What Ratio does

Ratio provides accounting, bookkeeping, VAT, Corporate Tax, payroll and financial advisory services to businesses in the UAE, from an office in Abu Dhabi. Most clients start with a monthly engagement covering the books and both filing deadlines, then add advisory work as they need it.

Keeping the books straight

The recurring work: transactions recorded, accounts reconciled, and a set of figures that is ready before anyone asks for it.

Meeting the FTA deadlines

Registration, computation and filing for the two deadlines every UAE business now carries, plus the e-invoicing mandate arriving in 2027.

Paying people correctly

WPS-compliant payroll, and the end-of-service arithmetic that tends to be got wrong.

Deciding what to do next

Where the numbers stop being a compliance obligation and start informing a decision.

What clients say

Owners and finance leads across Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah, on the work behind these services.
