Accounting & Audit
Accounting & Bookkeeping
Clean books are now a legal requirement in the UAE, corporate tax filings are only as good as the ledger behind them. We run your accounting monthly so year-end is a formality, not an archaeology project.
We maintain your books to IFRS on cloud platforms (Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho), reconcile banks monthly, manage receivables and payables and close each month with management accounts you can actually steer by.
The same ledger feeds VAT returns, corporate-tax computations and the audit, one consistent set of numbers across every authority, prepared once. Backlog cleanups for companies that fell behind are a standing specialty.
What we handle
- Monthly IFRS bookkeeping and reconciliations
- Management accounts and cash-flow reporting
- Receivables, payables and invoicing workflows
- Cloud setup on Xero, QuickBooks or Zoho
- Backlog accounting and cleanup
- Year-end financial statements
Frequently asked questions
Is bookkeeping mandatory in the UAE?
Yes. Corporate tax law requires every taxable person to maintain records supporting their return for seven years, and free zones increasingly require audited accounts at renewal. Clean monthly books are now a legal baseline, not an option.
How much does outsourced accounting cost in Dubai?
SME engagements typically run AED 1,000 to AED 5,000 per month depending on transaction volume and reporting depth, far below the cost of an in-house accountant. Backlog cleanups are scoped and priced as one-off projects.
