Accounting, bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax services from Firswood’s qualified in-house team. Appoint us for your regular accounts or a defined piece of work, with the scope and responsibilities agreed before we begin.
For a Dubai mainland company, registration and licensing are managed by the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). A company established in a free zone deals with its relevant authority. The official Invest in Dubai guide explains these routes.
Tell us the legal name on your licence, the authority that issued it and the activity your business carries out. If you have more than one entity or branch, mention that at the start. These details help us define whose transactions belong in the accounts and which reporting requirements need checking.
Your accounting setup also needs to follow how you get paid and incur costs. Card payments, online sales, cash receipts, supplier credit and imports each leave a different set of records. We identify those sources before proposing the bookkeeping work.
Choose the work you need now. Your proposal can combine related services around the same records.
Keep invoices, supplier bills and bank activity together. Our accounting and bookkeeping service covers the agreed recording, reconciliations and reports. If earlier periods are incomplete, we can scope backlog accounting before establishing a regular routine.
Discuss your registration position, prepare supporting information and review the records for each return. Explore VAT registration, VAT return filing and VAT compliance review to examine the records and treatment used.
Registration, accounts preparation and a tax return are separate tasks. We identify what has already been completed and what remains outstanding. Read about corporate tax registration and corporate tax return filing.
If you need to understand margins, cash requirements or spending, start with the decision you are working on. We can scope management reports or outsourced CFO support around the information available.
Agree a process for collecting and approving payroll information, with the responsibilities clear before each pay period. Our payroll service can sit alongside your accounting engagement or be discussed as a separate assignment.
For a new entity or a change in activity, we can discuss business setup support and the accounting work that follows. If goods cross the border, tell us about your import arrangements when discussing customs registration and bookkeeping.
UAE corporate tax is a federal tax applying across the emirates. Dubai’s licensing arrangements do not create a separate corporate tax system. The FTA’s corporate tax FAQs explain this distinction.
We review tax registrations and filings separately from licence renewals. If you operate in a free zone, the applicable conditions and your actual activities need to be assessed before a tax position is reached.
You do not need a complete financial archive to make an enquiry. A short explanation lets us identify the records needed for a proposal.
Read the new-business financial setup guideTell us whether you are setting up, changing accountants, catching up on old periods or looking for ongoing support. Include your accounting software, the last period completed and any approaching dates.
If you are changing accountants, we discuss access to your accounting system, the latest trial balance, previous returns and unresolved items. We agree the handover and any separate correction work before taking over.
Our team uses Zoho Books, QuickBooks and Xero. Firswood has ACCA-qualified team members and an FTA-registered tax agent. Read about the team’s qualifications and engagement arrangements.

Yes. We agree the reporting periods, volume of work and information your team will provide. The scope can include recording transactions, reconciling bank accounts and preparing reports. VAT returns and corporate tax work are identified separately in your proposal. See our accounting and tax packages.
Tell us the issuing authority, legal name, entity type and licensed activities. Mention any branches, additional licences or changes in the business. This helps us identify the entity whose records we are preparing and the reporting requirements to check.
A free-zone licence alone does not establish the tax treatment of every activity or transaction. We assess the company and its records against the relevant requirements. See our corporate tax advisory service and VAT compliance review service for the scope of that review.
We work with Zoho Books, QuickBooks and Xero. We first review access, opening balances and unfinished periods in your existing system. A change of platform is discussed only where it serves an identified need, with migration work agreed separately.
