Tell us about your business and we will explain what support you need and what it involves.
We support day-to-day bookkeeping, bank reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, month-end close, VAT, corporate tax coordination and payroll. You can choose one service or combine several into a single agreed plan.
In most cases, yes. UAE businesses, including many free zone companies, are generally required to register with the Federal Tax Authority, even if they expect little or no tax to be payable. Your deadline depends on factors such as your incorporation or licence date, and late registration may attract an AED 10,000 penalty. We can check your situation and tell you what applies to you.
VAT registration is generally mandatory once your taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 over the previous 12 months, and voluntary registration may be possible from AED 187,500. Thresholds and rules can change, so we confirm your position against the current FTA requirements before advising you.
Yes. We can prepare payroll calculations, payslips and payroll reports, and support agreed WPS-related tasks. You send us attendance and any changes each month, and we confirm the details with you before anything is finalised.
Our monthly packages start at AED 499 for Accounting Essentials, with Business Pro at AED 999 and custom pricing for the Full CFO Suite. Final pricing is confirmed after we review your requirements, and we agree the scope, fees and exclusions with you before work begins.

Yes. We support mainland companies, free zone businesses, startups and growing SMEs. Requirements can differ depending on where your company is licensed, so we set up the process around your own situation.
We start with a short conversation about your business, current records and priorities. You then receive a proposed scope with deliverables, timelines and fees. Only once you are happy with it do we begin work, and there is no obligation in the initial consultation.
