Our accountants in Al Nahda provide bookkeeping services in Dubai for SMEs, startups and free zone companies. We cover everything from daily transaction recording to monthly financial reports. Most owners ignore their books until a VAT deadline or a bank request forces the issue. AlAhramat Group takes that job off your desk. We keep your records ready for VAT and corporate tax and audit. Months behind? We clean up the backlog first and then keep you current.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
AlAhramat Group is an accounting firm offering financial and administrative services from Al Murjan Tower on Amman St in Al Nahda 2 Dubai.

We agree your monthly reporting date at the start so you know when to expect the numbers.
Any UAE business that earns revenue needs organized books. Some businesses feel the pain sooner than others:
Your monthly fee depends on the work involved. Five things move the price:
Share your transaction count and any backlog and we send a written quote that lists exactly what we include.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Many SMEs outsource first and hire in-house later, once finance work fills a full week. The table shows the practical differences.
