USA & DUBAI CLIENTS
Agree the entities, reporting basis, accounting platform and close calendar. Preparation work can cover sales and expense records, bank and card reconciliations, receivable/payable schedules and a documented hand-off to management or your appointed US adviser.
Confirm the relevant US time zone, review contact and query process. US tax advice, filings and professional sign-off are separately allocated responsibilities.
Agree the entity structure, reporting currency, chart of accounts and management reporting timetable. Preparation work can cover accounting entries, bank reconciliations, balance-sheet schedules and information packs for the designated reviewer.
Where information is needed for UAE tax or statutory work, the engagement identifies the supporting schedules and the appropriately authorised local adviser responsible for advice, filing or sign-off.
Use agreed access permissions, a named contact, an open-query register and a review checklist. Confirm record retention, data handling and meeting availability before the recurring cycle starts.
The firm is based in Thane, India. USA and Dubai describe client service markets, not additional office locations.
ENGAGEMENT DETAIL
Process agreed sales, purchase, expense, receipt and payment records using the client’s approved policies and chart of accounts.

Prepare agreed accrual, prepayment, fixed-asset and depreciation schedules for review, using the accounting policies confirmed for the engagement.

ENGAGEMENT DETAIL
Agree the entities, reporting currency, accounting basis, software and scope before allocating work.
Work with individual system access and appropriate permissions. The client retains ownership of accounts, source records and administration.
Record questions against the relevant period and account, with the information required and a response owner.
Hand over reconciliations, schedules, unresolved matters and the agreed report pack for the designated reviewer’s approval.
CLEAR ACCOUNTABILITY
The engagement letter confirms the final allocation. Advice and preparation support do not transfer management decisions or statutory responsibilities.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We provide bookkeeping and accounting support to clients in the USA and Dubai. The accounting platform, reporting framework and detailed scope are confirmed before acceptance. Include these details in your initial enquiry.
The scope can be structured around preparation and review hand-offs. Client ownership, communication permissions, review responsibilities and confidentiality arrangements must be agreed.
These are not included automatically. Preparation support, local advice, filing and authorised sign-off are separate responsibilities that must be expressly allocated.
A backlog review can establish the periods, record availability, reconciliation gaps and work required. The timetable is agreed after that assessment.
THE NEXT STEP
Describe the matter, your business profile and the expected timeline. The firm will review whether an engagement is appropriate and discuss the scope.
An enquiry does not create a professional engagement or guarantee an outcome.
