Restoring accounting for companies in the UAE

Every company has its own reasons why bookkeeping may not have been kept at all, or was kept with errors. Whatever difficulties you've run into, all reporting can be restored.

We'll help put your books in order so the FTA has no questions, even if no accounting was kept for past periods at all. The cost of the service starts from AED 700 — several times less than the potential losses from fines.

Why you shouldn't delay restoring your accounting if it's needed

Late filing of returns and errors in reporting can lead to fines and loss of your licence. The accounting restoration service helps you avoid these problems by rebuilding and formalizing all the data for previous periods. This process is fully legal and can be started at any time.

But we recommend addressing this as early as possible if you have documentation problems. Don't wait until filing deadlines are approaching or the FTA sends an official request.

The main reason is the risk of losing more money:

Through fines. Penalties for a late return start from AED 1,000; for failing to submit reporting at all — AED 10,000.
Because the cost of restoring your books keeps rising. It depends directly on the volume of work. Every extra month of unrecorded data adds more work for our specialists — the later you reach out for the service, the higher the price will be.

Missing data and problems with the FTA can also damage your company's reputation with clients, banks and government bodies.

Why trust us with restoring your accounting?

We help without the stress. We advise on proper reporting practices and reducing tax risk, and give recommendations for organizing correct bookkeeping.
We work quickly and transparently. Two of our specialists will be reachable at all times, ready to answer your questions. We organize the process so gathering information doesn't drag on, and you can check on the documentation's progress at any moment.
We take confidentiality seriously. All the data you provide is protected and accessible only to the specialists working with you.

Leave a request in the form on the site. We'll discuss the starting data with you, estimate the volume of work, and give you the price for restoring your books. We work with companies in Dubai and across the UAE, and can arrange our cooperation fully online.

Frequently asked questions
Why restore accounting if it was never kept in the first place?
Without bookkeeping you can't file returns, pass an FTA audit, or renew your licence. Restoration is legal at any time and costs less than the fines for failing to submit reports (up to AED 10,000) and for late returns.
What does the restoration service include?
Analyzing the current state of your books, gathering and organizing documents, correcting errors, preparing corrective reports, and filing missed or corrected VAT and Corporate Tax returns.
How long does restoration take?
The timeline depends on the volume and the number of periods that need restoring. We'll give you an exact timeframe once we've assessed the volume of documents and the state of your current reporting.
Can accounting be restored for several years at once?
Yes, we restore accounting for any number of past periods. The cost starts from AED 700 per month of restoration and grows with volume — the sooner we start, the cheaper it will be.
What documents are needed?
Bank statements for the relevant periods, source documents (invoices, contracts, receipts), and a copy of the trade licence. If some documents are lost, we'll help figure out what can be restored and how.
Can this be done from scratch if no accounting was ever kept?
Yes. Even if no accounting was kept at all, we'll gather and organize the data from the documents and bank statements you have, so the FTA has no questions.
What if the accounting is being kept, but with errors?
We'll review your current reporting, find the errors, and prepare corrective returns. From there, you can also hand us your ongoing bookkeeping so this doesn't happen again.
