Trigger cards
When running accounting and tax functions leads to risks
If any of these situations is familiar, the risks are better closed before they turn into real money.
-
01
The business runs, but accounting is done "as it goes" — and the owner is not sure everything is correct
-
02
Corporate Tax or VAT has appeared — returns are filed, but it feels like a risk is hiding somewhere
-
03
The group has intragroup transactions across jurisdictions, but transfer pricing compliance is not in place
-
04
A bank or investor has requested IFRS reporting — and it must be prepared quickly and correctly
-
05
There has been an FTA audit, or there are grounds to expect transfer-pricing questions

Foundation and compliance
What the Accounting & Tax Foundation covers
Choose the entry point that matches the current risk. ADE can work on one focused area or combine several workstreams under one partner-led plan.
01
Accounting Core accounting and compliance
When to engage: Use this when the company is just opening in the UAE, when accounting is unstructured, or when the owner has stopped understanding what is happening with the money.

- VAT & Corporate Tax — compliance and filing of returns
- Preparation of IFRS financial statements for a standalone company
- US GAAP and other reporting standards when required
- Full-cycle audit support — including with the Big Four
- Methodology for complex IFRS issues
- Support with automation: 1C, Zoho and others
02
IFRS Complex reporting

Complex reporting

- Consolidated reporting for holdings and groups of companies
- Annual and interim IFRS reporting for the group
- First-time adoption of IFRS
- Methodology for complex areas: leases, financial instruments, business combinations
- Intercompany eliminations and consolidation adjustments

03
Tax Tax consulting

Tax consulting
Scope of work
- Tax model setup for the business structure
- Tax Health Check — a diagnostic of the current tax position
- Filing of VAT and Corporate Tax returns
- Consulting on the group's tax structure
- Risk analysis as UAE legislation changes
- Support for interaction with the UAE tax authority (FTA)
04
TP Transfer Pricing
When to engage: Use this when the group has intragroup transactions or loans between jurisdictions, or when the risk of FTA questions on intra-group pricing has appeared.
Transfer Pricing
Scope of work
- Diagnostic of controlled transactions and related-party relationships
- Preparation of full TP documentation: Master File, Local File, CbCR
- Justification and defence of the transfer pricing methodology
- Benchmarking for planning and price justification

Important: With the introduction of Corporate Tax in the UAE (in effect since 2023), all intragroup transactions must comply with the arm's length principle. The absence of documentation during an audit is a direct risk of additional assessments and penalties.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you work with international groups across several jurisdictions?
Yes, this is one of our core areas. We work with holding structures that have companies in the UAE, Europe, the CIS and other jurisdictions — consolidation, intragroup transactions, TP documentation and tax structuring across the whole group.
Do we need Transfer Pricing documentation if we are a small group?
Yes. In the UAE, TP requirements apply to companies with intragroup transactions regardless of business size. The absence of documentation in an FTA audit is a direct risk of additional assessments. It is better to deal with this in advance than in a rush before an audit.
We already have an accountant. Why do we need ADE?
An accountant closes operational accounting: postings, returns, bank. ADE works at a higher level: complex accounting issues, tax strategy, IFRS reporting, Transfer Pricing, methodology for a group of companies. These are different tasks — and many of our clients work with us in parallel with their internal accountant.
How fast can we prepare IFRS reporting if it has never existed?
It depends on the business structure and the completeness of source data. We start with a diagnostic: we review current records, structure, accounting policy — and give realistic timelines. Usually the first IFRS reporting takes 4 to 12 weeks.
What is a Tax Health Check and what do we get at the output?
It is a diagnostic of the business's current tax position: we check the correctness of VAT, Corporate Tax, the presence of TP risks, and whether the company structure meets current FTA requirements. The output is a concrete list of risks and recommendations on how to address them.
Do you work only with large companies?
No. Our clients include both international groups with several jurisdictions and companies that have just opened in the UAE and are building accounting from scratch. The format and scope of support is matched to the task.
