Outsourced bookkeeping services in the UAE

Outsourced accounting trades a fixed monthly fee for a done-for-you ledger: reconciliation, VAT and CT filings, and payroll are handled by the service. It costs more than software alone but removes the need for an in-house accountant — the trade-off this page compares.
