Bookkeeping services for your company in the UAE
Ongoing bookkeeping for UAE companies: digital receipt capture, bank reconciliation, IFRS-compliant posting and monthly reports. Fixed price from AED 990 per month.
Every company in the UAE must keep books and retain records for several years, even with no revenue at all. We run your bookkeeping digitally: you upload receipts, we post them IFRS-compliant, reconcile the bank and deliver a monthly balance sheet, profit and loss account and cash flow statement.
Does my Dubai company need bookkeeping at all?
Yes. The obligation to keep books attaches to the existence of the company, not to its revenue. A company that has not invoiced a single client still has to keep and retain records. Companies that discover this shortly before a deadline pay twice: once for the catch-up work and once for being late.
The second reason is practical. Without clean books you cannot file a tax return or prepare financial statements, and in an audit the burden of proof sits with you, not with the authority.
What does ongoing bookkeeping include with us?
We work fully digitally. You send receipts as a photo, a PDF or a bulk upload, everything after that happens on our side.
- Digital receipt capture and matching to the correct entries
- Automatic bank reconciliation across all accounts and currencies
- IFRS-compliant posting, so the books are auditable and not merely tidy
- Monthly reports with balance sheet, profit and loss and cash flow
- An English-speaking contact you can reach on WhatsApp
How does working together start?
In the first call we clarify legal form, free zone, turnover size and whether anything is outstanding from earlier periods. We then set up the software and either take over your existing chart of accounts or build a clean one. From the first full month the bookkeeping runs on a fixed rhythm.
Where books from previous periods are missing, we bring them up to date first. That is the most common situation for companies that started their first year without an accountant.
What does good bookkeeping prepare you for?
From 2027 invoices in the UAE must be exchanged electronically and in a structured format. That only works with clean master data, meaning complete customer records, correct tax numbers and consistent invoice formats. Companies that post properly today have already done most of that transition.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need bookkeeping if my company had no revenue?
Yes. The obligation to keep and retain records applies regardless of turnover. A dormant company still has to keep books and retain its documents. Registration and filing duties with the tax authority do not fall away either.
How do I send you my receipts?
Digitally, as a photo or PDF, individually or in bulk. You do not need to keep folders or sort anything. We match receipts to entries and come back to you when something is missing.
What does ongoing bookkeeping cost?
Our plans start at AED 990 per month for founders and freelancers and scale with the number of bank transactions. All plans can be cancelled monthly and include the reports. The full breakdown is on our pricing page.
Can you catch up on previous years?
Yes, that is one of our most common cases. We work through past periods, bring the books to an auditable state and then take over the ongoing work. It always makes sense before a deadline, not after one.
Do you work with my existing software?
Usually yes. In the first call we check whether your system meets the requirements, in particular with a view to the coming e-invoicing mandate. If a change makes sense we say so openly and handle the migration.
