How much does bookkeeping cost in Dubai in 2026?

Bookkeeping and accounting fees in Dubai depend on how many transactions you process each month, how many legal entities you operate, and which compliance services you need — VAT, UAE Corporate Tax, payroll, and audit preparation.

Most UAE startups and solo founders pay from AED 999 per month for professional bookkeeping with a chartered accountant. Growing SMEs with higher transaction volumes typically pay from AED 2,500 per month. Multinationals and complex group structures receive custom partner-led quotes.

Why Shaikh Associates pricing is different

Unlike hourly billing firms that surprise you at year-end, we charge a fixed monthly fee that includes bookkeeping, tax filings, financial statements, and ad-hoc partner questions. No hidden charges. No lock-in contracts.

And unlike firms that lock you into 12 months upfront, we offer a 30-day free trial — full bookkeeping on us so you can judge the quality before you commit.
