Accounting & Advisory Services
Exiloz gives growing UAE businesses practical finance leadership: month-end oversight, a compliance calendar covering VAT and corporate tax, process and controls review, and budgets and cash-flow support for real decisions.
Dubai-based accounting, tax, and compliance support for UAE businesses.
Most UAE SMEs don’t need a full-time CFO — they need someone senior reviewing the numbers monthly, tracking VAT and corporate tax deadlines, and turning the books into decisions. That is what this service does.
Bookkeeping tells you what was recorded; oversight tells you whether it is right and what it means. Each month Exiloz reviews the closed numbers — revenue and margin against plan, unusual movements, balance-sheet positions that are drifting, receivables that are ageing — and challenges what doesn’t make sense before it hardens into the year-end file. Management gets a short, plain-language pack: what happened, what changed, what needs a decision. The discipline of a real month-end close is what makes every other finance activity — audit, tax, funding — cheaper and calmer.
UAE compliance stopped being occasional. VAT returns cycle continuously, corporate tax brought registration, filing, and record-keeping duties to almost every business, audits are tied to licence renewals in most free zones, and payroll runs through WPS on a clock. Exiloz maps your actual obligations — based on licence, activity, registrations, and free-zone rules — into one calendar, assigns owners and lead times, and tracks it monthly. Deadlines stop arriving as emergencies, and the evidence each filing needs is collected while it is still easy to find.
Most SME finance problems are process problems: invoices raised late, approvals that live in WhatsApp, supplier payments with no second pair of eyes, petty cash that never reconciles. Exiloz walks the money paths through your business — sales to cash, purchase to payment, payroll to WPS — and closes the gaps that create leakage, disputes, and audit findings. The output is a short list of practical controls sized for your team, not a corporate governance manual nobody will follow.
Growth decisions — hiring, new premises, a second licence, credit terms for a big customer — go wrong when they are made on gut feel against stale numbers. Exiloz builds a working budget and a rolling cash-flow forecast, then keeps both honest against actuals each month. When a decision comes up, management sees the scenario in numbers first: what it costs, what it does to runway, what has to be true for it to pay off. That is the part of a CFO’s job most SMEs are missing, and it is the part that changes outcomes.
For years a UAE SME could run on a bookkeeper and a year-end scramble. Corporate tax ended that: taxable income now depends on IFRS-based accounts, elections and reliefs have to be chosen deliberately, and the FTA expects records that stand up to review. At the same time, free-zone audit requirements, WPS enforcement, and banks’ tighter lending standards all reward companies whose numbers are current and coherent.
The gap in most growing businesses is not effort — it is seniority. Someone has to own the questions the bookkeeper cannot: Is this margin real? Can we afford this hire? Which relief applies, and what evidence do we need? Part-time CFO oversight puts that ownership in place for a few days a month, which is exactly the dose most SMEs need until headcount justifies the full-time seat.
It is part-time finance leadership: an experienced reviewer who oversees your month-end numbers, keeps a compliance calendar for VAT and corporate tax, tightens processes and controls, and supports management decisions with budgets and cash-flow analysis — without the cost of a full-time CFO.
Growing UAE SMEs that have a bookkeeper or accountant handling daily entries but no senior finance person reviewing the numbers, planning obligations, or preparing information for decisions. It also suits businesses preparing for audit, funding, or a licence-linked review.
Bookkeeping records transactions. CFO advisory reviews what the records say: margin trends, cash pressure, compliance exposure, and process weaknesses. The two work together — clean books make oversight useful, and oversight keeps the books honest.
Most SMEs do not. A structured monthly or fortnightly cycle — review, compliance check, management discussion — covers the real need at a fraction of a full-time hire. When the business grows into a full-time role, the handover is clean because the processes already exist.
VAT return cycles, corporate tax registration and filing deadlines, audit and licence renewal dates, WPS payroll timing, and record-keeping obligations. The calendar is built around your actual licence, activity, and registrations, then tracked so deadlines stop being surprises.
Yes. The service is designed to sit above your existing bookkeeping — in-house or outsourced. We review, question, and structure; your accountant keeps recording. Where gaps appear in the records, we define the fix rather than duplicate the work.
A monthly management pack in plain language: profit and margin versus plan, cash position and runway, receivables risk, compliance status, and the decisions that need attention. The format is adapted to what your management actually reads.
No. Exiloz does not guarantee government approvals, penalty outcomes, or audit results. We help management see obligations early, keep evidence organized, and make decisions on real numbers.
We start with a finance health review: the state of the books, open compliance items, cash visibility, and reporting habits. That produces a short findings list and a proposed monthly rhythm, so you know exactly what the ongoing engagement covers.
Contact Exiloz through the consultation form, phone, or WhatsApp. We will discuss your team, current records, and priorities, then propose the oversight cycle that fits.
