Accounting & bookkeeping services

People often use "bookkeeping" and "accounting" as if they were the same thing. They aren't — and knowing the difference is the first step to books you can actually trust.

Bookkeeping is the disciplined recording of every financial transaction — sales, purchases, receipts and payments — into the right ledger as it happens. It is the daily, unglamorous work that keeps your cash book, supplier ledger and customer ledger accurate and current.

Accounting is broader. It takes the records the bookkeeper maintains and turns them into something useful: VAT returns, Corporate Tax computations, financial statements, MIS dashboards and the analysis that informs real decisions.

GetMyAccounting handles both ends — day-to-day bookkeeping, VAT accounting, payroll posting, management reporting and the preparation of audit-ready financial statements — for businesses of every size across the Emirates.

The bookkeeper brings your books to trial-balance stage. A chartered accountant then uses that trial balance and the underlying ledgers to prepare your income statement, balance sheet and the rest of your financial statements.

Maintaining accurate books of accounts is not optional in the UAE — under VAT and Corporate Tax law, every business must keep proper records for at least five years and file on time. Yet most small and growing businesses don't have an in-house finance team, and shouldn't have to build one.

That's the gap we fill. We pair experienced chartered accountants with systematised monthly processes and the latest cloud accounting software, so you get the rigour of a finance department at a fraction of the cost — and a single fixed monthly fee with no hourly surprises.
