Bookkeeping & Cash Flow · Dubai

Dubai books that stay current. Not reconstructed.

Most SMEs discover their bookkeeping gap at filing time. That is the worst possible moment.

What's covered

Clean books, every single month.

We reconcile continuously rather than in a quarterly rush, so the numbers you look at on the 10th are the numbers that were true on the 30th.

◈

Daily bookkeeping

Transactions recorded as they happen, not batched at quarter end. Categorisation stays consistent, so month-on-month comparisons actually mean something.

▤

WhatsApp receipt capture

Photograph a receipt and send it. It reaches your books the same day, which is the only receipt process people actually stick to.

⇄

Bank reconciliation

Accounts reconciled regularly so errors and duplicates surface early rather than at year end.

▦

Monthly statements

Profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow, delivered and explained rather than just filed.

↺

Backlog clearance

Months or years behind? We work through it in order and bring you current before anything else.

375,000The AED threshold where VAT registration becomes mandatory. You cannot know you have crossed it without current books.
7Years you must retain accounting records under UAE tax legislation.
1,000The AED penalty for a first late VAT return — usually caused by the books, not the return.

Questions

Straight answers.

We are months behind. Can you still help?

Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons businesses come to us. Backlog work is quoted separately based on volume and the state of the records, and we work through periods in order so that VAT positions are corrected properly rather than patched.

Do we have to change accounting software?

Usually not. We work with what you already use where it is fit for purpose, and only recommend a change when the current setup is actively causing problems.

How does the WhatsApp receipt collection work?

You photograph a receipt or forward an invoice to our number. It is logged against your records the same working day. It sounds small, but it is the difference between a shoebox in March and books that are already done.

Will you handle our VAT returns as well?

Yes. Bookkeeping and VAT filing work far better together than apart, because the return is only as good as the records underneath it. Filing can be included in your monthly plan.

Who actually does the work?

Your account is run by a qualified team under Chartered Accountant supervision, with a named point of contact rather than a general inbox.
