Qatari AI platform Kifal, which focuses on business setup and compliance, has announced a strategic partnership with JAR Accounting & Auditing, a Qatar-registered audit and advisory firm. This collaboration aims to tackle a significant challenge for founders and SMEs in the country by providing streamlined access to accredited professional support. Kifal is currently incubated at the Digital Incubation Center (DIC) under the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.
Addressing Qatar’s Compliance Challenge
Founders and small to medium-sized enterprises in Qatar often face a complex and fragmented regulatory environment. Navigating this landscape without reliable, affordable, and accredited support can lead to costly compliance errors and hinder business growth. The partnership between Kifal and JAR directly addresses this pain point by creating a unified and accessible solution.
Integrating Expertise for Seamless Support
The collaboration will integrate JAR’s advisory services as a verified provider on the Kifal platform. This allows founders using Kifal to seamlessly connect and engage with accredited professionals for critical financial compliance needs. Services covered include mandatory annual audits, corporate tax filings, and other essential financial reporting requirements, supporting businesses from incorporation through to their ongoing regulatory obligations.
“We are building Kifal’s agentic-AI platform to remove ambiguity for founders, so the next step is always clear,” said Abdul Qavi, Co-Founder and CEO of Kifal. “Founders need practical clarity, not just information. This partnership with JAR embeds accredited, professional expertise directly into that process, supporting sustainable growth through stronger, more accessible compliance.”
Jobara Abdullah Alromaihi, Founder of JAR Accounting & Auditing, added, “Our role is to apply professional rigour while keeping the process straightforward. That balance helps young companies move with confidence and stay aligned with regulatory expectations.”
Bolstering Qatar’s Startup Ecosystem
This initiative complements national efforts to build a more resilient and competitive private sector, aligning with the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030. Kifal acknowledged the vital support from both the Digital Incubation Center and Qatar Development Bank (QDB) through its Talent Community programme. The company is set to launch publicly in Qatar in early November 2025, with plans to expand into Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the first quarter of 2026.
