    Accounting firms in Dubai, which one to use?

    Because everything is logged automatically now for expenses as we implemented expensify for all the expenses as they asked for every single receipts very late in the process so it took some time. Also, no more backlog as they are now doing the books twice a year directly in a dedicated odoo...

    Accounting firms in Dubai, which one to use?

    It was not a setup but accounting and financial audit. Backlog of 3 years took 3 weeks/a month. Audit took longer but they didn't ask for everything all at once and we waited for a long time for the official bank letter. Whole process took almost 3 months but next time it will take less than 3...

    Looking for PRO service in Dubai

    It's so weird that every freezone has a different process. Mine doesn't process ID so you have to go to outside the freezone and you can't initiate the process wIthout the visa as ID is tied to the visa duration. For the visa, mine doesn't care about your ID, they request you passport, license...

    Currenxie is available without a hassle, basic but reliable service. It doesn't provide a card though on your euro account and by being backed by UK bank sometimes fees are very unreliable to send money back to uae. Paysera is an option as well even if sometimes they ask you for all your...

    Emirati is 10% of the population at best. You will never deal in Arabic with officials. Their kids don't even speak Arabic because their nannies are Filipinos. You will however hear all flavor of English from perfect to barely comprehensible
