How is the price worked out?
60% of the plan fee that matches your volume, for each month we rebuild, with a minimum of AED 2,500. For a business with up to 100 transactions a month, that is AED 750 a month of records.

Common questions
About backlog accounting.
Not covered here? — we reply within one business day.
We missed the corporate tax deadline. Can you still help?
Yes. We prioritise the periods needed for the return and, where there are grounds, prepare a penalty waiver request.
Can I change plan later?
Yes, at any month-end. Moving up takes effect straight away; moving down from the next month.
What does the monthly management pack contain?
Profit and loss against budget and last year, balance sheet, cash flow, receivables and payables ageing, and a one-page commentary with the three things worth your attention.
