Bahrain note
If your accountant already uses Tally, it can stay the books system, but Tally's own site does not describe Bahrain VAT support; ask a Tally partner to show a Bahrain VAT return before buying.

Bahrain note
Zoho runs a Bahrain edition with VAT reports and Arabic, and its Bahrain prices are lower than its US prices. Run it alongside a site or project tool rather than expecting it to manage jobs.
