FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — Accountant Dubai

How much does an accountant cost in Dubai?
Accounting service fees in Dubai vary by business size. For SMEs, monthly bookkeeping packages start from AED 999/month at Essence Accounting. Mid-size businesses with payroll and management accounts typically pay AED 2,500–5,000/month. Larger businesses requiring IFRS financials or group consolidations receive custom quotes. All packages are fixed-fee with no hidden charges.
What accounting software do Dubai businesses use?
The most widely used accounting software among Dubai businesses are QuickBooks Online, Xero, Zoho Books, and Tally. For larger companies, SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics are common. Essence Accounting works across all major platforms and can migrate your accounts between systems and train your team if required.
Do I need an accountant for a Dubai free zone company?
Yes. Dubai free zone companies — whether in DMCC, DIFC, DAFZA, or other zones — are required to maintain proper books of accounts and, in many cases, submit audited financial statements annually to the free zone authority. VAT-registered free zone entities must also file quarterly or monthly VAT returns. Essence Accounting provides tailored accounting and compliance services for free zone companies.
What is IFRS and do Dubai companies need to follow it?
IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) is the internationally recognised framework for preparing financial statements. In the UAE, listed companies and many free zone entities are required to prepare IFRS-compliant financial statements. While mainland companies are not always mandated to use IFRS, banks and investors expect IFRS-standard accounts. Essence Accounting prepares IFRS-compliant financial statements for all client types.
Can Essence Accounting handle payroll for my Dubai business?
Yes. Essence Accounting provides end-to-end payroll processing for Dubai businesses. Our payroll service covers salary calculations, WPS compliance — mandatory for all UAE employers — end-of-service gratuity calculations, leave management, and monthly payroll reports, ensuring full Ministry of Human Resources compliance.
What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting in Dubai?
Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording of financial transactions — invoices, receipts, payments, and bank reconciliations. Accounting goes further: it analyses those records to produce financial statements, management reports, tax computations, and strategic financial insights. In Dubai\'s compliance environment, accurate bookkeeping forms the foundation for correct VAT returns, Corporate Tax filings, and annual financial statements. Essence Accounting provides both services in integrated packages.
