Services
Twelve service lines across tax, finance and corporate services — delivered by one firm, so nothing falls between advisers.
DIFC structures — Family Offices, Foundations and SPV holding companies — are coordinated through a partner firm licensed for that work. How that works →
VAT
From registration through to refund claims and voluntary disclosures — handled by a registered Tax Agency, so the same firm that prepares the return can defend it.
- VAT registration, amendment and deregistration
- Monthly and quarterly return filing
- Refund claim preparation and follow-up
- Voluntary disclosures where an error is found
- Transaction and treatment reviews
- Reverse charge and import VAT review
What you get: A draft return and computation for your approval before anything is filed, the FTA acknowledgement, and a working file you can produce years later if the return is ever questioned.
Corporate Tax
UAE Corporate Tax is new enough that most of the cost sits in getting the first position right. We establish it, then maintain it.
- Corporate Tax registration
- Return preparation and filing
- Small Business Relief assessment
- Free zone qualifying income review
- Transfer pricing — see the dedicated section below
- Group structuring review
What you get: A documented tax position, the filed return, and a clear view of whether a relief or free zone status applies to you.
Transfer pricing & benchmarking
Related party transactions have to be priced at arm’s length, and the burden of showing that sits with you. Benchmarking is what turns an assertion into evidence.
- Related party transaction mapping
- Benchmarking studies — comparables search and arm’s length range
- Master file and local file preparation
- Transfer pricing disclosure form
- Intercompany agreement review
- Transfer pricing policy design
- Support during an FTA review of a related party position
What you get: A documented arm’s length position supported by a benchmarking study, so the pricing can be defended rather than explained.
Tax Agency & FTA representation
This is the service most firms cannot offer. A Tax Agent is appointed through the FTA and can correspond and act on your behalf; an unregistered adviser cannot.
- Appointment of Zaryx as your Tax Agent
- FTA audit representation
- Response to clarifications and queries
- Penalty reconsideration requests
- Objections and escalation
- EmaraTax portal management
What you get: A registered agent on the record with the FTA, so correspondence comes to us and is answered properly and on time.
Accounting & bookkeeping
Accurate records are the foundation of every filing that follows. We keep them to UAE standards, in software you can actually use.
- Bookkeeping to UAE regulatory standards
- Fully outsourced accounting function
- Zoho Books setup, migration and training
- Tax-compliant invoicing
- Monthly management reporting
- Year-end close and audit support
What you get: Books that are current, reconciled and ready for a VAT or Corporate Tax filing without a scramble at the deadline.
E-invoicing & ASP appointment
UAE e-invoicing requires an accredited service provider. We assess readiness, select the right ASP and manage the appointment.
- E-invoicing readiness assessment
- ASP selection and appointment
- Invoice data and format mapping
- Integration planning with your accounting system
- Staff briefing and process change
What you get: A compliant e-invoicing setup with an appointed ASP, and a process your finance team can run without us.
Company formation & liquidation
We are a channel partner with four free zones, so we can compare them honestly rather than recommend whichever one we are tied to. We also handle the other end — closing a company down properly.
- Free zone setup — Meydan, SHAMS, Ajman Free Zone, RAKEZ
- Mainland company formation in Dubai
- Licensing, visas and establishment cards
- Bank account opening support
- Company liquidation and deregistration
- Final VAT and Corporate Tax deregistration
What you get: A licensed entity with the right registrations in the right order — or, on the way out, a clean closure with no trailing tax obligations.
PRO services
The administrative work that follows a licence. Handled so it does not land on whoever in your team has the least to do that week.
- Visa processing and renewals
- Emirates ID and medical coordination
- Trade licence renewals
- Establishment card and labour file
- Document attestation and translation
- Government department liaison
What you get: Deadlines tracked and renewals processed before they lapse, with one point of contact rather than a queue at a service centre.
Outsourced CFO
Not every business can hire a full-time CFO. Every business past a certain size needs the thinking one provides.
- Senior financial oversight
- Budgeting, forecasting and cash flow
- Profitability and margin analysis
- Board and investor reporting
- Financing and lender liaison
- Finance team structure and process
What you get: Monthly financial oversight and a report you can take to a board or a bank, without a full-time salary on the payroll.
Internal audit
Internal audit looks at whether your controls actually work — not whether your accounts present fairly. It is management’s tool, not the regulator’s.
- Risk-based internal audit planning
- Controls design and effectiveness testing
- Procure-to-pay and revenue cycle review
- Segregation of duties and authorisation limits
- Stock, cash and expense controls
- Findings report with ranked remediation actions
What you get: A report your management or board can act on, with findings ranked by exposure rather than listed alphabetically.
AML advisory
UAE AML obligations fall on designated non-financial businesses and professions — real estate, dealers in precious metals, corporate service providers, accountants and tax advisers among them. We are a DNFBP ourselves, so this is not theory to us.
- DNFBP status assessment
- goAML registration and portal setup
- Customer due diligence policy and procedures
- Risk assessment and customer risk rating
- Sanctions and PEP screening process
- Staff training and record-keeping framework
- Readiness review ahead of a supervisory inspection
What you get: A documented AML framework you can hand to a supervisory authority, and staff who know what to do when a file does not look right.
Business process design
Most finance problems are process problems wearing a finance costume. We map what actually happens, then design what should.
- Procure to Pay — requisition, approval, receipt, payment
- Order to Cash — quote, invoice, collection, credit control
- Record to Report — close calendar and reconciliations
- Approval matrices and delegation of authority
- Written SOPs your team can follow without you
- Process design ahead of an accounting system rollout
What you get: Documented processes with named owners and approval limits, so the close does not depend on one person remembering how it is done.
