Accounting software is complicated
Most accounting products were designed around accounting workflows rather than how founders naturally think.
About Qaid
Accounting shouldn't require an accounting degree.
Qaid (قيد — the Arabic word for a ledger entry) was created around a simple idea: running a business is already complicated. Keeping the books shouldn't be.
Traditional accounting software expects business owners to learn accounting workflows. Qaid works the other way round: you talk to it like you would talk to a bookkeeper, and it keeps proper double-entry books underneath.

Our mission
Make accounting understandable to every business owner.
Qaid combines real accounting principles with conversational AI. Behind every simple conversation is structured, double-entry accounting — but the business owner doesn't need to think about the complexity underneath.
The goal isn't to teach founders how to operate accounting software. It's to let them focus on their business while Qaid helps keep their financial records organised and explains them on request.
Why Qaid exists
Three problems we set out to fix.
Bookkeeping takes time
Recording transactions, organising receipts and maintaining books can quickly become another job.
Your numbers should help you
Financial data shouldn't sit inside reports nobody understands. Qaid turns those numbers into answers you can use.

Humans approve
AI drafts; people decide. Nothing posts to your ledger without your approval unless you explicitly turn on Autopilot.
Real accounting
Every entry is a balanced double-entry record. No shortcuts that break at year end.
Say only what's true
We describe what the product does today and label what's planned. No invented reviews, no compliance claims we can't prove.
