Financial management
Cloud accounting software
Cloud accounting software keeps the books of a firm or a business online, in one system. It holds the invoices and payments, the bank lines, the budgets, the fixed assets and the exchange rates, with the reports that check them. In jaah, clients pay invoices online, bank lines are reconciled on one screen, and reports export to Excel, PDF or CSV. Law firms also bill their cases, consultations, enforcement files and contracts straight from the legal work.
For law firms, this accounting is one part of jaah law, the law firm management software.
A customer invoice created from a case, with its taxes, its total and what is still due.
Invoices and online payments
Pay a draft online
When the firm allows it, a client can pay a draft invoice online, and it is posted and reconciled once paid.
One link, several invoices
Select a client's open invoices and send one payment link that pays them all, with no sign-in.
Card payments with Moyasar
Saudi merchants take mada, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, UnionPay and STC Pay, and can refund part of a payment.
Pay later with Tamara
Clients in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman pay in instalments, next month or at once.
Fixed and total discounts
Take a fixed amount off a line, or give the whole invoice a fixed or percentage discount spread over its lines.
Thermal receipts
Print an invoice as an 80 mm receipt for a counter's thermal printer.
Invoices by WhatsApp
With WhatsApp connected, invoices and payment receipts go to the client as PDFs, straight from the record.
Bank reconciliation
One reconciliation screen
Each bank line sits beside the invoices and payments it can match, and is reconciled on the same screen.
Bulk actions
Give many bank lines the same partner, account or reconciliation rule in one action.
Reconciliation rules
Saved rules propose or post the counterpart of a bank line, right on the screen.
Write-offs and partial matches
Clear items that do not match exactly: post the difference with its tax, or leave part of an item open.
Clear an account at once
Match an account's equal debits and credits in one action.
Reports that check the books
Customer statements
Show a client what they owe and why: the open items on a date, or every movement of the period.
Aged receivables
See who is late and by how much, client by client, in columns of thirty days.
Trial balance
Each account's opening balance, debits and credits for the period, on one screen.
Tax report
The base and the amount of each tax, sales and purchases apart, for the period you choose.
Drill-down
From a figure, open the journal items behind it.
Excel, PDF or CSV
Export a report for the auditor or for a spreadsheet, in the format each one needs.
The tax report: sales and purchases, each tax with its base and its amount.

Budgets
Budget revisions
Revise an open budget and keep the earlier version, with what it planned and when it changed.
A year in one action
Lay out monthly, quarterly or yearly budgets for a whole year, across the firm's cost centres.
What is left
Each budget line shows what was planned, what is spent and what is still available, and flags an overrun.
Binding budgets
With purchasing, a binding budget refuses a purchase order that would exceed it, and names the overshoot.
Fixed assets and deferrals
Asset register
Equipment, vehicles and fit-out, each depreciated straight-line or declining, with its residual value.
Deferred revenue
Spread an annual fee over the months it covers, from the start and end dates on the invoice line.
Deferred expenses
Spread a prepaid cost, such as rent or insurance, over the months it covers.
Controls and access
Fiscal years
Keep a fiscal year that is not the calendar year, or a shorter or longer first year.
Four access levels
Read-only for every document, invoicing for one's own or for every document, and administrator.
The setup wizard
One guided setup: chart of accounts, banks, taxes, currencies, opening balances and the balances of clients and suppliers.
Currencies and exchange rates
Public rate sources
Rates come from the European Central Bank, the Central Bank of the UAE, Frankfurter and ExchangeRate-API.
A fallback order
The sources are asked in the firm's order, and each currency takes its rate from the first one that has it.
A log of every run
Each update is logged with its result and the rates it wrote, and every rate keeps its source.
Currency by currency
Turn automatic rates on for the company, and keep a manual rate for any currency you choose.
Past rates
Fetch the rates of a past date range from the sources that publish them.
The rate sources, in the order they are asked.

Billing from the legal work
Case fees
Invoice a case for its whole fee or hearing by hearing, and the invoice names the case and its lawyers.
Consultation fees
Bill a consultation from the consultation itself, and closing an unbilled one asks whether to bill it first.
Enforcement fees
Create the invoice from the enforcement file, for the file's client, with the enforcement fees product.
Contract instalments
A valid contract's instalments become draft invoices as their dates come, for the billing team to confirm.
Invoiced and unpaid
Each case, consultation, enforcement file and contract shows the total of its invoices and what is still open on them.
Billing badge
On the cases board, each card shows whether its case is not invoiced, unpaid or paid.
A case's invoices, how it is billed, the total of its invoices and what is still open on them.

Questions about cloud accounting software
What is cloud accounting software?
Software that keeps a business's books online, so invoices, payments, bank lines and reports are reached from a browser, with nothing to install.
Can clients pay invoices online?
Yes, with a connected payment provider: from the invoice's own page, or through one payment link for several invoices. A draft invoice can be paid too, when the firm allows it.
Does jaah connect to my bank?
No. Bank lines are typed in or imported from a spreadsheet file, then reconciled with invoices and payments on one screen.
Can I invoice in other currencies?
Yes. An invoice can be in any active currency, and once the company turns it on, exchange rates arrive by themselves from public sources.
Can my accountant get read-only access?
Yes. The read-only level lets an accountant or an auditor open every accounting document without changing any of them.
Can I start from my opening balances?
Yes. The setup wizard takes the opening balance of each account and the balances of clients and suppliers.
