Accounting & bookkeeping
Bookkeeping Services in Abu Dhabi
Soft Power Audit & Tax Agency provides monthly bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll processing and reconciliations that keep your business audit-ready throughout the year, not just at year end. We serve SMEs, startups, contractors, restaurants, clinics and free zone companies in Abu Dhabi, Musaffah, Khalifa City, Yas Island and across the UAE.
Accurate books are the basis of every VAT return, every Corporate Tax filing and every audit. When they are current, compliance becomes routine and the year-end audit costs less and takes less time.

How much does bookkeeping cost?
Bookkeeping costs depend on transaction volume, company size, number of bank accounts, reporting frequency, payroll complexity and VAT obligations. Small businesses typically start from a fixed monthly retainer. We review a sample month, quote a fixed fee in writing, and hold that fee for the engagement period — there are no hourly surprises. Contact us for a customised quotation.
Catch-up and clean-up bookkeeping
If your books are months behind, we can rebuild them. We reconstruct ledgers from bank statements and source documents, reconcile every account, correct historic VAT positions where required through voluntary disclosure, and hand you a clean opening balance. Most catch-up projects are completed in a few weeks, after which you move onto a normal monthly cycle.
Why accurate books matter in the UAE
Beyond compliance, current books give you real visibility of margin, cash flow and receivables. They shorten your audit, reduce the risk of FTA penalties, support bank and investor conversations, and let you make decisions on this month’s numbers rather than last year’s.
- Stay compliant with UAE regulations and FTA record-keeping rules
- Prepare a Corporate Tax computation without last-minute rework
- Improve cash flow visibility and control costs
- File accurate VAT returns on time
- Enter the statutory audit with complete, reconciled records
- Build lender and investor confidence
