  • “Zoho Books for small business, set up my Dubai design studio”

    I need Zoho Books for small business set up properly for my new interior design studio in Dubai. We got our licence three months ago, registered for VAT, and have been invoicing from Word templates, which won't last. Projects mix design fees with furniture we buy and resell, so I need to see margins per project.

    What I'd like: set up Zoho Books with our TRN and VAT settings, a chart of accounts for a design-and-supply business, project tracking, quote and invoice templates with our branding, and bank feeds. Then two training calls for me and my office manager. Please mention how many UAE businesses you've set up on Zoho Books.

  • “Zoho Books migration from Tally with opening balances”

    We're moving our accounting from Tally to Zoho Books and need our masters and opening balances migrated correctly. We're an auto spare parts trader in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi, with about 900 items and 200 customers. Our financial year closes in December and we want to start the new year in Zoho Books cleanly.

    What we need: export customers, suppliers, items and the closing trial balance from Tally, import them into Zoho Books with VAT settings, bring across open invoices and bills, and check that everything ties back to Tally. Then a session to train our two accountants on daily entries. We'll keep Tally read-only for history.

  • “Set up Zoho Books cost centres for our two salon branches”

    I'd like Zoho Books cost centres set up so I can see profit for each of my two beauty salons in Dubai separately. Both run under one licence and one Zoho Books organisation, one in Jumeirah and one in Mirdif, and at the moment I only see combined numbers. I don't know whether branches or reporting tags is the right tool.

    What I'd like: set up branch or tag tracking (explain the trade-off and I'll choose), apply it to sales from our POS exports, staff costs and rent, recode the last three months so I have a baseline, and build a simple monthly profit report per salon. Then a 45-minute call to show my manager how to keep it up.

    AED 1,100
    • Branch or tag tracking set up, with my choice documented
    • Last three months recoded
    • Monthly profit report per salon

  • “Zoho Books learning sessions for me and my new accountant”

    I want Zoho Books learning sessions for me and the junior accountant I just hired, using our own company file. We're a small IT services company in Dubai Silicon Oasis. The previous accountant set up Zoho Books well but left little documentation, and neither of us is confident with bank reconciliation, recurring invoices, VAT reports or month-end.

    What I'd like: three 60-minute video sessions over two weeks, each on a set topic, working in our live file over screen-share with me driving. Short notes after each session. Please tell me how you'd structure the three sessions and whether you've trained UAE teams before.

    AED 900
    • Three 60-minute training sessions in our own file
    • Short notes after each session
    • Month-end checklist

    For: Owner of a small IT services company in Dubai with a new accountant

  • “Zoho Books cost of goods sold tracking for my perfume shop”

    I need cost of goods sold tracked properly in Zoho Books for my online perfume shop in Sharjah. We sell on our own website and on Noon. I buy stock in batches from two suppliers, some of it imported with customs duty, and profit looks great some months and terrible others because purchases are booked straight to expenses.

    What I'd like: switch on inventory tracking, set up about 120 items with opening stock and landed cost (freight and duty), connect our sales so stock moves correctly, and show me how cost of goods sold appears in the profit and loss each month. A 45-minute walkthrough at the end. I'll count the stock myself for the opening figures.

    AED 1,600
    • Inventory tracking set up for about 120 items
    • Landed cost method for freight and duty
    • Monthly COGS in the profit and loss
    • 45-minute walkthrough

    For: Online perfume seller in Sharjah

Good questions

What people ask before they post this in Dubai and the UAE.

  • 01

    How much does Zoho Books cost in Dubai and the UAE?

    Usually AED 400–2,500. Each Tasker names their own price in their offer, so you see the cost before you agree to anything.

  • 02

    What do I need to share for a Zoho Books set-up?

    Your trade licence and TRN certificate, VAT return period, bank details, logo and invoice wording, a list of services and products, and any opening balances from before you started.

  • 03

    Can Zoho Books track profit per project?

    Yes. Its projects feature lets you link time, expenses and invoices to a project, so you can compare income and costs for each one. Some features depend on your plan.

  • 04

    When is the cleanest time to switch accounting software?

    At the start of a financial year or a VAT period, so opening balances come from a closed period and returns don't straddle two systems. Mid-period switches work but need more checking.

  • 05

    What should be migrated from Tally?

    Usually customer and supplier masters, items with opening stock, the closing trial balance, and open invoices and bills. Older transactions often stay in Tally for reference rather than being imported.

  • 06

    Branches or reporting tags in Zoho Books: what's the difference?

    Branches separate transactions by location with their own settings, while reporting tags label transactions for analysis. Branches suit separate outlets; tags suit lighter tracking. Availability depends on your plan.

  • 07

    How does paying work?

    Posting is free. When you accept an offer you pay the agreed price. Your money is held by Taskly until you confirm the task is done. If you don’t, it’s released three days after your Tasker marks it finished — unless you report a problem.

  • 08

    Who are the Taskers?

    People who have done what you need: worked at the company, passed the exam, made the move. Every Tasker is reviewed and approved by a person before they work.

  • 09

    What can’t a Tasker do here?

    Taskers help you prepare and understand. You file from your own account; nobody on Taskly represents you to a tax authority.
