## Selection criteria, before the product name

“What is the best accounting software in Iraq?” has no single product name for every business. A small single-branch shop with modest daily sales needs a different tool from a company with branches, a till, inventory and dinar-and-dollar accounts. Use the table below as a checklist, then choose the type of solution.

We cover the two currencies in [dinar-and-dollar accounting](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/blog/dinar-dollar-accounting), branch control in [multi-branch control](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/blog/multi-branch-control), tills when the network drops in [offline POS](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/blog/offline-pos), and the difference between accounting software and ERP in [ERP or accounting software](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/blog/erp-vs-accounting-software).

### Criteria for choosing accounting software when you have branches or a till
| Criterion | Why it matters | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Dinar and dollar | Invoices, entries and reports must keep the correct currency | Does every transaction carry its currency and rate? Can you revalue? |
| Branches | Management needs a consolidated view without one branch blocking another | One database, per-branch permissions, and consolidated reports |
| Offline POS | Network drops are common, and sales cannot wait | Can the till and warehouse work offline and sync later? |
| Invoices and stock | An invoice that does not deduct stock creates month-end discrepancies | Does a sale update inventory and the accounts at the same moment? |
| Permissions | Cashier, accountant and manager do not need the same screens | Clear roles and a log of who changed what |
| Reports | Decisions need live figures, not a manual compilation | Profit, stock and receivables per branch and for the company |
| Code ownership | So you are not tied to one vendor if you later want to extend or move the system | Do you own the source code after delivery, as the source-code ownership article explains? |

## Ready-made, free, global or custom: when does each fit?

If you have one simple shop, limited stock, and accounts that do not need branches or a connected till, ready-made accounting software — paid, or free within its limits — may be enough. It is faster to start and cheaper in the first month, but it tightens when branches multiply or the accountant starts re-keying what already happened at the till or in the warehouse.

Packaged global systems (including Odoo) are powerful and suit standard processes and a budget that can cover licensing, customisation and a local specialist. We explain pricing and Iraqi localisation gaps in [Odoo or a custom ERP](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/blog/odoo-vs-custom-erp-iraq), and compare options with dated sources in [ERP systems in Iraq compared](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/blog/erp-systems-iraq-compared).

A custom system suits a company that wants the software to follow its processes, the till, stock and accounts to be connected, and the code to be theirs after delivery. That is Al-Arjan’s path in Baghdad, through the [ERP service](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/services/erp).

## What you risk with free software and no clear limits

Free software can be enough for a trial or a small shop. The risks show later, when the data grows or something breaks: where is the backup kept, who answers if the edition stops, and can you export every entry and balance in a format another system can open?

Without a support contract, a clear export path and precise permissions, you are placing the company’s accounts on a tool that may stop or change its terms without a written notice. That does not mean every free tool is bad; it means its limits must be clear before it becomes the company’s official ledger.

## What Al-Arjan builds in a unified accounting system

In Baghdad, Al-Arjan builds a system that brings finance, inventory, purchasing, sales, POS, HR and reporting together; you choose only the modules you need. It starts from $3,000, core modules usually take 3 to 6 months, and the client owns the source code in full after delivery. The final quote follows scope approval; details are on the [pricing page](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/pricing) and in [how much an ERP costs in Iraq](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/blog/erp-cost-iraq).

Capabilities stated on the service page include dinar-and-dollar accounting, multi-branch operation, offline use for POS and warehouses, batches and expiry dates, biometrics and payroll, and an audit log. For a published warehouse project — not a full accounting case study — see the [Dalal Al-Misk warehouse system](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/work/dalal-al-misk-inventory). If you are moving from spreadsheets, start with [Excel to ERP](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/blog/excel-to-erp).

## Giturn’s published ERP prices (checked 2026-11-09)

Giturn’s two official pages publish two different ERP figures, so we cite both and do not pick one. The [ERP in Iraq page](https://giturn.com/erp-system-iraq.html) states that the production version starts from $9,500 (accounting, inventory and receivables), with implementation in 4–6 weeks for SMEs and 8–12 weeks for multi-branch organisations. The [pricing page](https://giturn.com/pricing.html) lists the Scale package at $7,500 for a large project (an ERP, a multi-vendor marketplace or an advanced app) in 8–12 weeks. We opened both pages on 2026-11-09.

Faya Dev does not publish an ERP price on its site, as noted in [software companies in Iraq compared](https://www.al-arjan.com/en/blog/software-companies-iraq-compared) (first checked 2026-10-25). The figures are for comparison of what is published only; they are not a ranking or a judgement of quality.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the best free accounting software in Iraq?

There is no free package that is “best” for every shop. A free tool may be enough for a trial or a single shop with light activity, but before you make it the official ledger, check backups, data export, and who will answer when something breaks. If you have branches, a till, or dual-currency accounts, you will usually need a broader system than a free tool.

### Does the accounting system work offline?

In Al-Arjan systems, offline mode can be enabled for POS and warehouses, with automatic sync when the connection returns. That capability is as stated on the ERP service page.

### Does the system support dinar and dollar?

Yes. Al-Arjan accounting systems record every transaction in its own currency, with revaluation and dual-currency reports, as set out on the ERP service page and in the dinar-and-dollar accounting article.

### What does an accounting system for several branches cost?

An Al-Arjan ERP starts from $3,000, and core modules usually take 3 to 6 months. The final cost depends on the number of branches, modules and customisation, and is fixed after the scope is agreed, as the pricing page explains.
