Abu Dhabi Accounting Services
Ratio runs bookkeeping, VAT, corporate tax, payroll and CFO reporting for SMEs in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. You get monthly financial statements with written commentary, not a year-end file drop, on a scope agreed in writing before we start.
An accounting firm in Abu Dhabi has to keep you current on two filings. VAT registration is mandatory once your taxable turnover passes AED 375,000 in a rolling 12-month period, and each return is due within 28 days of the end of the tax period. Corporate tax is 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000, the return is due 9 months after your financial year ends, and late registration carries an AED 10,000 penalty.
The same team runs the same service across all seven Emirates. See accounting services in UAE.
Most clients are SMEs in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, in these sectors:
Monthly financial statements with written commentary on margins, costs and cash flow. You see what moved and why in the month it happened, rather than at the year end close.
Bring your last VAT return and your current trial balance. We will tell you what is missing and what it costs to fix.
Book Your Free ConsultationFour questions worth asking any firm you are considering, including this one. The answers below are ours; ask the same of anyone else on your shortlist.
Ask whether the person in the meeting is the person closing your books. At Ratio one named accountant owns your file and a senior reviews the output.
A firm that starts from the current month without reconciling what came before is building on records nobody has checked. We look at what exists first.
We publish ten engagements with the outcome of each, rather than asking you to take testimonials on trust.
VAT within 28 days of each tax period and Corporate Tax within nine months of year end, both prepared from closed records rather than assembled at the deadline.
Tell us what you run and what is not working. We will tell you what we would do, including when the answer is that you do not need us yet.
