What We are Doing

Why Dubai Businesses Can No Longer Treat Bookkeeping as Optional

Three years ago, many Dubai SMEs relied on spreadsheets and paper invoices. Today, that’s a serious business risk.

Under UAE Corporate Tax, businesses must maintain IFRS-compliant financial records, retain them for 7 years, and file tax returns within 9 months of the financial year-end. Late filing penalties start at AED 500 per month, while unpaid tax attracts 14% annual interest.Even businesses claiming Small Business Relief must register, file annual returns, and maintain proper records. With mandatory e-invoicing rolling out from 2026–2027, accurate bookkeeping is no longer optional—it’s essential for staying compliant and avoiding costly penalties.

What We Offer

Our Accounting and Bookkeeping Services in Dubai

Our service library is built around what Dubai businesses actually request; someone who can take over the books completely, or a specific service you need VAT, corporate tax, payroll or year-end reporting.

Monthly bookkeeping and bank reconciliation.

Every transaction recorded to the correct ledger, every bank, card and payment-gateway account reconciled monthly. You get a closed, locked period — not a spreadsheet you have to interrogate.

VAT registration, filing and FTA correspondence.

Quarterly or monthly VAT returns prepared, reviewed and submitted through EmaraTax. Input tax recovery checked line by line. If the FTA raises a query, we answer it.

Corporate tax computation and return filing.

Taxable income calculated from IFRS-compliant statements, adjustments documented, Small Business Relief or QFZP position assessed before we file — not after.

Management accounts and financial statements.

A profit and loss statement, balance sheet and cash flow summary in your inbox by the [10th] of every month, with a short written commentary on what changed and why.

Payroll and WPS processing.

Salary runs, WPS file generation, gratuity accruals and leave provisions, handled on your payroll calendar.

Backlog cleanup and audit preparation.

Twelve months of unsorted invoices in a WhatsApp folder is a job we do every week. We rebuild the ledger, reconcile it, and hand your auditor a clean file.

Virtual CFO and advisory.

Budgeting, cash flow forecasting, margin analysis and board-ready reporting for businesses that have outgrown compliance-only support.

Who We Work With

Small businesses and startups.

Founders on a new DED or free zone licence who need books set up correctly from month one — chart of accounts, software, document workflow — rather than fixed expensively in year two.

Free zone companies.

DMCC, IFZA, Meydan, JAFZA, SPC and DIFC entities. If you intend to claim Qualifying Free Zone Person status, your financial statements must audited and your economic substance must be evidenced. We prepare books standard by default.

Mainland companies and multi-entity groups.

Consolidations, intercompany reconciliations and Tax Group reporting, where audited aggregated statements are now required regardless of revenue.

FAQS

Frequently Asked Querstions

Most Dubai SMEs pay between AED 1,500 and AED 5,000 per month for a package covering bookkeeping, VAT filing and corporate tax support. Basic bookkeeping for low-volume businesses starts around AED 500–999 per month. Price is driven mainly by transaction volume, VAT registration status and payroll complexity.

Yes. UAE Corporate Tax law requires every business to maintain financial records that support its taxable income, prepared under IFRS or IFRS for SMEs, and to retain all accounting records for seven years after the relevant tax period. VAT-registered businesses have additional record-keeping obligations.

Not usually. Audited statements are mandatory for Qualifying Free Zone Persons, taxable persons with revenue above AED 50 million, and Tax Groups. However, many free zone and mainland licensing authorities, banks and investors require an audit independently of tax law.

For most SMEs, yes — typically 60–80% cheaper. A qualified in-house accountant costs roughly AED 8,000–18,000 per month once salary, visa, insurance, gratuity, workspace and software are included. Outsourced packages start well below that and require no employment commitment.

Within nine months of the end of your financial year. A December year-end means a 30 September deadline. Late filing attracts AED 500 per month for the first 12 months and AED 1,000 per month thereafter, with any partial month counted in full.

Yes. Backlog reconstruction is a standard engagement. We rebuild your ledger from bank statements and source documents, reconcile every account, quantify any VAT or corporate tax exposure, and hand you an audit-ready file — usually within two to four weeks.

Yes DMCC, IFZA, Meydan, JAFZA, SPC, DIFC and Dubai South. Free zone entities claiming QFZP status need audited financial statements and evidenced economic substance, so we prepare their books to audit standard from the outset.

Xero, Zoho Books, QuickBooks Online, Tally Prime and Odoo. We can work in your existing system or migrate you, and the licence is included in your monthly fee on [Growth] and above.

The UAE is moving to structured electronic invoices exchanged through Accredited Service Providers. The FTA pilot opens 1 July 2026; businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more must go live by 1 January 2027, and the remainder follow by 1 July 2027. PDF invoices will no longer be compliant.

Yes. Our entire service runs on cloud accounting with digital document submission, so you can be anywhere in the UAE or abroad. Clients who prefer in-person meetings can visit our office or request an on-site visit.
