Why UAE Businesses Outsource Their Accounting
The in-house math rarely works for SMBs: salary, medical insurance, gratuity, software, and cover for leave — for a role that still needs senior review at filing time.
Lower Cost Than Hiring
A full-time in-house accountant in Dubai commands a salary of several thousand dirhams a month before medical insurance, gratuity, software and other employment costs — and still needs senior review for filings. An outsourced team covers the same ground for a fraction of that.
A Whole Team, Not One Hire
You get a bookkeeper, an accountant, and an FTA-Approved Tax Agent behind every filing — no single point of failure, no coverage gaps when someone is on leave.
FTA Compliance Built In
VAT and corporate tax rules change; your outsourced team tracks them so you avoid the penalties that come with missed deadlines and misfiled returns.
Scale Up or Down
Your scope flexes with your transaction volume and headcount — no recruitment cycle, no redundancy cost when things change.
How Our Outsourced Accounting Service Works
We start with a free review of your books. We look at your transaction volume, VAT and corporate tax position, existing software, and any backlog — then quote one flat fixed monthly fee, agreed in writing before any work starts. No hourly billing, no surprise extras at year-end.
From there, a named accountant takes over the day-to-day: transactions recorded, banks reconciled, and monthly reports delivered on a fixed schedule. VAT returns and corporate tax filings are prepared and supported by an FTA-Approved Tax Agent — we advise, prepare, and support every submission, and your business files with the authority with our guidance at every step. If your needs are narrower, our dedicated bookkeeping service or accounting & financial reporting service may fit better — we will tell you honestly in the review.
As you grow, the engagement grows with you: management reporting deepens, payroll comes in-scope, and when you need strategy rather than just clean books, our Virtual CFO service adds executive-level financial leadership on top of the same foundation.
Comparing Accounting Outsourcing Companies in Dubai?
Ask every firm the same three questions: what exactly is in the monthly fee, who actually works your file, and will they stand behind the filings before the FTA. Sky Sigma answers all three in writing — one flat fixed monthly fee, quoted upfront after a free review, a named accountant, and FTA-Approved Tax Agent representation.
