What accounting and bookkeeping cover in the UAE

Bookkeeping records the transactions. Accounting turns them into statements the tax authority, your bank and your board can read.

What triggers the audit requirement, and what does not

Fewer companies are exempt than founders assume. Treat audit as required until confirmed otherwise.

Free-zone rules

Most major zones require audited statements filed with the authority. Smaller zones may exempt filing, not records.

What a monthly cycle actually looks like

A fixed monthly cadence. The point is to keep the tax return, the VAT return and the audit unblocked when they land.

  1. Weeks 1–2

    Bank statements pulled, invoices recorded, expenses and petty cash reconciled.

  2. Week 3

    Payroll journals booked, WPS cross-checked to the ledger, inter-company balances agreed.

  3. Week 4

    Month-end close: accruals, prepayments, depreciation, closing trial balance.

  4. Quarterly

    VAT return prepared and filed, with a corporate tax review where relevant.

  5. Annually

    Year-end close, audit pack handed over, tax computation and return filed.

  6. On demand

    Board packs, bank-facility support, investor reporting and ad-hoc management accounts.

Frequently asked

Does every UAE company need bookkeeping?
Every company should maintain records that accurately reflect its transactions, financial position, and tax or regulatory obligations. The required level of reporting depends on the entity, activity, tax position, free-zone rules, and any bank, investor, or audit requirement. Good bookkeeping is the baseline for making those obligations manageable.
Can you take over books that are behind?
Yes. We start by reviewing the available records, bank statements, invoices, payroll data, and prior filings, then agree a practical catch-up scope. The work required depends on how complete the documents are and whether historic returns, audits, or reconciliations are outstanding.
Do you prepare financial statements?
Yes, where the scope requires them. The format and level of review depend on the company’s jurisdiction, reporting needs, audit requirement, lender or investor requests, and tax position. We confirm the required deliverable before starting the work.
Can bookkeeping help with corporate-tax compliance?
Yes. Accurate, timely records are central to preparing a reliable corporate-tax position and return. Bookkeeping does not determine tax treatment on its own, but it provides the records needed to assess income, expenses, transactions, and supporting evidence properly.
Do I need an audit for my UAE company?
Audit requirements depend on the entity, jurisdiction, activity, free-zone rules, tax position, financing, investor requirements, and any regulatory or contractual obligations. Even where an audit is not mandatory, financial statements or accounting evidence may still be needed for tax, banking, governance, or commercial reasons.
Can Sonsoto manage accounting, VAT, and corporate tax together?
Yes, where this is the agreed scope. The advantage of one coordinated service is that bookkeeping, VAT, corporate tax, payroll, and supporting evidence can be managed against the same operating record. The exact service and review responsibility are set out in writing before work begins.
What happens if my accounting records are incomplete?
We review what exists—bank statements, invoices, contracts, payroll records, expenses, previous returns, and company records—then identify gaps and agree a catch-up plan. The work may involve reconstruction, reconciliation, correction of prior records, or coordination with previous advisers.
