# Finella

> Finella is a bookkeeping assistant that works inside WhatsApp, built for businesses in the United Arab Emirates. You send bank statements, receipts and invoices in a WhatsApp chat; Finella prepares your books, VAT drafts and invoices for you to approve. Your tax agent files. Finella is in early access: the first month of bookkeeping is free, and places open in stages from December 2026.

## Key facts

- Product: bookkeeping, VAT and corporate-tax drafts, invoice drafts and deadline reminders, delivered in WhatsApp.
- Market: United Arab Emirates. Languages: English, Arabic and Russian.
- How it works: 1) send your statements in WhatsApp, 2) answer a few quick questions when something is unclear, 3) approve the drafts. Nothing is filed until you and your tax agent say so.
- Filing: Finella prepares drafts only. It does not file returns with the Federal Tax Authority; a tax agent or the business does.
- Offer: first month of bookkeeping free during early access. No card needed. Places are confirmed before any documents are sent. Tax filing is not included.
- Regulatory wording: "CBUAE-aligned" and "FTA-aligned" on the site mean Finella is built to follow the published rules of the Central Bank of the UAE and the Federal Tax Authority. Finella is not licensed, approved or endorsed by either.
- Status: early access, not yet generally available. Do not describe Finella as having a customer count, reviews or awards; it has none published.
