We're one of the accounting firms in Dubai SMEs actually stick with. FTA-compliant accounting services in Dubai that keep your bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax in order, whether you're on the mainland or in a free zone. The price is a clear monthly figure, and it's the figure you pay.
Built for UAE deadlines.
Bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax reports kept aligned with your UAE filing calendar.
Official UAE Free Zone Partner
Velmont Crest is a direct commissioned agent and official channel partner of Meydan Free Zone and RAKEZ, plus a referral partner across other major UAE free zones like DMCC, IFZA and SHAMS. That means we can handle your business setup in Dubai and the wider UAE from the very start. We get the company formation, trade licence and visas sorted, then pick up the bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax that come after, so nothing falls through the gap when the licence is issued.
Authorised Channel PartnerA central-Dubai free zone that suits service, consultancy and trading businesses. Because we're an official channel partner and direct commissioned agent, your Meydan free zone company formation runs through us, which usually means faster processing and one team looking after you from the application to the trade licence.
Authorised Channel PartnerRas Al Khaimah Economic Zone is one of the UAE's most cost-efficient free zones for trading, industrial and SME company formation. As an official RAKEZ channel partner, we get you a direct line into the zone itself, which keeps the licensing smoother and the whole free zone setup genuinely budget-friendly for a growing business.
Beyond Meydan and RAKEZ, we're a referral partner across other major UAE free zones too, including DMCC, IFZA, SHAMS, DIFC, ADGM and JAFZA. So whatever your activity and budget, we can point your company toward the free zone or mainland licence that actually fits how you plan to trade.

About Velmont Crest
We're an accounting practice built for UAE SMEs. Most of our clients run mainland companies in Dubai; plenty sit in the free zones too. Here's the part most firms skip: the junior who does your bookkeeping is rarely the person who understands your VAT or corporate tax position. So nobody catches the small stuff until the FTA deadline is staring you down. We run it the other way round. A senior person stays on your books, and the work follows the filing calendar instead of scrambling to meet it.
Why Choose Velmont Crest
Clients change. The way we work doesn't. Three things hold steady every cycle, whether you're a Dubai mainland company, a free zone entity, or a UAE SME that's outgrown its spreadsheets.
No overseas branches to juggle. Just accounting services in Dubai for SMEs who want VAT, corporate tax and bookkeeping done by people who actually read the FTA notices.
We run your books against the FTA calendar, not the other way round. VAT, corporate tax, ESR, AML. The records are ready well before the filing date turns into a panic.
Email a VAT question, hear back from someone who's seen your bookkeeping. No ticket queue, no being passed around. A plain answer on corporate tax or a deadline, usually same day.
Why Clients Trust Us
A mainland LLC and a free zone company don't get the same treatment, and pretending otherwise is where the trouble starts. We read the current FTA and Ministry of Finance guidance, then apply it to your actual licence, your VAT position and your corporate tax exposure.
One fee a month. You know it before the work starts, and it doesn't creep. Ask a question and you get a plain answer, not a clock ticking on a billable hour. The compliance work stays tied to what you actually owe the FTA.
Nobody enjoys the week before an audit. We make it boring on purpose. Clean monthly books, VAT-ready reports, corporate tax workpapers and audit schedules are done before anyone asks for them, so the request is a non-event.

Expertise
We're a Dubai accounting firm, and most of our work is unglamorous on purpose. VAT, corporate tax, bookkeeping, the AML paperwork a lot of owners didn't know applied to them. Behind the monthly reporting sits the part that matters when an auditor turns up: real financial statements, working controls, schedules that actually tie out. We keep everything lined up with the UAE Federal Tax Authority rulebook the way it reads now, not the way it read two years ago. And we add CFO advisory when an SME needs the numbers to make a decision, not just to satisfy a filing.

Accounting Services in Dubai
Accounting and bookkeeping services, done monthly, the way Dubai SMEs actually need them. We keep the books clean enough that an auditor never raises an eyebrow, mainland or free zone alike.
We cover the whole of your VAT services in Dubai: getting you registered, filing the quarterly returns, and yes, chasing down the refund when the FTA owes you money back.
UAE e-invoicing lands soon, and there's more to the setup than most people expect. We handle the PEPPOL access point and wire it cleanly into whatever accounting software you already run.
For most owners, corporate tax UAE is still unfamiliar territory. We register you, work out what you genuinely owe, and get the return filed with time to spare, never in a last-minute scramble.
Months behind on the books? Happens more than anyone admits. Our backlog accounting catches up the prior periods and reconciles the banks, leaving a cleanup that holds up if a penalty ever gets questioned.
Sometimes you just need a finance brain in the room for the big calls. CFO advisory Dubai founders can lean on when the numbers get serious, without carrying a full-time finance salary on the payroll.
Month-end payroll shouldn't be a scramble. We run UAE payroll so the WPS SIF files clear the bank first time, payslips go out on schedule, and your gratuity accruals sit right in the books.
When stock is where your money quietly disappears, inventory accounting earns its keep. We reconcile it, value it properly, and show you the real margin. Made for trading, retail and F&B.
Accounts receivable and payable is really one question: who owes you, and who are you paying next? We keep the ageing current and the payment runs on schedule, so your cash position stops drifting between reports.
There's no reason audit season should swallow a whole quarter. Our audit assistance preps the schedules and notes up front, then fields the auditor's queries directly so they never land on your desk.
Mainland or free zone is the first real decision, and the right call depends on what you do, where the tax lands, and how the books work afterward. Our business setup advisory helps you choose before you commit.
For a UAE DNFBP, AML compliance is mandatory, and the fines for getting it wrong are steep. We get you registered on goAML, sort out the MLRO appointment, and build a KYC framework that actually holds up.
How we work
No vague "we'll sort it out" promises. Here's the actual sequence of working with Velmont Crest, with the tools we use and the dates things land on.
On the call we open EmaraTax together, pull up your trade licence, and look at whatever accounting file you've got. Honestly, this is where most of the surprises show up. By the time we hang up we know your VAT status, your CT registration date, and exactly which records need rebuilding before the next cycle.
Output: A 1-page scoping memo and retainer estimate in your inbox within 48 hours.
You get one engagement letter that says the monthly fee, spells out what's in scope and what isn't, and names the date your books move onto our system. Usually that's Zoho Books or QuickBooks UAE. No surprise line items at quarter-end. We've all been burned by that before.
Output: Signed engagement letter + Zoho/QBO instance provisioned within 5 working days.
Bank recs, invoice and bill capture, VAT classification, payroll posting, the fixed-asset register. The boring stuff, done on time. Your closed-period pack lands the same week the month ends, which is the whole point: a backlog quarter never gets a chance to build up.
Output: Monthly close pack — P&L, balance sheet, cash position, VAT working — by the 7th.
We draft your VAT-201 mid-cycle and review it well before the 28-day deadline, not the night before. Corporate tax exposure gets tracked quarter on quarter too. So when the annual return comes around it's a confirmation of numbers you've already seen, not a nasty year-end discovery.
Output: VAT-201 draft + corporate-tax exposure note 10 days before the FTA deadline.
Workpapers, schedules, reconciliations, notes, all of it in one indexed PDF the auditor can actually navigate. Your CT return is prepared inside the 9-month FTA window. We don't sign the audit itself, to be clear. That stays with your MoET-registered audit firm, where it belongs.
Output: Indexed audit pack + prepared corporate-tax return + workpaper archive retained.

In plain terms
Velmont Crest provides accounting services in Dubai for SMEs that need the compliance stack handled without hiring in-house: monthly bookkeeping with bank reconciliation, VAT return preparation inside the FTA's 28-day filing window, corporate tax registration and the annual return tracked against your trade-licence date, and audit-ready workpapers maintained through the year rather than rebuilt at year-end. The same practice covers mainland LLCs and free zone companies — including QFZP positions, where the qualifying-income rules decide whether your 0% rate survives.
Fees are fixed monthly retainers starting at AED 299, published in full on the pricing page, with anything outside scope quoted in writing before work starts. Communication runs WhatsApp-first with same-day replies during UAE business hours. If you're comparing firms, start with the free calculators on our tools page, read the client engagements on the Voices page, and book a free 30-minute review when you're ready — we'll tell you honestly whether you need us monthly or just for a single filing.
