๐ฏ What SahelBooks is
SahelBooks is a simplified accounting app designed for small business owners and startup founders. It helps you manage your finances and inventory, create simplified invoices, and track expenses โ saving you both time and money. You don't need accounting experience or a team of accountants to run your business with it. The app is easy to use and easy to set up, and it is approved by the Zakat, Tax and Customs Authority.
๐ฏ Do you need a SahelBooks account?
Yes. Having your own SahelBooks account unlocks the features that matter most โ managing income and expenses, watching inventory, storing and organizing your invoices, and pulling financial reports on your business. You can start today and sign up free for a 14-day trial, and you register by installing the app from inside the Salla App Store.
