Industries We Serve: Accounting & Tax by Sector

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 a generic bookkeeping template treats them as if they should. Explore how we work with your specific industry below.

Industries

Ten sectors, ten different sets of real problems

Each of the industries below has genuinely different accounting pain points — not just a relabelled version of the same generic service.

Percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, retention money tracking, and work-in-progress valuation specific to project-based businesses.
Off-plan revenue recognition, RERA escrow account reconciliation, and project-based cost allocation for developers and property managers.
Multi-marketplace reconciliation across Amazon, Noon and Shopify, cross-border VAT, and margin reporting by SKU and channel.
Import/export documentation reconciliation, letter of credit tracking, and customs duty treatment for physical goods trading.
Daily cash and delivery-platform reconciliation, food cost percentage tracking, and multi-outlet consolidated reporting.
Insurance claim reconciliation against DHA and Daman, split billing, and multi-practitioner revenue-share accounting.
Fleet and fuel cost tracking, cross-border freight VAT treatment, and customs documentation reconciliation.
Time-based billing and work-in-progress tracking, partner drawings versus salary, and per-client profitability reporting.
Raw material, WIP and finished goods valuation, overhead absorption, and fixed asset-heavy audit coordination.
Digital asset balance sheet treatment, heightened AML compliance, and VASP-adjacent regulatory awareness.
Why sector matters

Accounting, VAT and corporate tax differ by industry

The UAE rules are the same for everyone, but how they apply is not. A contractor recognises revenue over the life of a project; an e-commerce seller reports VAT on gross sales, not marketplace payouts; a clinic splits zero-rated and standard-rated treatments; a trader values stock under IAS 2 and may fall under the domestic reverse charge. We assign accountants who already know the issues in your sector, so your books, VAT returns and corporate tax return start from the right treatment instead of being corrected at audit.

Off-plan revenue, escrow, IAS 40 investment property, and the residential/commercial VAT split.
IFRS 15 percentage-of-completion, retentions, variations and VAT on progress billing.
Landed cost, IAS 2 inventory, trade finance and the domestic reverse charge.
Job costing, disbursements and zero-rated international transport.
Marketplace and gateway settlements, gross-sales VAT and B2C corporate tax rules.
Daily POS reconciliation, food cost by outlet, delivery apps and VAT-inclusive pricing.
Insurance claims, zero-rated healthcare, doctor compensation and equipment.
Product costing, overhead absorption, ICV and qualifying free zone income.
WIP, utilisation, export-of-services zero-rating and Small Business Relief.
Wallet reconciliations, IAS 38 classification and the VAT exemption for virtual assets.
