Accounting and Finance Software Built for Bahrain Businesses

Financial records should be accurate, current and easy for owners to understand. Friend Tech builds accounting and finance systems that connect invoicing, payments, expenses and reporting, so your accountant spends less time on data entry and management gets a clear view of cash and profitability.

Overview

Finance that reflects what is really happening

In many SMEs, the accounts are updated at the end of the month from a pile of invoices, receipts and bank statements. By the time the figures are ready, they describe the past. Owners ask simple questions such as who owes us money, what we owe suppliers this week or how profitable a branch was, and the answer takes days.

An accounting system that is connected to daily operations changes that. Sales invoices, supplier bills, payments and expenses are recorded as they happen, and financial reports are available whenever you need them. Friend Tech develops accounting software for Bahrain businesses that want that clarity without adopting a complex international package.

Core accounting and finance features

General ledger and structure

A chart of accounts built for your business, journal entries with approvals, cost centres for branches, departments or projects, and financial periods with closing controls.

Receivables and payables

Customer invoices, credit notes, receipts and ageing reports, alongside supplier bills, payment scheduling and statements. Automatic reminders for overdue customer balances can be sent by email.

Banking and cheques

Bank accounts, transfers and reconciliation against imported statements. Post-dated cheque management, still widely used in Bahrain, tracks cheques received and issued with due-date alerts.

Expenses, budgets and assets

Petty cash and expense claims with receipts attached, budgets compared with actual spending, and a fixed asset register with depreciation schedules.

VAT and reporting

Tax invoices and VAT reports designed to support Bahrain's 10% VAT requirements, together with trial balance, profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow reports. The system supports your accountant and auditor; it does not replace professional tax or accounting advice, which should come from a qualified advisor.

Bilingual, multi-currency and multi-branch

Invoices and statements can be issued in Arabic, English or both. Figures are kept in BHD with multi-currency transactions for companies that buy or sell in other currencies, and branch-level reporting sits alongside consolidated company results.

Part of a connected system

Accounting is most useful when it receives data directly from the rest of the business. Our finance systems can connect to a POS system for daily sales, to inventory for stock valuation and cost of sales, and to payroll for salary journals. For companies that want every function in one platform, accounting forms the core of our ERP and business management systems. Every entry keeps an audit trail showing who created or changed it and when.

Data from your current software or spreadsheets can be migrated with opening balances checked before go-live. Request a quote to discuss your finance requirements.
