Finance & Accounting

Is FlairSuite accounting software VAT-compliant in Bahrain?

FlairSuite applies VAT at the Bahrain rate of 10% per item and per invoice, prints tax-registered invoices and credit notes, and produces VAT sales and purchase reports, by tax code and in detail, that give your accountant the figures for your VAT return to the National Bureau for Revenue (NBR). Reports export to Excel and PDF. Tax settings are configurable, so rate changes do not need new software.

Can FlairSuite handle more than one company?

Yes. Multiple companies, branches or entities can run on one FlairSuite platform with segregated access and consolidated reporting.

Can we move from QuickBooks, Tally, Excel or another system?

Yes. During implementation we migrate your chart of accounts, opening balances, customers, suppliers and agreed historical records from your current system or spreadsheets. The migration scope is fixed in writing after the requirements workshop.

Does it support amounts in BHD with 3 decimals?

Yes. FlairSuite works natively in BHD with 3 decimal places, and supports other currencies for suppliers and customers abroad.
