Accounting & Bookkeeping Services

Accounting and bookkeeping services

Financial accounting and bookkeeping have become more streamlined globally due to the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). However, this has also made the process more technical and complex. Looking at the past five years as an example, we anticipate that the future will bring additional regulations, requirements, and compliance standards.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) serves as a global business hub, experiencing continuous growth and offering new business opportunities. To thrive in this competitive market and distinguish themselves within the industry, companies must ensure that their financial statements and reports adhere to international standards.

Often, companies, especially start-ups and SMEs (Smaller & Medium Enterprises), neglect proper bookkeeping and financial reporting for several years. However, UAE regulations under the Commercial Company Law mandate maintaining accurate books of account. Consequently, after a year or two, these SMEs recognize the importance of maintaining proper financial records and seek accounting firms to assist with bookkeeping.

At MAK, we support clients in preparing their books of account from the company’s incorporation date. To do so, we require the necessary supporting documents, including sales invoices, purchase invoices, payment vouchers, receipt vouchers, petty cash expenses, bank statements, cheque counterfoils, and bank transfer records. Our relationship accountants either visit the company’s office or collect the documents to update transactions in suitable accounting software. We finalize the books of account periodically, typically on an annual basis. The resulting reports cover various aspects of financial performance.

  • balance sheet (statement of financial position),
  • profit and loss account (statement of comprehensive income),
  • cash flow statements,
  • receivables ageing list,
  • payables ageing list,
  • comparative report on sales performance,
  • comparative report on expenses,
  • financial ratio analysis,
  • working capital analysis,
  • breakeven point analysis/margin of safety etc.

CFO services

In today’s dynamic and challenging business landscape, the role of a Chief Financial Officer (CFO) holds immense relevance and significance. The strategic responsibilities of a CFO, including optimizing capital structure, designing financial strategies, managing budgets, and overseeing cash flows, are critical for business success.

Recognizing the importance of this function, we offer our professional expertise to assist CFOs in making informed business decisions based on sound and timely financial information and advice. Our services provide value while being more cost-effective than maintaining a full-time CFO. Additionally, this approach allows business owners to focus on other critical aspects of their operations.

Accounting review

An accounting review involves evaluating a company’s financial statements, accounting records, and other financial information to maintain a robust and compliant financial system for businesses. With the implementation of VAT laws in the UAE, registered businesses are now required to maintain accurate and complete records of their accounts and daily transactions. This includes tracking financial dealings, preparing monthly or quarterly VAT reports, and ensuring compliance with UAE VAT regulations.

Failure to comply with VAT laws or miscalculations can result in fines or penalties, as outlined by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). At MAK, we offer specialized Accounting Review Services in Dubai, UAE, customized to address your specific business requirements.

Business valuation

Business valuation involves a series of procedures aimed at estimating the economic value of a business. This process is particularly valuable during business sales or acquisitions.
