Accounts Outsourcing UAE
Replace your entire in-house finance department with a dedicated outsourced team - bookkeepers, senior accountants, and a CFO layer - for a single monthly fee. No visas, no HR costs, no hidden extras.
Who outsources their accounts?
Accounts outsourcing makes financial sense for UAE SMEs spending AED 10,000–30,000/month on finance headcount, and for fast-scaling businesses that need senior finance capability without the commitment of a full-time hire.
| Business Profile | Why Outsourcing Works |
|---|---|
| SME (5–50 employees, AED 2M–50M revenue) | Full finance function at fraction of in-house cost - bookkeeper + senior accountant + CFO layer for AED 3,000–8,000/month |
| Free zone company with QFZP obligations | Audited accounts + QFZP compliance + CT filing handled end-to-end - all QFZP obligations met |
| Foreign company with UAE branch or subsidiary | Local UAE finance function without local hire - reporting in parent company format + UAE compliance |
| Founder-led business where owner handles finance | Owner time recovered - stop doing admin, start driving revenue |
| Business scaling from 1 to 3 entities | Multi-entity consolidation and intercompany accounting handled centrally across all entities |
Full-time UAE Finance Manager: AED 12,000–18,000/month in salary alone, plus visa, gratuity, medical, and desk. Our outsourced service replaces this for less.

Accounts outsourcing UAE - frequently asked questions
Will we have a dedicated accountant or share a pool?
You get a named, dedicated senior accountant as your main point of contact supported by our bookkeeping team. You are not passed between anonymous agents - your accountant knows your business.
Can you take over from our existing accountant?
Yes. We handle the transition: requesting prior-year files, reconstructing records if needed, and taking over ongoing operations with minimal disruption. Most transitions complete within 2 weeks.
What if we need more than your standard plan covers?
We scope custom plans for businesses with higher complexity - multiple entities, intercompany transactions, foreign-currency reporting, or industry-specific requirements like construction contract accounting.
Are government filing fees included?
No - UAE government filing fees (FTA registration fees, DED renewal, free zone licence fees) are charged at cost. Our monthly fee covers the professional services only.
What happens if we grow and our needs change?
We adjust scope as you grow. Moving from SME Package to Full Outsource, or adding entities, is done with 30 days' notice. There is no penalty for scaling up.
