Five service lines

Accounting. Tax. Finance. Advisory. Formation.

Every service belongs to one of five lines, and each line has its own page. Most clients need something from more than one.

  • Accounting

    Bookkeeping and bank reconciliation: the monthly records underneath every return, statement and decision, kept on the basis each tax authority expects.

    • Monthly bookkeeping
    • Bank and payment-processor reconciliation
    • Catch-up and clean-up of earlier periods

How work is structured

Four ways an engagement usually looks.

Most clients combine more than one. Whatever the mix, you receive a written scope and fee before work begins.

  1. 01

    One-off registrations

    Forming a company, obtaining an EIN, ITIN, NTN or TRN, registering for VAT or sales tax. A defined piece of work with a clear finish.

    e.g. US LLC formation, UAE VAT registration

  2. 02

    Annual compliance

    The returns and statements that come round every year, prepared from your records and filed on time with your approval.

    e.g. Form 1120 and 5472, CT600, UAE Corporate Tax

  3. 03

    Monthly and quarterly work

    Bookkeeping, reconciliations and periodic returns such as VAT or sales tax, on a fixed schedule so nothing builds up.

    e.g. VAT returns, Pakistan sales tax

  4. 04

    Clean-up and advice

    Catch-up bookkeeping, late filings put right, and structured advice on entity choice or cross-border questions.

    e.g. catch-up books, structure reviews

Our approach

Obligations first. Optimisation second.

Every engagement starts with a list of what your business is actually required to register and file, in each country it touches. Planning comes after the basics are secure.

How it works

What happens after you get in touch.

Five steps, the same for a single EIN application as for a year of bookkeeping across four countries.

Start with a conversation
  1. A first conversation

    By video or phone. We ask where the business is registered, where it trades, what’s already been filed and what’s worrying you. You don’t need to prepare anything formal.

    Usually 30 minutes

  2. A written scope and quote

    We set out exactly what we’ll handle, what we’ll need from you, the timeline and the fee, in an engagement letter. Nothing starts until you’ve agreed it.

    Engagement letter

  3. Secure document collection

    You get a checklist specific to your filings, not a generic list, and upload documents through a secure portal rather than email or messaging apps.

    Checklist + secure upload

  4. Preparation and review

    One person prepares the work and a second reviews it before anything reaches you. Questions come to you in one batch, not a drip of emails.

    Prepared, then reviewed

  5. Your approval, then filing

    You see what will be submitted and approve it. We file, send you the confirmation, and add your next obligations to the calendar we keep for you.

    Filed with your sign-off

Fees

Our fees are published.

Formation packages, tax returns, monthly bookkeeping plans and advisory sessions are on one price list, in dollars, pounds, dirhams and rupees. Government and third-party costs are shown separately, and you have your own figure in writing before work begins.

See the price list

How do your fees work?

We publish them. Registrations and returns carry a fixed professional fee, or a stated range that depends on complexity, and recurring work such as bookkeeping is a monthly fee. Government and third-party costs are shown separately, and you have the total in writing before anything starts.

Why are some fees shown as a range?

Because the same return or registration can involve different amounts of work. The lower figure is for a straightforward case with complete, organised records. After a short scoping conversation we tell you where in the range you fall, in writing, before work begins.

What’s included in a fee, and what isn’t?

Each published fee is our professional fee for the work described. Government filing fees, registered agent charges, licence and visa costs, payroll provider charges and similar third-party amounts are passed on at cost and listed separately in the engagement letter.

Do you charge for registrations the government provides free?

Our fee is for the work, not the registration. The IRS does not charge for an EIN, and at the time of writing the UAE Federal Tax Authority does not charge for Corporate Tax or VAT registration. Where we handle one for you, the fee covers preparing, checking and submitting the application and following it through, and your invoice describes it that way.

Can I combine services at one fee?

Yes. Formation, the first registrations and the first return are available as bundles, and a monthly plan can carry agreed add-ons such as payroll coordination or sales tax returns. The bundle fee and exactly what it covers are set out before you agree to it.

Is the first conversation charged?

[Firm to confirm whether the initial consultation is free, and its usual length.] Either way, you’ll know before the call.

What if my situation turns out to be more complicated than expected?

We tell you as soon as we find it, explain why, and quote for the additional work before doing it. You’re never billed for scope you didn’t agree to.

Speak with a consultant

Not sure which of these you need? That’s what the first conversation is for.

Pick the closest match and we’ll take it from there. You’ll get a written scope and fee before any work begins.
