A simple monthly routine keeps your books audit-ready and your tax returns painless.
Weekly habits
Upload sales and purchase invoices, categorise bank transactions and chase unpaid invoices. Weekly effort prevents month-end pile-ups.
Monthly close
Reconcile every bank and card account, review accruals, post payroll and check the VAT control account against your VAT liability.
Records to keep
UAE law requires you to keep accounting records and tax invoices for at least five years, with some records kept for longer. Store them in a form that can be produced quickly.
Key takeaways
- Reconcile every account every month
- Keep tax invoices for five years or more
- Close the books by the 10th of the following month
