The problem
Complete books and useful books are not the same thing
The failure is rarely dramatic. A company posts its transactions, the trial balance balances, and everyone assumes the finance side is handled. Then the corporate tax return falls due and nobody can substantiate the cost of sales. Or the bank asks for two years of audited statements to support a facility and the underlying records will not survive the request. Or an FTA query arrives and the supporting invoices were never filed against the entries.
Under UAE tax law, accounting records must be kept for a minimum of seven years, and corporate tax returns are due nine months after the financial year ends. Businesses above the relevant revenue thresholds must file audited financial statements. None of that is difficult if the ledger is maintained monthly. All of it is expensive if the ledger is reconstructed in a panic.
Behind on your books? Catch-up work is quoted on the state of the records once we have seen them, not from a rate card. It is the most common reason clients call us, and the earlier it is done the smaller the penalty exposure on the filings that depend on it.

Questions
Accounting & Bookkeeping — frequently asked
How far behind can you take on?
We have rebuilt ledgers four years out of date. The work is mechanical: bank statements are the spine, invoices and bills are matched against them, and gaps are queried. What matters is that the underlying documents still exist. If they do not, we reconstruct from bank data and disclose the basis used.
Do you need access to my bank account?
Read-only access or PDF statements. We never need transaction rights, and we will not ask for them. Most clients set up a view-only user or simply email statements monthly.
Which accounting software do you work in?
Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Xero, Tally, Sage, Odoo, SAP, Oracle and Microsoft Dynamics are all in regular use. If you have no system yet we will recommend one that fits your volume and your 2027 e-invoicing obligation.
When do I get my monthly accounts?
By the tenth working day of the following month, provided your bank statements and any missing documents reach us by the third. The date is written into the engagement letter.
Do I need audited financial statements?
It depends on your revenue and your licensing authority. Free zones including DMCC require audited accounts to be filed — DMCC within 180 days of year end — and corporate tax requires audited statements above the relevant revenue threshold. We prepare the file and liaise with the audit firm; the audit report itself is signed by a licensed auditor.
Is my financial data secure?
Records are held in your own accounting platform under your ownership, and documents move through controlled channels. We sign confidentiality terms as part of the engagement letter. We do not store Emirates ID scans or banking credentials in email.
