Books that stand up to tax, audit, and your own decisions
Books are more than a legal formality in the UAE. They are the record the Federal Tax Authority relies on, the basis of every VAT and Corporate Tax return you file, and the starting point for any audit. When they are accurate and up to date, everything downstream costs you less time and less money.
Cayfren keeps your ledgers current, reconciled, and structured under a proper chart of accounts, so you always know where the business stands. We work with founders, SMEs, and free zone entities, and tailor the depth of service to how the business actually operates.
- Records maintained under IFRS, the framework recognised across the UAE
- One team for setup, tax, accounting, and audit, with no handoffs between firms
- Books kept tax-ready, so VAT and Corporate Tax filings are work already done when the deadline arrives
- Optional automation on Accounts-AI to cut manual data entry
A complete finance function, handled
From the first transaction to signed financial statements, we cover the full accounting cycle so nothing falls through the cracks.
Day-to-day bookkeeping
Every sale, purchase, expense, and journal recorded accurately and on time, coded to a clean chart of accounts you can actually read.
Bank & account reconciliations
Regular reconciliation of bank, card, and control accounts, so your ledger always agrees with reality and errors surface early.
Accounts payable & receivable
Supplier bills and customer invoices tracked, aged, and reconciled, giving you a clear view of who you owe and who owes you.
Payroll-related entries
Salaries, end-of-service accruals, and related postings recorded correctly, keeping staff costs and liabilities properly reflected in your books.
Month-end & year-end closing
Structured close routines with accruals, prepayments, and adjustments, so each period is finalised, reviewed, and locked with confidence.
Reporting & financial statements
Management reports when you need them, plus preparation of financial statements under IFRS, ready for owners, banks, and auditors.
How we keep your books in order
A simple, repeatable rhythm that keeps records current all year, not just at filing time.
Onboard & set up
We review your business, agree a clean chart of accounts, and organise opening balances and access, so the foundation is right from day one.
Record & reconcile
Transactions are captured and coded on a regular cycle, with bank and control accounts reconciled so the ledger stays accurate throughout the period.
Close & review
At month-end we post accruals and adjustments, run a quality review, and finalise the numbers, flagging anything that needs your attention.
Report & advise
You receive clear management reports and, at year-end, financial statements under IFRS, with our team on hand to talk through what the numbers mean.
What automation changes
- Faster document capture and transaction coding
- Human review by our accounting team on every close
- Records kept ready for VAT, Corporate Tax, and audit
Less manual entry, the same review
Where it fits, we deliver your bookkeeping on Accounts-AI, the accounting software we build and run ourselves. It captures documents, drafts entries, and speeds up reconciliations. The time it saves goes into review and analysis rather than data entry.
The numbers are still reviewed by our accounting team before anything is filed or reported. It suits growing businesses that want accurate, current books without building a large in-house finance team.
Why accurate books are worth it
Good bookkeeping is not an overhead. It protects the business, lowers your tax and audit costs, and gives you the numbers to make better calls.
Audit and FTA ready
Complete, reconciled records mean less back and forth with auditors and a stronger position if the Federal Tax Authority ever reviews your filings.
Right tax, first time
Your VAT and Corporate Tax returns are only as reliable as the books behind them. Accurate records reduce the risk of errors, penalties, and amendments.
Clear cash and profit
Current numbers show you real cash flow, margins, and what customers owe you, so you can plan, price, and spend with far more confidence.
Credibility with banks
Financial statements prepared under IFRS give banks, investors, and partners the confidence to lend, invest, and work with you.
A calmer year-end
Books closed month by month mean each deadline arrives with the work already done, not a rush against the clock before every filing date.
One partner, joined up
Because Cayfren also handles your VAT, Corporate Tax, and audit, your books are kept the way those obligations actually need them.
Accounting questions, answered
Common questions from UAE business owners about bookkeeping, records, and reporting.
Do UAE businesses have to keep proper accounting records?
Yes. Under UAE tax law, businesses are required to maintain accounting records and supporting documents, and to retain them for the periods set by the Federal Tax Authority. Proper books are also the basis for VAT and Corporate Tax filings, so keeping them well is both a legal requirement and a practical necessity.
Which accounting framework do you use?
We prepare records and financial statements under IFRS, the framework recognised across the UAE. Where a smaller entity is eligible for a reduced standard such as IFRS for SMEs, we will advise on the most appropriate basis for your business.
How does bookkeeping connect to VAT and Corporate Tax?
Your returns are built directly from your books. Accurate, reconciled records make it far easier to file correct VAT returns and to calculate Corporate Tax, which applies at 9% on taxable income above AED 375,000 and 0% below that threshold. Because we handle tax as well, we keep your accounting structured for those filings from the start.
Can you take over books that are behind or messy?
Yes. Catch-up and clean-up work is a common starting point. We review your current records, correct and reconcile prior periods, and bring everything up to date, then keep it current with a regular monthly routine.
What do I receive, and how often?
You receive reconciled books and management reporting on an agreed cycle, typically monthly, plus financial statements at year-end. We tailor the reports to what matters for your business, and our team is available to walk you through the numbers.
Is the Accounts-AI automation mandatory?
No. Automation on Accounts-AI is available where it adds value, and many businesses benefit from faster capture and fewer manual errors. If you prefer a fully hands-on service, we can deliver that too. Either way, our accounting team reviews your numbers.
Hand your books to the team that also handles your tax and audit
Accurate, tax-ready books under IFRS, from one team for setup, tax, accounting, and audit.
