Accounting & Bookkeeping in Dubai

Clean, monthly, IFRS-aligned books — ledgers, reconciliations, payables and receivables, and management reports that keep you organised and decision-ready.

01The challenge

Disorganised books make tax filing, audits and everyday decisions painful. UAE law also requires proper accounting records — and Corporate Tax has made accurate, well-kept records essential rather than optional.

02What UAE law requires

Good bookkeeping is now a compliance requirement, not just good practice:

  • UAE Corporate Tax law requires taxable persons to keep accounting records and supporting documents for 7 years.
  • Financial records should be maintained in line with IFRS (or IFRS for SMEs where applicable).
  • Accurate books underpin correct VAT returns and a smooth annual audit.
  • Records must be available to the FTA on request.

Record-keeping requirements per UAE Corporate Tax law (FTA) and IFRS.
