Accounting Services in UAE
Accounting Services in UAE | Keep Your Finances Clean, Stay Compliant and Grow with Confidence
Running a business in the UAE means dealing with VAT returns, corporate tax, payroll and financial reporting — all at the same time. Most business owners do not have the time or the in-house expertise to manage all of that properly.
That is where Markom Global comes in. We provide complete accounting services in UAE for startups, SMEs and growing businesses — so your books are accurate, your filings are on time and you are always ready when the FTA comes knocking.
Why Businesses in the UAE Need Professional Accounting Support
The UAE’s financial and regulatory environment has changed significantly in recent years. VAT was introduced in 2018, corporate tax came into effect in 2023 and the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) has been actively enforcing compliance across all business sizes.
Getting this wrong is expensive. FTA penalties for late VAT filings, incorrect returns, or poor record-keeping can run into tens of thousands of dirhams — and in some cases, affect your trade licence. Working with a reliable accounting firm in UAE is not just good practice anymore. It is essential.
What we offer
Our Accounting Services in UAE
Bookkeeping & Accounts Management
Accurate books are the foundation of every healthy business. We handle your day-to-day bookkeeping — recording transactions, reconciling bank statements, managing accounts payable and receivable and keeping your records clean and audit-ready throughout the year.
You always know exactly where your money is going — without spending your own time on spreadsheets.
VAT Registration & Filing
If your business turnover exceeds AED 375,000 per year, VAT registration is mandatory in the UAE. We handle the full registration process with the FTA, prepare your VAT returns every quarter and make sure your filings are accurate and submitted on time.
We also advise on VAT treatment for specific transactions, exemptions and zero-rated supplies — so you never overpay or underclaim.
Corporate Tax Compliance
UAE corporate tax at 9% applies to businesses with net profits above AED 375,000. This is a relatively new regulation and many businesses are still figuring out how it applies to them. Our team handles your corporate tax registration, calculates your liability correctly, prepares your returns and files them with the FTA on schedule.
We also help you understand allowable deductions and structuring options to manage your tax position lawfully and efficiently.
Payroll Processing
Managing payroll in the UAE involves more than just transferring salaries. WPS (Wages Protection System) compliance, gratuity calculations, leave encashment and accurate payslips all need to be handled correctly — and any errors create legal and employee relations risks.
We manage your entire payroll cycle — from processing salaries and generating WPS files to calculating end-of-service benefits — so your team gets paid correctly and on time, every month.
Financial Reporting & Management Accounts
Good decisions need good numbers. We prepare monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements — profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow — in a format that actually tells you how your business is performing.
If you need reports for a bank loan, investor presentation, or internal planning, we prepare them accurately and in line with UAE requirements.
Accounts Receivable & Payable Management
Late payments and unpaid invoices hurt cash flow more than most business owners realise. We track your outstanding invoices, follow up with customers and manage your supplier payments — keeping your cash flow healthy and your relationships intact.
Financial Consultancy & CFO Support
Not every business needs a full-time CFO — but every business needs sound financial guidance. Our consultancy service gives you access to senior financial expertise when you need it: budgeting, cash flow planning, profitability analysis and strategic financial advice.
This is part of our broader financial consultancy services — designed to give UAE businesses the financial clarity they need to make confident decisions.
Who We Work With
Our accounting services in UAE are designed for:
- Startups getting their financial structure right from day one
- SMEs that have outgrown spreadsheets and need proper accounting support
- Trading & retail businesses managing inventory, invoices and supplier payments
- Professional service firms — consultancies, agencies, healthcare, legal
- E-commerce businesses dealing with multi-platform revenue and VAT complexity
- Free zone companies with specific regulatory and reporting requirements
- Mainland businesses managing FTA compliance across multiple activities
Whether you are a one-person business or a growing team of 50, we scale our service to fit your actual needs — not a one-size-fits-all package.
How Our Accounting Process Works
Initial Review
We start with a free consultation to understand your business, your current financial situation and what specific accounting support you need. No assumptions, no generic proposals.
Setup & Onboarding
We set up your accounting system, organise your existing records and establish a clear monthly process. We work with leading cloud accounting software so your records are always accessible and up to date.
Monthly Accounting
We handle your bookkeeping, reconciliations and any regulatory filings on a consistent monthly schedule. You never have to chase us — we work to a clear calendar and deliver on time.
Reporting & Review
Every month you receive clear financial reports. Every quarter we review your VAT position. Every year we prepare your annual accounts and tax returns.
Ongoing Support
Your business will have questions — about a specific transaction, a new contract, an FTA query, or a financial decision. We are available to answer them, not just at year end.

You know exactly what you are paying for, with no hidden charges. Our fees are structured around the actual scope of your accounting needs.
According to the UAE Federal Tax Authority, businesses are required to maintain proper accounting records for a minimum of five years. Working with a professional accounting firm in UAE ensures your records are always compliant, organised and ready for any FTA audit or review.
Frequently Asked Questions | Accounting Services in UAE
Yes — even small businesses in the UAE need to maintain proper financial records, file VAT returns if registered and comply with corporate tax regulations. The cost of getting this wrong is almost always higher than the cost of professional accounting support.
VAT registration is mandatory if your annual taxable turnover exceeds AED 375,000. Voluntary registration is available if your turnover exceeds AED 187,500. We handle the entire registration process and advise you on the right time to register based on your projected revenue.
The UAE introduced a 9% corporate tax on business profits exceeding AED 375,000, effective for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023. Most UAE mainland and free zone businesses are required to register and file. We assess your specific situation, handle registration and prepare your annual corporate tax return.
Most businesses file quarterly. Some larger businesses are required to file monthly. The FTA assigns your filing frequency at registration. We track your VAT position throughout each period and submit your return before the deadline every time.
Yes. Free zone companies have specific requirements depending on their zone authority and some are also subject to UAE corporate tax. We are experienced in handling accounting and compliance for businesses across UAE free zones including DMCC, JAFZA, ADGM, Abu Dhabi free zones and others.
We work with leading cloud-based accounting platforms that give you real-time access to your financial data from anywhere. We can also work with your existing software if you already have a system in place.
This is one of the most common situations we deal with. We will assess your current records, identify what needs to be reconstructed and work systematically to bring everything up to date — including any overdue VAT filings. We also liaise with the FTA where voluntary disclosures or penalty waivers may apply.
We offer both. Some businesses need ongoing monthly accounting support. Others need a one-off financial clean-up, a specific VAT review, or help preparing for an FTA audit. We structure our service around what you actually need.
