Why us
Extra capacity that already knows Gulf rules
CA-led review
Every file is reviewed by a Chartered Accountant before it reaches you, so your reviewers spend their time on judgement, not corrections.
Gulf rules, not just IFRS
We work daily with UAE Corporate Tax and VAT, Qatar Income Tax Law No. 24 of 2018 and the filing rhythms of both countries.
Your hours
India is 1½ hours ahead of the UAE and 2½ hours ahead of Qatar, so files can be ready when your team starts the day.
Scale for peak months
Take on more engagements in the busy season without hiring more staff locally.
Your formats
We use your templates, checklists and file structure, so our work looks like your firm's work.
Confidential by default
Files stay in the shared folders or systems you choose, and access is limited to the team on your engagement.
Busy season
When Gulf firms need extra hands
For 31 December year-ends, most of your workload lands in two waves: Qatar audits and returns early in the year, and UAE Corporate Tax returns before the end of September. We plan our team around both.

Most firms start with one engagement, review our work, then decide how much to send.
Call and NDA
We agree the work types, your review process, turnaround times and how files will be shared, and sign your NDA.
Trial engagement
You send one file, or part of one. We return it in your format so your manager can judge the quality.
Regular work
Send work per engagement, or reserve a set team for your firm each month, scaling up in the busy season.
