FAQ
Which accounting software should I choose?
Zoho Books, Odoo, and Xero all support UAE VAT and suit most startups. Message me your business activity, team size, and budget, and I'll recommend the best fit before you order.
I have never kept books before. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Most of my startup clients are starting from zero. I set everything up and explain each step in plain language on our call.
Do I need to be VAT registered first?
No. VAT registration is required once taxable supplies exceed AED 375,000 in 12 months. I set up VAT so your system is ready when you register, with no rebuild needed.
Can you work in software I already use?
If your transaction volume exceeds your package limit, you can add the Extra 50 Transactions upgrade at checkout. You may also message me for a custom offer tailored to your exact requirements.
Is my financial data safe?
Your financial information is fully protected. My access is limited strictly to the user login you set up, and you retain complete control to remove it whenever needed. I do not request or handle any bank logins, passwords, or sensitive authentication details.
Can you keep doing my bookkeeping every month?
Yes. Following setup, I’ll maintain your books on a recurring monthly basis. Contact me, and I’ll provide a bespoke monthly proposal aligned with your transaction volume and needs.
Do you also prepare VAT and corporate tax returns?
Yes. VAT and corporate tax returns for the UAE are handled through a dedicated service. Having your accounts set up and reconciled here ensures a smoother, faster filing experience and helps minimise compliance risk.
