Accounting Supervision UAE
You have an accountant in-house - but who checks their work? Our senior CPAs review your ledgers monthly, catch IFRS errors before they reach the auditors, and sign off on management accounts.
Who needs accounting supervision?
Businesses with in-house junior accountants, part-time bookkeepers, or offshore accounting teams often lack senior oversight. Errors compound silently - and surface during a statutory audit or FTA review. Accounting supervision provides a senior layer without the cost of a full-time CFO or Finance Director.
| Situation | What Supervision Fixes |
|---|---|
| Junior accountant handling CT and VAT | Senior review catches misclassifications, wrong VAT treatments, and CT adjustments before filing |
| Offshore or outsourced bookkeeping team | UAE-based senior oversight ensures local compliance - IFRS, VAT, and CT requirements not always known offshore |
| Auditors flagging repeated prior-year errors | Monthly supervision prevents carry-forward of the same issues year after year |
| Board or investors requiring signed management accounts | Our senior CPA reviews and signs off monthly accounts for governance reporting |
| Growing business scaling accounting function | Supervision mentors your team while maintaining output quality through the growth phase |
How accounting supervision works
Monthly ledger review
At month-end, our senior CPA reviews your trial balance, checks journal entries for IFRS compliance, flags misclassifications, and marks items for correction before the ledger is closed.
Corrections & reclassifications
We raise correcting journal entries (or instruct your accountant to post them), reconcile any balance sheet variances, and ensure the period closes cleanly before management accounts are issued.
Sign-off & management accounts
We issue signed management accounts (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) in your required format - board pack, investor report, or bank covenant test - within 5 business days of month-end close.
Transparent Pricing - No Surprises
Monthly retainer. Includes up to 4 review sessions per month and unlimited email queries to our supervision team.

Accounting supervision - frequently asked questions
What is the difference between bookkeeping and accounting supervision?
Bookkeeping is the day-to-day recording of transactions. Accounting supervision is senior oversight of whoever does the bookkeeping - reviewing their work, catching errors, ensuring IFRS compliance, and signing off on outputs. We offer both services, separately or together.
Do you work with my existing accountant?
Yes. Supervision is designed to work alongside your existing accountant or bookkeeper. We review their work, not replace them. Many clients keep their in-house team and add our supervision layer.
What accounting standards do you apply?
IFRS as adopted in the UAE. We also apply FTA-specific requirements for CT and VAT accounting treatment where relevant - these are not always covered by standard IFRS training.
Can you prepare for an external audit?
Yes. Part of our supervision mandate is audit-readiness - maintaining clean reconciliations and documentation throughout the year so the external audit is a smooth process, not a scramble.
Is there a minimum contract period?
Three months minimum, then monthly rolling. Most clients stay long-term because the cost is far lower than hiring a full-time senior accountant.
