I Don’t Need an Accountant. Until I Do.”. The Hidden Costs of Doing It Yourself in the UAE

If you’re running a business in Dubai, chances are you’ve told yourself:

“I’ll manage the accounts myself for now. It’s just a few invoices.”

Until it piles up.

Until you get a letter from FTA about a VAT issue.

Until it’s audit season and your numbers don’t match.

Real Talk: What’s the Risk of Not Having Proper Accounting?

Let’s break it down:

• Late VAT Filing Penalty = AED 1,000 (first time), AED 2,000 (next time)

• Failure to Keep Records for 5 Years = Up to AED 10,000

• Incorrect VAT Return = AED 3,000 minimum

And that’s not counting the time you’ll waste fixing mistakes later.

What’s the Alternative?

You don’t need to hire a full-time accountant for AED 10,000/month.

You can outsource the entire headache for AED 495/month. That covers:

✅ Clean bookkeeping

✅ VAT return filing

✅ Payroll (if needed)

✅ Monthly reports in simple English

✅ WhatsApp access to your accountant (not a ticket system)

But What If I’m Just Starting Out?

We get it. You’re building something lean.

That’s why we don’t lock you into any contracts. You pay monthly, and pause anytime.

Whether you’re a freelancer making AED 5,000/month or a small trading company doing AED 100K+, we’ve got a plan that fits.

Final Thought: You Don’t Need Accounting Services, Until You Really Do

You don’t need to “like” accounting.

You just need to avoid fines, know your cash flow, and sleep better at night.

Let us do the boring part. You focus on growing.
