A clear diagnostic first
Before any work starts you get a plain assessment of what's wrong, what it'll take to fix, and a fixed price — no surprises.
Accounting Services
Accounting review & clean-up in the UAE
Messy, incomplete or unreliable books are more than an annoyance — they put your tax filings, audit and decisions at risk. We diagnose what's wrong, correct the errors, reconcile every account and bring your records back to a clean, accurate and audit-ready state — at a fixed fee agreed before we start.

Why it matters
Why an accounting review & clean-up is required
Books drift out of shape for all sorts of ordinary reasons — a bookkeeper left, the business grew faster than the system, transactions went uncategorised, or filings were rushed. Left alone, small errors compound until the accounts no longer reflect reality.
That becomes a real problem the moment something depends on those numbers. In the UAE, Corporate Tax and VAT are self-assessed — you file based on your own records, and the Federal Tax Authority can review them. Inaccurate books mean wrong returns, penalties, and rejected input VAT. An external audit, a bank facility, or investor due diligence will all stall on accounts that don't reconcile.
A clean-up fixes the foundation: it removes duplicates and misclassifications, reconciles bank, cash and control accounts, corrects opening balances, and brings any backlog up to date — so every report built on top of the ledger can be trusted.
It's also the sensible first step before outsourcing your accounting, switching software, or bringing in a virtual CFO — you don't want to automate or build on top of bad data.
The process
Process overview, in five clear steps
A structured clean-up that moves from diagnosis to clean, signed-off books — so you always know what we've found and what comes next, with a fixed fee agreed before we start.
1
Step 1
Diagnostic review
We assess the state of your books, identify errors, gaps and risks, and scope the work — then agree a fixed, all-inclusive fee.
2
Step 2
Reconcile accounts
We reconcile bank, cash, card and control accounts, agreeing every balance to statements and source documents.
3
Step 3
Correct & reclassify
We fix misclassifications, remove duplicates, post correcting journals and put opening balances right.
4
Step 4
Reconstruct backlog
We post any missing or unrecorded transactions, bringing the ledger fully up to date and continuous.
5
Step 5
Verify & report
We confirm VAT and balances tie out, then deliver clean accounts with a findings and recommendations report.
