Common Questions

Choosing the right services.

Not sure where to start? These are the questions we hear most before an engagement begins.

Which accounting service does a new UAE business need first?

Bookkeeping is the foundation — accurate, up-to-date books make every other service (VAT registration, corporate tax filing, audit) faster and cheaper to deliver, since the underlying records are already clean.

Do I need all eight services, or can I choose only some?

Most businesses start with two or three — typically bookkeeping plus VAT or corporate tax — and add services like payroll, audit or compliance support as the business grows or as specific obligations apply.

Can services be bundled into one monthly engagement?

Yes. Services are typically scoped together into a single fixed monthly or project engagement, so a business has one filing calendar and one point of contact rather than separate providers per service.

Do these services apply to free zone companies as well as mainland?

Yes, with some nuance — VAT and corporate tax obligations largely apply the same way across free zone and mainland, though Qualifying Free Zone Persons have specific corporate tax treatment that's assessed on a case-by-case basis.
