Accounting Software at Kounted
Kounted uses Xero as its primary accounting platform for all bookkeeping and accounting clients. Xero is a cloud-based accounting platform used by over 3 million businesses worldwide.
Why Xero?
- Cloud-based — accessible from any device, anywhere
- Real-time bank feeds — transactions import automatically from most UAE banks
- Multi-currency support — essential for UAE businesses trading internationally
- Strong VAT and reporting modules suited to UAE compliance requirements
- Integrates with payroll, expense management, and CRM systems
Your Access as a Client
All bookkeeping clients receive read-only access to their Xero account. This means you can:
- View your P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow at any time
- See individual transactions and invoices
- Download reports in PDF or Excel format
- Track outstanding customer invoices
Kounted manages all data entry, reconciliation, and configuration. You do not need any prior Xero experience.
Can I Use My Own Accounting Software?
If you are already using Xero, QuickBooks, or another platform, we can work within your existing system. However, our standard workflows are optimised for Xero and migration to Xero is recommended for new clients.
What About Payroll Software?
Payroll is managed via a separate WPS-compliant platform integrated with our payroll process. Payroll data feeds into Xero for accounting purposes.
Is There a Software Fee?
Kounted covers the Xero subscription cost for all retainer clients. There is no additional software charge.
