Clean books. Zero spreadsheet chaos.

No. You work with things you recognize, like invoices, receipts, and bank statements, while Midnight Ledger keeps proper double-entry books underneath. If you do speak accountant, the full journal and trial balance are right there.

Then the VAT machinery stays out of your way entirely: no VAT fields on invoices, no return periods, no noise. The dashboard quietly tracks your income against the AED 375,000 registration threshold, so you'll know well before registering becomes mandatory. When you do register, flip the setting and everything appears.

Any bank that lets you download statements as CSV, which is effectively all of them. The importer adapts to different column layouts, and direct bank feeds are on the roadmap.

Every new company starts with 14 days of Pro and no credit card. After that the free plan carries on indefinitely: 100 invoices and up to AED 100,000 of revenue a year for one user, with the VAT return, payroll, reports and exports all included. Pro is AED 99 a month or AED 990 a year per company, and adds unlimited invoicing, team and accountant seats, recurring invoices and card payments on your invoices.

Yes. Invite them to your company with their own login, either full access or a view-only seat. Everything they need for filings and reviews is in one place, and anything else exports to CSV. Team and accountant seats are part of Pro; on the free plan you can still hand them a CSV or the FTA Audit File. If your accountant runs a practice, their firm plan can cover your company instead.

E-invoicing becomes mandatory on 1 January 2027 for businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more, and on 1 July 2027 for everyone else. Midnight Ledger will connect to an Accredited Service Provider before the small business deadline. Your invoices already carry the data the programme requires, so when your turn comes it will be a setting, not a migration.

Not a native one on the App Store or Play Store. Midnight Ledger is a web app that installs to your phone home screen: on Android your browser offers to install it, and on iPhone you use Share then Add to Home Screen. It then opens like an app, with shortcuts straight to a new expense, invoice or quote, and the receipt panel goes to the camera so you can photograph a bill at the till. It needs a connection, because your books live on the server.

Yes. Export your chart of accounts, contacts, price list and closing trial balance from the old system and upload them as they come: Midnight Ledger recognises the column names those products print, and shows you line by line what each file will do before anything is written. Most businesses switch at the start of a VAT period and run both for one period.

Yes. Midnight Ledger has a built-in MCP connector. Add it in Claude or ChatGPT, sign in, pick the company, and the assistant can read your invoices, expenses, VAT return, and reports, and draft documents for you to approve. It can never issue, post, pay, or delete anything. There is a REST API with the same rules for your own scripts.

You take it with you. Every report and record exports to plain CSV files at any time: general ledger, invoices, expenses, the lot. No questions asked.
