Bookkeeping in Dubai
What Is Bookkeeping in Dubai?
Bookkeeping in Dubai is the systematic recording and organizing of every financial transaction your business makes. It covers income, expenses, invoices, receipts, payments, and bank entries.
Under Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2021, every registered UAE company must maintain books of account. This is not optional. Your records must be IFRS-compliant and available for review at any time.
VAT records must be retained for 5 years. Corporate tax records for 7 years. These books form the basis for your VAT returns, corporate tax filings, and any audit your business may face.
What's Included
What Does a Bookkeeping Service in Dubai Cover?
Professional bookkeeping is more than data entry. It covers the full cycle of recording, reconciling, and reporting your financial activity so your books stay clean and compliant.
Transaction Recording
Every sale, purchase, receipt, and payment recorded and categorized daily. Invoices, credit notes, and expenses logged in your ledger.
Bank Reconciliation
Bank statements matched against your books every month. Discrepancies flagged and resolved before they affect your reports or VAT filings.
Accounts Payable and Receivable
We track what you owe and what is owed to you. Aging reports show overdue invoices so you can chase payments and manage cash flow.
Financial Statement Preparation
Monthly profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow statements prepared per IFRS. The reports your auditor, bank, and tax advisor need.
VAT-Compliant Record Keeping
Input and output tax documented on every transaction. Your books stay VAT-return-ready so quarterly filings are fast and penalty-free.
Monthly Management Reporting
A clear summary of where your money went, what came in, and where you stand. Delivered monthly with notes on anything unusual.
Outsourced Bookkeeping
Why Do Dubai Businesses Outsource Bookkeeping?
An in-house bookkeeper in Dubai costs AED 5,000 to 8,000 monthly in salary alone, plus visa, insurance, and benefits. Outsourcing starts from AED 500 with better compliance.

What Affects Your Bookkeeping Cost
Transaction Volume
A trading company with 500 invoices per month costs more than a consultancy with 20. Volume is the biggest cost driver.
Bank Account Count
Each account needs monthly reconciliation. Multi-currency accounts add conversion work. More accounts means more time.
VAT Registration
VAT-registered businesses need input and output tax tracked per transaction. This adds documentation and filing prep.
Entity Complexity
Multi-entity structures need separate books per entity plus intercompany reconciliation. QFZP tracking adds another layer.
