Questions and answers

No. You need VAT-compliant invoicing and returns, which Zoho Books and similar products provide. Sharaketna can still help partners follow the numbers and their shares.
Is Sharaketna simpler to start with?
Yes. There is no chart of accounts to set up. You create revenue and expense categories, add partners with their shares, and start recording.
