VAT, Corporate Tax, and Audit Accounting Support in Dubai
Use one set of reconciled records from our accounting services in Dubai for monthly accounting, tax preparation, and audit support. Start with the accounting package, then add specialist registration, filing, advisory, or independent audit services only when your company needs them.
Add VAT-Ready Bookkeeping and VAT Filing Support in Dubai
Add VAT-ready bookkeeping to your monthly accounting package. We maintain VAT control accounts, invoice records, and reconciliations, while the FTA VAT registration guidance confirms the standard 5% rate and AED 375,000 mandatory registration threshold, subject to the rules. Add our separate VAT consultancy services in Dubai for registration, return filing, or FTA support.
Add Corporate Tax Accounting and Filing Support in Dubai
Add corporate tax accounting support to receive reconciled ledgers and schedules for tax work. The FTA corporate-tax rate guidance confirms 0% on taxable income up to AED 375,000 and 9% above that threshold, while the final position depends on the company facts. Registration and return filing can be quoted separately. See our corporate tax registration and filing guide for that service workflow.
Prepare Audit-Ready Accounts in Dubai Before the Auditor Requests Them

- Notes and supporting schedules
- Audit-adjustment posting after approval
- Final year-end financial statements and handover documents, where included in the proposal

Our Outsourced Accounting Process in Dubai
Every engagement follows the same five-step process, from your first quote request through to your monthly reports. Each stage has a clear owner and deadline, so you always know what happens next and when.
Request Your Dubai Accounting Services Quote
Share your company type, monthly transaction volume, number of accounts, tax status, backlog, and the reports you need. This gives us enough detail to scope the right package and return an accurate, itemized quote rather than a generic estimate.
Approve the Package and Handover Plan
Your proposal sets out the monthly services included, price, document deadline, close schedule, and deliverables, along with anything priced separately. Once you approve it, the scope is locked in so there are no surprises once work begins.
Complete Setup or Backlog Clean-Up
We confirm the chart of accounts, opening balances, financial period, and software access, and complete any prior-period work needed before the monthly service starts. This step gives your books a reliable starting point, whether you are switching providers or setting up for the first time.
Run the Monthly Bookkeeping and Close
You send your records by the agreed date each month, and we post transactions, reconcile bank, card, and other accounts, and flag any missing items for your approval. The close follows the same schedule every month, so you always know when to expect it.
The close schedule starts when the required records are received. The proposal states the document deadline, target report date, and responsibilities on both sides.

Accounting Services in Dubai FAQs
How much do accounting services cost in Dubai?
The cost of accounting services in Dubai depends on transaction volume, number of accounts, VAT status, backlog, payroll, inventory, currencies, report frequency, and added tax or audit work. Send these details for a tailored monthly quote, or review our accounting outsourcing cost guide before requesting a proposal.
What is included in accounting and bookkeeping services in Dubai?
A monthly accounting package can include transaction posting, ledger maintenance, bank and card reconciliation, receivable and payable tracking, month-end adjustments, and financial reports. VAT, corporate tax, payroll, audit schedules, clean-up, and custom reporting are added only when listed in the proposal.
How often will I receive accounting reports?
Most outsourced accounting services use a monthly close and reporting cycle. Weekly, quarterly, or custom reporting can be added when needed. Your proposal states the document submission date and target report date.
Can you complete backlog accounting and clean up old books?
Yes. We identify the last reliable closing date, available records, accounting software, and unreconciled periods. We then quote the clean-up as a separate project and start the monthly service from the agreed opening balances.
Do accounting services include VAT and corporate tax filing?
Monthly accounting prepares the ledgers, reconciliations, and schedules used for tax work. VAT or corporate tax registration, computation, return filing, advice, and FTA representation are included only when quoted separately. Add our VAT consultancy service or use the corporate tax filing guide for the relevant service route.
Do free zone companies need accounting and bookkeeping?
Yes. We provide free zone company accounting based on the authority, legal form, transaction flow, tax status, related-party activity, and required reports. Audit, tax filing, or authority-specific work is added only where needed.
Can you prepare our company for an external audit?
Yes. Add audit preparation to receive reconciled books, schedules, confirmations, listings, and accounting responses for the appointed auditor. The independent auditor remains responsible for the audit opinion and regulated audit work.
Are companies in Dubai required to keep accounting records?
UAE companies generally need to maintain accounting and tax records based on their legal form, license, transactions, and tax status. An outsourced accounting firm is not mandatory in every case, but it can manage the monthly work needed to keep those records current. The FTA record-retention guidance states that relevant corporate tax records generally must be kept for at least seven years after the related tax period.
Can I outsource accounting instead of hiring an in-house accountant?
Yes. Hire outsourced accounting services in Dubai when you need regular bookkeeping, reconciliations, management reports, and compliance-ready records without building a full internal team. We tailor the package to transaction volume, reporting frequency, internal controls, and management support.
What do you need when we switch accounting providers?
We request the latest trial balance, general ledger, financial statements, tax registrations and returns, bank and card records, receivable and payable listings, fixed assets, software access, and open issues. We then confirm the cut-off date, opening balances, and responsibility for prior periods before starting the monthly service.
