Accounting  Services in UAE

Managing your company’s finances requires precision, compliance, and a clear strategy. Under UAE Federal Law, businesses are required to maintain accurate accounting records for at least five years, while the Ministry of Finance recommends ten years for tax compliance. Failure to maintain proper records can lead to penalties, legal risks, and financial inefficiencies.

Accurate financial records are the backbone of every successful business.

At PartnerWize, we help companies maintain compliant, up-to-date, and reliable accounting systems.

From day-to-day bookkeeping to payroll, financial reporting, and audits, our experts ensure your business stays financially healthy and fully aligned with UAE accounting standards.

UAE follows its own set of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), maintained by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC).

These standards apply to government entities and state-owned companies, ensuring transparency and consistency in financial reporting. Key accounting principles in UAE include:

 

  • Income Recognition – Income is recorded when it is realised or realisable.

  • Expense Recognition – Expenses are recognised when incurred.

  • Revenue Recognition – Revenue is recognised when it is earned.

  • Asset & Liability Measurement – Most assets and liabilities are measured at fair value, while financial instruments and leases follow amortised cost using the effective interest method.

 

Running a business in Dubai can be exciting, but compliance with these accounting principles is crucial to avoid penalties and maintain financial health.

Five essential accounting policies every business in UAE must follow:

Record Keeping Policy

Under UAE Federal Law, businesses are required to maintain accurate financial records and statements. These records must be kept intact for a minimum of five years. However, the Ministry of Finance recommends storing them for up to ten years to ensure full tax compliance and audit readiness.

Proper record-keeping is not only a legal requirement but also a critical practice for avoiding penalties, passing audits, and maintaining business transparency.

How to Keep Your Business Accounting Records in Order 

Many businesses attempt to handle accounting internally to save costs. However, this often leads to errors, missed deadlines, and unnecessary stress. Instead, you can choose one of the following approaches:

 

1. Hiring In-House Accounting Staff

This option involves recruiting full-time accounting professionals to manage your books, reconcile accounts, and prepare reports. While effective, it comes with additional expenses such as salaries, benefits, recruitment, and training.

 

2. Outsourcing Accounting Services

Outsourcing to a professional firm like PartnerWize offers a cost-effective and efficient alternative to hiring permanent employees. We handle all your accounting operations while you focus on growing your business.
