Expense management that finance can close from

In most Qatar companies, expenses arrive as photos on WhatsApp, are approved by a reply, and are typed into accounting weeks later. Zoho Expense replaces that with capture on the phone, policy checks at entry, approvals that route themselves, and a journal that posts into Zoho Books with the VAT split out.

We configure it around your policies: categories, limits, per diem by city, mileage rates, project and cost-centre tagging, and approval chains by department and amount. Corporate cards feed transactions for matching where the bank supports it. Employees see status in Arabic or English; finance sees a reimbursement run rather than a pile of receipts.

Zoho Expense is usually deployed with Books and People so reimbursements can run through payroll where you prefer.

What finance teams tell us

“Receipts arrive on WhatsApp”

Photos, replies and a spreadsheet nobody reconciles.

“Policies exist on paper only”

Limits and per diems are checked after the money is spent.

“Approvals take weeks”

Managers travel, claims wait, and staff chase.

“VAT on expenses is lost”

Receipts without tax detail mean unrecovered input VAT.

What it costs

We do not publish a price, because the honest answer depends on scope. What we can publish is exactly what you will be paying for, and which part usually gets forgotten.

Cost	What it is	When it lands	What moves it
Licences	Per user or per app, published by the vendor	Annual or monthly	User count and which apps you actually need
Implementation	Discovery, configuration, migration, training	One-off, largest cost in year one	Branches, data quality, integrations
Support / AMC	Ongoing help after go-live	Annual	How much you want handled for you
Your team's time	Decisions, testing, data clean-up	Throughout	Real even though it appears on no quote

Why businesses pick us

Partner on four platforms, not one

We are a Zoho, Odoo, ERPNext and ManageEngine partner and also implement Salesforce. If Zoho Expense is the wrong fit for the problem you described, we will say so before you buy licences rather than after.

Arabic and English in one system

Interface, documents and reports in both, which matters when the team works in Arabic and management reads reports in English.

Configured for Qatari practice

Invoicing workflows configurable around GTA e-invoicing, VAT treatment set at entry, and payroll outputs shaped for WPS and GRSIA.

We stay after go-live

The first month-end close surfaces everything the scoping missed. Most of the real value of an implementation is delivered in those weeks.

A team in Doha, not a ticket queue

Consultants you can meet, in your timezone and your working week, who scoped the project and then configured it.

We will tell you not to buy

If the problem is your data or your process rather than your software, a new licence will not fix it. We say that early.
