Indicative bands below. The fee we quote after scoping is fixed and agreed in writing. Most UAE firms will not publish anything — we would rather you know before the call whether we are in your range.
Fees are driven by transaction volume, entity count, payroll headcount and reporting depth — not by revenue alone.
Reliable monthly books, VAT returns and Corporate Tax–ready records.
Accounting plus the management reporting layer leadership actually uses.
Senior financial judgement in the decisions, without the AED 60k hire.

Payroll processing from AED 1,200/month standalone, or discounted when bundled. All fees exclude VAT where applicable.
The lowest-risk way to work with us. Two weeks, fixed fee, and it ends in a document you own regardless of what you do next.
Accounting quality and reconciliation status, reporting and its usefulness, cash position and working capital cycle, Corporate Tax and VAT readiness, finance controls and access, and your systems.
A written findings note: what is working, what is broken, what it is costing in dirhams where we can quantify it, and a prioritised action list sequenced by payback. Yours to keep and to act on with anyone.
AED 4,500 fixed, credited in full against your first month if you engage a recurring service within 60 days. If our conclusion is that you do not need us yet, we say that in the note.
Project work is separate from any recurring service and priced as a fixed fee with a defined end point. We do not bill hourly, because open-ended finance projects have a habit of becoming permanent.
See all services →Because the alternative wastes everyone's time. A business with AED 4 million of revenue and three entities can see immediately whether we are in their range before booking a call. Firms that hide pricing usually do so because the fee depends on what they think you will pay, which is not a basis we want to work on.
The bands are indicative. The fee we quote after scoping is fixed, agreed in writing, and does not change unless the scope changes — in which case we tell you before we do the work, not after.
Transaction volume, number of entities and bank accounts, payroll headcount, VAT complexity, reporting depth, the state of the current records, and the quality of your existing systems. Revenue is a weak predictor on its own; a AED 20 million trading business with 200 transactions a month is less work than a AED 6 million restaurant group with four outlets and daily settlement.
Recurring services are monthly with 60 days' notice either way. We do not use long lock-ins. If the service is not working, a notice period should not be the thing keeping you.
AED 4,500, fixed. It covers a review of your accounting quality, reporting, cash position, tax readiness and controls, and delivers a written findings note with prioritised recommendations. You own the note whether or not you engage us afterwards. If you do engage within 60 days, the fee is credited against the first month.
No. The initial call is free and is genuinely a scoping conversation. If we think you do not need us yet, we will say so.
Yes. Clean-ups, financial models, feasibility studies, audit preparation and finance function setup are quoted as fixed-fee projects separate from any recurring service.
Statutory audit (performed by an independent licensed audit firm), legal advice, formal representation before the FTA where a registered tax agent is required, regulated investment or corporate finance advice, and software licence costs. We tell you which of these you need and coordinate, but they are billed by the relevant party.
Tell us entity count, approximate transaction volume, payroll headcount and what reporting you need. We aim to return a fixed monthly fee within one business day after the scope is clear.
