What does a chartered accountant do?
A chartered accountant helps organise, review and interpret financial information, supporting reporting, tax, audit readiness and business controls.
Bookkeeping records day-to-day transactions. Chartered accounting support adds financial review, technical judgement and advice tailored to the engagement.
When should you get support?
When books fall behind, balances do not reconcile, statements are missing, or a bank, auditor or free zone requests financial records. Tax queries, AML requirements, expansion and system changes are also useful review points.
What records should you prepare?
Share your trade licence, available ledgers and statements, bank records, invoices, contracts, tax registrations and prior filings. We confirm the specific checklist after understanding the scope.
How do UAE requirements connect?
The FTA administers corporate tax and VAT, with tax services accessed through EmaraTax. Financial reporting, free zone rules, AML obligations and related-party requirements depend on your circumstances.

a practical purpose.
Usman Hafeez Khawaja
Founder & CEO
With a career that began in 2007, Usman leads Brainstorm’s focus on clear financial information, well-documented work and practical support for UAE businesses.
Before we begin.
Clear answers to common questions about accounting, audit, tax and compliance support in the UAE.
What services can Brainstorm help with?
Accounting and bookkeeping, audit services, corporate tax, VAT, tax-agent support, AML compliance, liquidation documentation, financial evidence for police-report matters, e-invoicing readiness and ERP solutions.
Is Brainstorm an FTA-approved tax agency?
Brainstorm identifies itself as an FTA-approved tax agency. Ask our team for the registration details and the proposed representation scope before your engagement.
Can one firm coordinate our books, tax work and audit?
Related work can be coordinated, but assurance work must meet applicable independence requirements. We clarify responsibilities, engagement scope and any required separation before accepting the work.
Does every UAE company need an audit?
Requirements vary by legal structure, licensing authority, free zone, financing arrangements and other obligations. We review the requirements relevant to your entity rather than assume a universal rule.
Do you support free zone companies?
Yes. Support includes free zone financial reporting and audit preparation, including Hamriyah, Sharjah SAIF and DAFZA-related requirements. The applicable authority’s current requirements and auditor eligibility must be checked for the engagement.
Are free zone businesses automatically exempt from corporate tax?
No. The treatment depends on the business and whether relevant conditions are met. We assess your activities, income, documentation and applicable requirements before advising.
Can you help with VAT and FTA enquiries?
Yes. Work can include eligibility review, registration or deregistration, returns, reconciliations, refund support and correspondence. Representation and submissions are subject to the agreed scope and authorisation.
Can you fix incomplete or delayed bookkeeping?
We review the records available, identify missing documents and agree a clean-up plan. The work may include reconciliations, ledger corrections, opening balances and preparation of financial reports.
Which businesses need AML support?
Obligations depend on your activities and regulatory classification. For applicable businesses, support may cover goAML, customer due diligence, beneficial ownership, risk assessments, screening, policies and training.
What does e-invoicing support include?
Readiness assessment, invoice-data review, process mapping and accounting or ERP integration coordination. The project scope should reflect the requirements applicable to your business; this does not represent a claim of accredited service-provider status.
Which accounting systems do you support?
Support may include Tally, QuickBooks, SAGE, Zoho Books and cloud accounting workflows, with requirements assessed for migration, access controls, inventory, invoicing and reporting.
How are fees and timelines agreed?
They depend on transaction volume, record quality, entity structure and deliverables. After an initial review, request a written scope, document checklist, fee proposal and expected timeline.
