Advisory

As your business grows, our advisory services are designed to help you achieve your goals. Successful growth often means navigating a complex array of opportunities, challenges and risks.

We approach each audit with sharp thought, straight talk and common sense. In addition to verifying that financial results are fairly presented and meet applicable professional standards, we provide observations and insight into the real performance of your business.

Tax & VAT

VAT: As part of the stabilisation strategy, we have witnessed several regulatory changes, with the recent one being the introduction of Value-Added Tax (VAT), which will be implemented from 1 January 2018 across the GCC.

Business Process Outsourcing

Senior management teams are under constant time pressures; however, the accounting and finance needs of a business cannot be put on hold. We work with our domestic and multinational clients to put together a process and system to manage their accounting and payroll function.
