Better decisions. Stronger businesses.

Business Advisory Services in Dubai, UAE

Structuring, planning, governance and performance support for UAE businesses and international groups making decisions that matter.

Overview

Major business decisions require disciplined analysis and practical commercial judgement. We support businesses with strategy, structuring, financial modelling, transactions, performance improvement and finance transformation to turn information into better decisions.

Advisory work is most useful when it is grounded in the numbers and in how the business actually runs. Because our advisers also work in audit, tax and accounting, recommendations on structure, transactions or systems come with their financial, tax and reporting consequences already worked through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should we set up on the mainland or in a free zone?

It depends on where your customers are, which activities you carry out and how you want to be taxed. We compare the options across commercial, regulatory, Corporate Tax and VAT factors before you commit.

What does financial due diligence cover?

Quality of earnings, net debt, working capital and the key risks in the business, so you know what you are buying and can negotiate on evidence.

Can you support an ERP implementation?

Yes. We help define requirements, select a system and redesign finance processes around it, working alongside the implementation partner.

Do you work with international groups?

Yes. Much of our advisory work supports groups with operations in the UAE and abroad, coordinating with their advisers in other jurisdictions.
