UAE corporate tax now requires records that support the positions taken in the return, free zone entities must track qualifying versus non-qualifying income to keep the 0% rate, and VAT returns must be filed on time. Getting the accounting function right from the start is risk management, not a cost.
We work with businesses at any stage: pre-revenue startups, established SMEs, UAE subsidiaries of foreign groups and free zone entities: on a monthly retainer or project basis.
Bookkeeping and Oversight
Bookkeeping and Periodic Accounting
Day-to-day transaction recording, bank reconciliations, payables and receivables management and month-end close: structured to support VAT filing, corporate tax preparation and group reporting, including backlog accounting and prior-period reconstruction.
Accounting Review and Supervision
A senior review layer for businesses with in-house bookkeepers: periodic oversight, sign-off on reconciliations and coaching, flagging errors before they compound and putting in the procedures that prevent them recurring.
Audit Readiness
Year-end audit readiness including financial statement preparation, supporting schedules and working papers, plus end-to-end coordination with statutory auditors to resolve observations and achieve a clean, timely sign-off.
Tax and Compliance Records
UAE Corporate Tax Record-Keeping
Books maintained to substantiate the positions taken in the corporate tax return, with the 9% rate above AED 375,000, the Qualifying Free Zone Person 0% conditions and related-party transfer pricing documentation kept in mind from the outset.
VAT Accounting
UAE VAT compliance built into the bookkeeping process: correct classification of zero-rated, exempt, standard-rated and out-of-scope supplies from the point of entry, with registration above AED 375,000 (voluntary from AED 187,500) and timely return filing.
Reporting and Operations
Management Reporting
Monthly or quarterly management accounts in IFRS format: profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow and variance analysis: tailored to a board pack, investor update or parent-company consolidation, with budgeting and forecasting support available.
Fixed Assets, Inventory and Costing
Fixed asset register maintenance, inventory reconciliation for trading and manufacturing businesses, and costing review where margin analysis matters: areas frequently undermanaged and among the first flagged in an external audit.
Treasury and Cash Management
Payables and receivables management, cash flow monitoring and basic treasury support, setting up and maintaining the reporting structures that give visibility over the cash position and working capital cycle.
How We Work
We use your existing accounting software or help you set up a UAE-appropriate system from scratch. Reporting is delivered on agreed dates. Engagements are monthly retainer or project-based and scale with your business as it grows.
