Tackir
An AI-powered finance workspace for GCC freelancers & small businesses
Visit tackir.com ↗
Freelancers and small businesses across the GCC now have to issue FTA-compliant tax invoices, track VAT and prepare for Corporate Tax. But full accounting software is expensive, heavy and built for accountants, not for the people actually running the business.
The result is spreadsheets, shoeboxes of receipts and a constant low-level worry about compliance.
Tackir is a tool I designed and built end-to-end, using AI as a design and engineering partner. It is a proof of how a single product leader can now take an idea from strategy to a live, revenue-ready product.
- [ 01 ]
Product strategy
Narrowed the scope to the four jobs that matter most: issue compliant invoices, capture documents, track VAT and expenses, and see your compliance health at a glance.
- [ 02 ]
Design system first
Built a light/dark design system and component library before screens, so every new feature stayed consistent as the product grew.
- [ 03 ]
AI where it removes work
Document scanning extracts and categorises receipts and invoices automatically, and an AI assistant answers tax questions in plain language. AI is used to remove effort, not to add novelty.
- [ 04 ]
Multi-country tax logic
Invoices, VAT and Corporate Tax rules for the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, designed so the complexity stays out of the user's way.
- [ 05 ]
Ship it for real
Authentication, billing, transactional email and production hosting, taken all the way to a live product at tackir.com.
A live product that turns a compliance burden into a few simple, guided steps.
A working model for how design leadership and AI can compress the path from idea to shipped product.
