Every transaction is posted, categorized, and reconciled each month in your cloud software, so your VAT and corporate tax figures are always ready.
Cloud bookkeeping means your books live in accounting software you own and can open at any time, not in spreadsheets or on one accountant's laptop. We post, reconcile, and report on them every month, so the numbers you see are the numbers you file with the FTA.
We work with mainland and free zone companies across Dubai, from a first-year startup in IFZA or DMCC to a trading group with several licenses and currencies. Every UAE company must register for corporate tax, so your books have to support a return each year, and your records must be kept for seven years after each tax period.
After a free consultation, by video or at our Business Bay office, we review your records and set up your software, bank feeds, and a document inbox. Each month you forward receipts and invoices as they arrive, and we close the books on a fixed date and send you a short report.

You get a finance team that never misses a month, without hiring one.
Your books live in online accounting software that you own, and our team keeps them up to date remotely every month. Instead of one salary, you get a team of qualified accountants for a fixed monthly fee, with no gaps when someone is on leave.
Your VAT return figures don't match your ledger, your bank balance doesn't match your books, you can't say who owes you money, or your free zone has asked for audited accounts and you aren't ready. Any one of these is worth a free review.
Yes. Free zone companies must register for corporate tax and file a return every year, even when they pay 0%. Many free zones also ask for audited accounts at license renewal, and an audit needs complete, reconciled books.
At least seven years after the end of each tax period, for corporate tax. Cloud software keeps every record, receipt, and change in one place, so nothing is lost when staff or advisers change.
The one you already use. We work in Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books and Sage, and in Qoyod and Wafeq. No software yet? We recommend one that fits your size, then set it up.
Yes, at any point in the year. We collect your records and software access from your current accountant, check the opening balances, and pick up from the last closed month. You don't have to chase anyone.
You do. The accounting software subscription stays in your company's name, and we work in it through named logins. If you ever move on, we remove our access, and your full history stays with you.
Bank transactions come in through bank feeds, so usually just your sales invoices, supplier bills, and receipts. Forward them to your document inbox as they arrive, and we do the rest.
A fixed monthly fee, based on your transaction volume, number of bank accounts, and whether you need VAT, payroll, or e-invoicing work. You get the quote in writing after a free consultation, and it is usually less than one in-house accountant's salary, visa, and leave cover are counted.
