Startup Accounting
Startup Accounting in Dubai
Accounting foundations for early-stage Dubai businesses — set up right from incorporation, with an eye on future fundraising and investor reporting needs.
Get the foundation right
Books that are clean from transaction one
Early accounting decisions — chart of accounts structure, VAT/Corporate Tax registration timing, how founder transactions are recorded — are far easier to get right from day one than to fix later, especially once investors start asking questions.
We set up startup accounting with future due diligence in mind: clean, current books that hold up under investor or acquirer scrutiny, not just FTA compliance.
- Chart of accounts set up from incorporation
- VAT & Corporate Tax registration timed correctly
- Founder & related-party transaction handling
- Investor-ready reporting as you scale

When should a startup register for VAT and Corporate Tax in the UAE?
In short
When should a startup register for VAT and Corporate Tax in the UAE? VAT registration becomes mandatory once taxable turnover exceeds AED 375,000 in a 12-month period, while Corporate Tax registration is generally required shortly after incorporation regardless of profit — we help time and handle both correctly.
