return without ever seeing a journal — the entries post themselves behind the screen as balanced double entry. And if you do have an accountant, they get the full general ledger, manual journals and trial balance.

Is e-invoicing included?

In every plan, no exception. Phase 1 works from your first invoice, and phase 2 — the Fatoora link, signing, clearance and reporting — is built inside the product itself, with no third-party unit.

Where is my data hosted?

In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, on Oracle Cloud in Jeddah, with full isolation between establishments and an audit log of every change. We handle your data in line with the Personal Data Protection Law.

How do I move from my current software?

The migration wizard reads your current software: a live pull where the source offers an API, and by file from the rest, Excel included. It suggests the mapping, shows a preview before anything is written, and applies in one transaction you can undo.

Is there a mobile app?

Yes — Basmtak Books for iPhone and iPad. It reads and writes the same books: invoices, vouchers, expenses from the camera and reports, and you sign in by scanning a QR from the web, then with Face ID.

What happens after the free trial?

14 days with no card, on the full Pro plan. Then you pick the plan that fits or stop — your books stay readable and exportable either way.

Try it on your own books

14 days, no card, and you can import your real balances on day one.

No credit card. We activate your account within business hours, and your 14 free days start the moment we do.
