Accounting & Bookkeeping

The UAE now runs on records. Clean monthly books are what make VAT returns, Corporate Tax filing and — soon — e-invoicing straightforward instead of stressful.

Why bookkeeping stopped being optional

Before 2023 many small UAE businesses ran on bank statements and instinct. That no longer works. Corporate Tax requires financial records capable of supporting a return; VAT requires transaction-level records and timely filing; and the coming e-invoicing mandate requires structured invoice data and accurate customer master records.

Businesses that keep clean books find each of these obligations routine. Businesses that do not spend the weeks before every deadline reconstructing a year of transactions — usually at higher cost and with weaker positions.

What we do monthly

  • Transaction recording from bank feeds, invoices and receipts
  • Bank reconciliation so the books match reality
  • Accounts receivable and payable tracking
  • VAT-ready records aligned to your filing cycle
  • Management accounts — profit and loss, balance sheet, cash position
  • Corporate Tax readiness — records maintained so the return is a preparation exercise, not an archaeology project

Backlog clean-up

If you are behind — and many businesses are, particularly those that treated the first Corporate Tax period as a problem for later — we can reconstruct and bring prior periods up to date before dealing with current compliance. It is better to know your real position than to estimate it.

Scope note: statutory audit is a separate regulated service performed by licensed audit firms, and representing a taxpayer before the Federal Tax Authority is reserved for FTA-registered Tax Agents. We are explicit about which work we perform directly and where a licensed audit firm or registered Tax Agent is engaged.

How it is priced

Monthly retainers scale with transaction volume and complexity rather than a one-size fee. We quote after seeing your actual volumes — number of bank accounts, monthly transactions, whether you are VAT registered, and how many entities are involved.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Corporate Tax and VAT obligations both depend on maintaining adequate financial records, and record-keeping requirements apply regardless of whether tax is ultimately payable.
Yes — backlog reconstruction is common work, particularly since Corporate Tax began. We rebuild prior periods from bank statements and source documents so you know your true position before addressing current filings.
We prepare the underlying records and the figures your return requires and support you through the process. Representing a taxpayer before the FTA is a regulated role reserved for registered Tax Agents, and we tell you clearly where that applies to your case.
