Quick answer

Bookkeeping fees in Dubai depend on transaction volume and scope; Aabi quotes a fixed monthly fee after a short review, and special discounts are available. All UAE entities must maintain accounting records under the Commercial Companies Law. Aabi provides monthly bookkeeping on Xero, QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books, backlog cleanup, payroll/WPS processing and management reporting.

What we handle

Our team works directly in Xero, QuickBooks Online and Zoho Books, so switching systems isn't a precondition for working with us — and if you're not on any of them yet, we'll set one up properly.

Transaction recording, bank reconciliation and ledger maintenance on a fixed monthly cycle — delivered on a date you can plan around.
Reconstructing and reconciling months or years of unrecorded transactions before moving to a recurring cycle — we don't build on records we can't stand behind.
Chart of accounts design and implementation on Xero, QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books, migrated cleanly from spreadsheets or a prior system.
Invoice processing, payment runs and collections follow-up handled as a managed function, so cash comes in and goes out on schedule.
Monthly or quarterly management packs — P&L, balance sheet, cash flow and KPI dashboards owners actually read, not 40-page exports nobody opens.
Salary processing and Wage Protection System filing, kept current with MOHRE requirements so payroll never becomes a compliance risk.
Year-end financial statements prepared to IFRS or IFRS for SMEs, ready for audit or bank submission without last-minute rework.
Documented policies covering revenue recognition, fixed assets and internal controls, built from templates refined across real prior engagements.
Built for how you actually operate

Industry-specific accounting services

Chart of accounts, revenue recognition and reporting norms differ meaningfully by sector — a real estate developer's books don't look like a restaurant's, and shouldn't be treated the same way. We tailor the setup to your industry from day one.

Frequently asked

Before you commit to a system change

Do we have to switch accounting software to work with you?+

No — we work directly in Xero, QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books. If you're on something else, we'll advise honestly on whether migrating is worth it for your size and complexity.

How far behind can bookkeeping be before it's a problem?+

There's no fixed limit, but the further behind, the more reconciliation work is needed before figures can be relied on for tax filings or bank submissions. We scope backlog work separately from the recurring cycle so pricing stays predictable.

What's included in a management accounts pack?+

Typically profit and loss, balance sheet, cash flow summary and a small set of KPIs relevant to your business — built to be read in minutes, not audited line by line.

Can you take over from our current bookkeeper without disruption?+

Yes — the usual handover is a review of the last 3–6 months of records, a short reconciliation, and a clean cutover date. We flag anything that needs fixing before we take over, rather than inheriting problems silently.

How much do accounting services cost in Dubai?+

Fees depend on your transaction volume, the services you need (bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, reporting) and how current your records are. We quote a fixed monthly fee with no surprises — get in touch for a tailored quote and ask about our current special discounts.

Do you handle multi-currency accounting?+

Yes, on all three platforms we work in — relevant for import/export businesses, e-commerce sellers on multiple marketplaces, and holding structures with cross-border transactions.
