UAE Accounts Outsourcing, Your Full Finance Function Without the Hire
Bookkeeping, management accounts, VAT returns, payroll, CT return, and CFO-level advisory. All handled by our team. No in-house finance hire, no software cost, no training overhead. You get a complete finance function from AED 2,500 per month and spend your time on the business, not the books.
Who Benefits from UAE Accounts Outsourcing
Accounts outsourcing is for businesses that need a complete finance function but are not at the stage where hiring a full-time Finance Manager or CFO makes commercial sense. In Dubai, a qualified Finance Manager costs AED 12,000 to 20,000 per month plus visa, benefits, and software costs. Outsourcing delivers the same output for a fraction of that cost, with no recruitment risk, no notice period, and no redundancy exposure. The typical outsourcing client is a business with AED 1M to 30M in annual revenue that wants professional finance without the overhead of a full finance department.
| Business Stage | Outsourcing Benefit |
|---|---|
| Startup or early-stage (0 to 2 years) | Finance function from day one without early hire cost |
| SME scaling (AED 1M to 30M revenue) | Professional finance without full-time Finance Manager cost |
| Business with part-time admin doing accounts | Replace ad hoc admin with a structured finance team |
| Business preparing for external investment | Investor-ready management accounts and financial reporting |
| Group with multiple entities | Consolidated accounts across entities under one engagement |
| Business owner spending time on accounts | Owner's time freed immediately. Focus on revenue. |

How UAE Accounts Outsourcing Works
Onboarding and Setup
We set up your accounting system, chart of accounts, and document flow in week one. You get a single WhatsApp contact for your dedicated accounts team. We configure your bank feeds, invoice templates, and expense submission process so the ongoing flow requires minimal input from you. Existing backlog is cleared before month one begins.
Monthly Finance Function
We handle everything that a full-time finance team would handle: posting transactions, reconciling banks, managing payables and receivables, running payroll journals, filing VAT returns, and producing monthly management accounts. You receive your P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow summary within 5 business days of month-end. Every month, without chasing.
CFO Advisory and Reporting
Beyond the monthly close, we provide CFO-level input: budget vs actual variance analysis, cash flow forecasting, FTA compliance calendar management, and financial input for business decisions. On higher tiers, this includes a monthly call to walk through the numbers and flag anything that needs your attention. Year-end, we coordinate the external audit and prepare the CT return.
Monthly Retainer. Full Function Included.
Everything included in the monthly fee. No add-ons for VAT returns or CT returns on higher tiers.

UAE Accounts Outsourcing: Common Questions
What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounts outsourcing?
Bookkeeping covers transaction recording, bank reconciliation, and monthly P&L. Accounts outsourcing is the full finance function: bookkeeping plus VAT returns, CT returns, payroll, management accounts, cash flow forecasting, and CFO advisory. Outsourcing replaces the need for any in-house finance staff. Bookkeeping is one component of outsourcing.
How do you handle document collection and invoice management?
We set up a simple document flow at onboarding. You forward supplier invoices, share bank statements monthly, and submit expense receipts via a shared folder or WhatsApp. We handle the rest. Most clients spend under 30 minutes per month on finance administration once the process is running.
Can you handle payroll for UAE employees?
Yes. Payroll processing including WPS submissions, payslip generation, and payroll journal posting is included in the Full Finance Function tier and available as an add-on to Core Outsourcing. Payroll is processed by the 24th of each month to meet the UAE WPS deadline.
Do you work with businesses across all UAE free zones?
Yes. We work with businesses registered across all UAE free zones and mainland. Free zone-specific requirements such as QFZP income segregation, Designated Zone excise accounting, and free zone authority reporting formats are handled within the standard outsourcing engagement.
What happens to my data if I want to switch or stop?
All your financial records are maintained in your accounting software under your licence. If you stop the engagement, you retain full access to all records and we provide a clean handover pack to your new accountant or in-house team. There is no lock-in beyond the 30-day notice period.
Can you produce investor-ready financial reports?
Yes. Under the Full Finance Function tier, monthly management accounts include P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and budget vs actual variance commentary. These are prepared in a format suitable for sharing with investors, banks, or board members. For formal fundraising or due diligence, we also coordinate the external audit engagement.
