What Our Bookkeeping Services in Dubai Include

Bookkeeping means recording and organizing every transaction your business makes so your accounts match your bank and your invoices. Our service covers the full cycle from the first receipt to the monthly report. 

Daily Transaction Recording

Our accountants log every day-to-day transaction as it happens. That covers sales and purchases and expenses plus payroll and owner entries. Your invoices and receipts and bank statements supply the source data. Each entry goes to the right account with the right VAT treatment so your return needs no rework later. 

Bank and Credit Card Reconciliation

Once a month we compare your books with your bank and card statements line by line. We flag a supplier paid twice or a card settlement nobody recorded or a bank fee that never reached your ledger. Then we fix each one while the paperwork is still easy to find.

Accounts Payable and Receivable

We show you what you owe your suppliers and what your customers owe you. Aging reports help you see what invoices are overdue between 30 and 90 days so that you can follow up on overdue bills and prioritise where to allocate your funds. We develop invoicing systems that are compliant with all UAE mandates to prevent mistakes on the spot.

Ledger and Trial Balance and Month-End Close

Each month we update your general ledger and prepare a trial balance and post the closing entries. We enter accruals and prepayments and depreciation before you see a single report. That keeps the profit figure you read in line with what an auditor will check.

Monthly Financial Reports

You receive a profit and loss statement and a balance sheet and a cash flow summary and receivables and payables aging. Each pack includes a short note on what moved since last month so you can make decisions without calling an accountant.

We agree your monthly reporting date at the start so you know when to expect the numbers.

Who Needs Bookkeeping Services in Dubai

Any UAE business that earns revenue needs organized books. Some businesses feel the pain sooner than others:

  • Startups and new companies should set up a clean chart of accounts from the first invoice. Doing it before VAT or corporate tax registration saves a lot of cleanup later.
  • SMEs without an in-house accountant get reliable monthly books without paying a full-time salary.
  • Free zone companies must keep records that back up their annual audit and their qualifying income.
  • Trading and e-commerce businesses handle a huge number of transactions. We record them daily and reconcile sales against stock.
  • Contractors and construction firms juggle project billing and supplier payments and retention. We track each one for you.
  • Restaurants and retail shops take payments all day. We match your daily sales with card settlements and supplier invoices.
  • Real estate firms and consultancies earn rental income and client fees and commissions. We keep those records straight.

What Affects the Cost of Bookkeeping Services in Dubai

Your monthly fee depends on the work involved. Five things move the price:

  • Monthly transaction volume
  • Number of bank accounts and credit cards
  • VAT status and return frequency
  • Extra work such as payroll entries or several entities or inventory
  • Backlog months that need cleanup

Share your transaction count and any backlog and we send a written quote that lists exactly what we include.

Bookkeeping That Keeps You Ready for VAT and Corporate Tax

Every tax filing in the UAE starts from your books. When your books run late or stay incomplete your returns rest on estimates. The FTA can also impose administrative penalties when required records are missing.

Seven-Year Record Keeping

The Federal Tax Authority requires taxable persons to keep the records behind their corporate tax returns for at least seven years after the end of the tax period. Exempt persons must also keep records that prove their exemption. We file invoices and contracts and bank statements and ledgers by period so you can find any of them when the FTA asks.

Corporate Tax Return Deadline

You must file your corporate tax return and pay the tax nine months after your financial year ends. A company with a 31 December year end must file by 30 September of the following year. The return starts from your financial statements so late books mean a late filing.

Our tax advisory team can prepare the return from the same records we maintain. That keeps your numbers consistent.

VAT Returns

You must file VAT returns within 28 days of the end of each tax period. We code every transaction with the correct VAT treatment during the month. Your return then comes straight from your ledger instead of a last-week scramble.

IFRS Financial Statements and Free Zone Audits

Corporate tax comes from accounting profit so your financial statements generally need to follow IFRS or IFRS for SMEs where you qualify. Free zone companies that want the 0% rate on qualifying income must also produce audited financial statements. Organized books give your auditor a clear starting point instead of a pile of receipts.

Backlog and Catch-Up Bookkeeping Services

Backlog bookkeeping refers to the process of keeping monthly or yearly transactions in a book and reconciling with the reality, since the transactions were missed.

Frequently arises in four situations. Since the beginning of corporate tax, a business never kept proper books. The bookkeeper departed the company in the middle of the year. A business was operating for 12 months using spreadsheets.A company operated for 12 months using spread sheets. A bank loan or investor review/audit is upcoming for an owner.

We check what you have and add the documents that you do not have. Ledger is built up, period by period and we reconcile all bank and card accounts. A written summary of what we found is given to you. Then we transition you to monthly bookkeeping so that the gap does not reopen. There is no charge for cleanup.
