About Us

Our Story

Compliance Accountants was founded by ACCA and ICAEW-qualified accountants who identified a clear gap: UAE SMEs were being underserved by generic bookkeeping firms that lacked real regulatory depth, while large firms weren't interested in smaller clients.

We built this practice specifically for the UAE's fast-growing SME sector — combining international accounting standards with deep on-the-ground knowledge of UAE company law, FTA requirements, and free zone regulations.

⚖️

Integrity First

We only recommend structures we'd be comfortable defending before the FTA — every time.

🎯

Precision in Everything

Every figure verified. Every filing reviewed by a senior accountant before submission.

🔔

Proactive, Not Reactive

We flag issues before they become problems — not after the deadline has passed.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

If your taxable supplies and imports exceed AED 375,000 per annum, VAT registration is mandatory. Voluntary registration is available if supplies exceed AED 187,500. We assess your turnover and advise on the correct threshold and timing — getting this wrong results in FTA penalties and backdated VAT liability.
UAE Corporate Tax at 9% applies to most UAE businesses for financial years starting on or after 1 June 2023. The first AED 375,000 of taxable income is taxed at 0%. Qualifying Free Zone businesses may benefit from the 0% preferential rate on qualifying income. We determine which rate applies and handle all registration and filing.
We are certified partners of Xero, QuickBooks Online, and Zoho Books — the three most widely used cloud platforms in the UAE. We can onboard you onto any of these or continue within your existing system. We also support Tally ERP. Our team handles all setup, chart of accounts configuration, and ongoing management.
Absolutely — Free Zone accounting is one of our specialisms. We serve clients in DMCC, DIFC, ADGM, JAFZA, SAIF Zone, RAK ICC, and most major UAE Free Zones. Each zone has specific audit, reporting, and licence renewal requirements. We ensure your books meet both the Free Zone authority's standards and UAE federal tax obligations.
In most cases we have cloud accounting set up and the first month of bookkeeping started within 5 business days of signing. For businesses with complex historical records or backlog bookkeeping, we agree a clear timeline upfront. We never rush onboarding at the expense of accuracy — your opening balances must be right.
All prices shown are exclusive of 5% UAE VAT, which will be added to your invoice. As a VAT-registered business, you can reclaim the input VAT on our fees in your own quarterly VAT return — making the effective net cost lower for most clients. We are always transparent about the total fee before you commit.
