Wave is great when you’re just starting out—but it lacks the regional features growing businesses in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Bahrain need. With Wafeq, you get built-in VAT tools, Arabic support, and multi-user access—all in a cost-effective platform that’s made for the Middle East.
Wave has served many small businesses with free invoicing and bookkeeping tools. But it doesn’t support VAT filing, Arabic invoices, or many of the compliance requirements now expected in the GCC.
Our Wave to Wafeq migration service helps you move to a platform that’s ready for the next stage of your business. Whether you’re looking for better reporting, local tax compliance, or a more robust accounting system, we handle the migration safely, accurately, and with minimal disruption.
Wafeq offers the accounting features Wave lacks—especially if you’re based in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, or nearby markets. Here’s what makes the move worthwhile:
Easily manage bills, POs, and expense claims from one secure platform.
Process payroll and let staff file expense claims through their own access.
Skip the accountant—Wafeq prepares accurate VAT returns for you automatically.
Track stock in real time and let Wafeq handle your COGS entries with precision.
Know exactly what’s owed and due with real-time updates on payables and receivables.
Create detailed or group-level reports for complete financial visibility and planning.
Migrating to Wafeq lets you eliminate outdated tools, reduce manual work, and take full control of your business finances.
