DEPARTMENT ยท FINANCE

Software that closes the books on time, every month.

We build software for finance teams of UAE companies. FP&A platforms, billing systems, AR/AP automation, treasury tools and tax tooling that fit on top of your ERP. Our Dubai-based engineers know SAP, Oracle, NetSuite and Zoho, understand FTA VAT and corporate tax, and write code your auditors are happy to look at.

How we approach finance work

Built for the auditor and for the CFO, not just the dashboard.

Finance software has two audiences: the team that uses it every day to close the month, and the auditor who needs every entry traced. We build for both from sprint one, and we treat double-entry consistency as a hard rule, not a nice-to-have.

Close in 3 days
Default target on the platforms we ship. From 10+ days down to single digits.

Immutable audit logs wired before features ship, not after the first review.

What you'll see in six months

Real numbers from finance clients.

These are ranges from real engagements. We measure them because retainers depend on them.

3 days
To close the books

Default target for the platforms we ship. From 10 to 15 days down to single digits, with the audit trail intact.

โˆ’70%
Manual reconciliation hours

Bank, intercompany and ledger reconciliation move from spreadsheets to automated matching with exceptions surfaced.

99.8%

B2B billing pipelines with idempotent processing. Disputed invoices drop, DSO improves, finance stops chasing.

90 days
To FTA-ready returns

From kickoff to a VAT return pipeline with full audit replay and a clean handover to your tax advisor.

Our tech choices for finance

Boring stacks your auditor already trusts.

We pick stacks that integrate cleanly with the ERPs UAE finance teams already run. Low drama where it matters, low cost everywhere else.

ERP integration

SAP SuiteCloud connectors, Oracle Fusion APIs, NetSuite SuiteScript, Zoho Books API. Two-way sync with conflict rules your controller signs off on.

Next.jsReactTypeScriptTailwindshadcn/uiReact Native
Ledger & data

Postgres for the source of truth, dbt for finance models the team can read, Airbyte and Hightouch for ERP and bank pipelines.

NodeGoPythonGraphQLgRPCOpenAPI
Billing & payments

Stripe Billing and Maxio for SaaS revenue. Custom B2B billing for contract revenue. Idempotent webhook handling as the default.

PostgresRedisKafkaClickHousedbtSnowflake
Reporting & BI

Metabase and Looker for the day-to-day. Replayable event store underneath, so an auditor's question against last quarter's data does not disrupt this month's close.

RAGEvalsVector DBLLM RoutingGuardrails
Cloud & ops

AWS Bahrain or Dubai region for UAE data residency. Terraform, Datadog and PagerDuty for the operational layer your CFO never has to think about.

Small decisions, big impact

The choices that survive audit.

Finance platforms live or die by a few decisions made in the first quarter. We focus there and leave clever for the analytics layer.

01
Double-entry as a hard rule

Every transaction debits and credits with a single atomic write. Mismatched entries cannot be committed. Your controller never has to ask if the ledger balances.

02
Idempotent payment processing

Webhooks from Stripe, banks and ERPs can arrive twice. Our pipelines treat re-delivery as normal, never as a duplicate charge or duplicate journal entry.

03
Immutable audit logs

Append-only event store as the source of truth. Re-derive any VAT return, any AR aging, any P&L by replaying events through a new processor. Auditors love this.

How an engagement runs

From first call to a clean month-end close.

Week 1
Listen & learn

Sit with the controller, walk the close checklist, read the ERP chart of accounts, talk to billing, AR, AP and tax. We listen for the reconciliations that always slip and the workbook only one person understands.

Week 2
Written plan

Milestones, risks, and what we would do first. Including the work we would recommend you do not do this quarter.

Week 3
We start shipping

Our senior pod is in your repos shipping production features. Your team owns the merges, we own the cadence.

Quarterly
Outcome reviews

Measured against the outcomes we agreed on. The people who start with you are the same people in month six.

What our finance clients say
SKIMBOX rebuilt our billing pipeline and intercompany reconciliation in one quarter. Our month-end close dropped from twelve days to three, and our VAT returns stopped being a fire drill.

FAQ

The questions we hear most often.

Yes. Our team has shipped VAT return pipelines and corporate tax computation tooling for UAE-resident groups since the corporate tax rollout in 2023. We work alongside your tax advisors, build the audit trails the FTA actually looks at, and rehearse e-invoicing readiness ahead of mandate dates.
