Read More- What services do you provide, and which ones do I actually need?
-
We provide statutory and regulatory audits, internal audits, bookkeeping, VAT and Corporate Tax, AML/CTF/CPF compliance, and CFO-level advisory services. We start with a short conversation, then recommend a focused scope so you only pay for what genuinely adds value.
- Do I really need a statutory audit in the UAE?
-
It depends on your legal form, license, and regulator, as well as what banks, investors, or stakeholders require. We review your licence and structure and confirm exactly what type of audit you need, and why.
- How do I choose the right auditor or accounting firm?
-
Look for strong qualifications, UAE regulatory experience, IFRS and tax expertise, and a transparent quality framework. At HJS, engagements are partner-led with transparent fees and practical, action-oriented reports.
- What’s the difference between an external audit, an internal audit, and agreed-upon procedures?
-
An external audit gives assurance on your financial statements. Internal audit focuses on controls, risk and process improvement. Agreed-upon procedures are targeted checks on specific areas of concern. We help you pick the right level of assurance for your objectives and budget.
- When should my business register for VAT and Corporate Tax?
-
Once you approach the mandatory thresholds, plan your registration, ideally, before you cross them. We monitor your numbers, confirm your obligations and manage registration and ongoing filings end-to-end.
- How can you help me reduce tax risks and avoid penalties?
-
We review your contracts, records, and filings, highlighting exposure areas and recommending corrective actions. Where necessary, we support voluntary disclosures and implement controls to ensure ongoing compliance.
- What records should I keep for audit, VAT and Corporate Tax?
-
You should maintain clean ledgers, registers, bank reconciliations, contracts, payroll records, inventory records, fixed asset records, and complete VAT/CT workings. We help design documentation and archiving that satisfy both audit and tax requirements.
- What is AML/CTF/CPF compliance, and am I a DNFBP?
-
If you are in a regulated sector (such as audit/accounting, real estate, DPMS or corporate services), you may be a DNFBP with specific AML obligations. We assess your status and build or upgrade your policies, risk assessment, KYC/CDD and goAML reporting framework.
- How are your fees calculated?
-
Our fees are driven by factors such as size, complexity, record quality, and regulatory requirements, rather than just turnover. We agree on a clear scope and fee upfront (fixed or retainer-based), with no hidden extras.
- What is a fractional CFO, and how is it different from bookkeeping?
-
Bookkeeping records the past; a fractional CFO helps shape the future, encompassing budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, KPIs, banking, and providing board-level decision support. HJS provides CFO-grade insight on a flexible basis, so you get strategic finance leadership without a full-time hire.
