Services
Accounting, AML, Corporate Tax, VAT & Business Services in Dubai
YESS handles the finance and compliance work that sits behind a UAE company’s day-to-day operations. Some clients come to us for one job, such as VAT filing or company formation. Others need the full record chain managed properly across tax, accounting, payroll, licence records and authority submissions.
Financial Audit
Financial Statements, Reconciliations & Audit Files
- When an audit date is approaching, we organise the working file: ledgers, bank reconciliations, VAT schedules, payroll records, fixed assets, supplier balances, customer balances and draft financial statements. The aim is simple: fewer last-minute gaps when the auditor starts asking for evidence.
Monthly Accounting Services in Dubai
Bookkeeping, VAT Ledgers & Management Accounts
- We maintain monthly books for mainland and free zone companies that want clean numbers without chasing spreadsheets every quarter. The work covers bank reconciliations, sales and purchase ledgers, VAT-coded entries, payroll postings and basic management reporting.
Taxation Services in Dubai
Corporate Tax, VAT, TRC & EmaraTax
- Credora supports UAE tax work from registration through filing and follow-up. This includes Corporate Tax, VAT, transfer pricing, Tax Residency Certificate applications, EmaraTax account matters, voluntary disclosures, clarification requests and deregistration cases.
Trade Finance Advisory in Dubai
Working Capital, Banking Documents & Trade Support
- For importers, exporters and trading businesses, we review working capital, receivables, supplier payment cycles, cash-flow forecasts and finance documents before the company approaches a bank or trade counterparty.
CFO Services in Dubai
Virtual CFO, MIS, Budgeting & Cash Flow
- Growing businesses often need senior finance input before hiring a full-time CFO. We support budgeting, MIS reporting, KPI tracking, margin review, cash-flow planning, funding preparation and finance oversight.
Company Formation in Dubai & UAE
Mainland, Free Zone, Offshore & Bank Account
- We help investors and business owners choose the right UAE structure, prepare licence documents, compare free zone packages, plan visas and organise the bank account file. Setup is reviewed with tax and accounting in mind from the start.
Business Process Re-engineering in Dubai
Finance Controls, Payroll Workflows & Reporting
- If approvals live in WhatsApp, payroll is still manual, or reporting takes too long every month, the process usually needs rebuilding. We review finance workflows, control gaps and reporting steps, then help make the process easier to run.
ERP Implementation Consultancy in Dubai
Accounting Software, VAT Codes & MIS Reporting
- ERP systems fail when finance rules are treated as an afterthought. Credora supports chart-of-accounts design, VAT code mapping, approval flows, reporting templates and user coordination from the finance side.
Corporate Secretarial Services in Dubai
UBO, ESR, AML & Licence Records
- We maintain the corporate documents that companies often need during banking reviews, licence renewals, ownership changes and authority requests. This includes resolutions, UBO records, ESR files, AML/CFT documents and free zone portal updates.
Governance, Risk & Compliance Services in Dubai
AML, UBO, Internal Controls & Authority Files
- Credora helps companies put order around AML/CFT records, UBO maintenance, approval workflows, risk documentation and internal controls. This is practical compliance work, not a generic policy folder.
Corporate Finance Advisory in Dubai
Valuation, Due Diligence, Funding & Restructuring
- We support owners before funding, investment, acquisition, restructuring, shareholder changes or sale discussions. The work can include valuation, financial modelling, investor reporting, due diligence support and working-capital analysis.
Company Liquidation Services in Dubai
Licence Cancellation, Tax Deregistration & Final Accounts
- Closing a UAE company involves more than cancelling the licence. We coordinate final accounts, shareholder documents, VAT and Corporate Tax deregistration, visa cancellation, labour file closure, bank account closure and final authority follow-up.

How it works
Our 4-Step UAE Tax, Accounting & Compliance Process
YESS manages UAE compliance in three stages, from the initial document review through to authority submission and ongoing support.
Step 01
The engagement begins with a review of the trade licence, EmaraTax account status, Corporate Tax profile, VAT registration, accounting records, payroll records, shareholder structure, free zone or mainland authority requirements and upcoming compliance deadlines. The review identifies the registrations, filings, bookkeeping work, payroll processing, setup steps, deregistration requirements or liquidation support the company needs.

Step 02
Before any return or submission, our team reviews the underlying records: ledgers, invoices, bank reconciliations, VAT entries, payroll files, related-party balances, free zone qualifying position and Corporate Tax exposure. Gaps are identified and resolved before filing, so returns are submitted from complete accounts with full supporting documentation.
Read more
Step 03
Corporate Tax returns, VAT Return Form 201, payroll files, accounting reports, shareholder documents, licence amendments and supporting schedules are prepared and submitted through EmaraTax, free zone portals or directly to the relevant authority. After submission, Credora provides ongoing support across monthly accounting, payroll, VAT, Corporate Tax, audit preparation and corporate secretarial matters.

Step 04
Before any UAE tax filing, accounting report or compliance submission. This includes sales invoices, purchase bills, bank reconciliations, VAT ledgers, payroll records, shareholder details, free zone or mainland licence documents and supporting schedules.

FTA Registered Tax Agent in Dubai
Representation, Clarifications, VAT, Payroll & EmaraTax Support
YESS Consultancy LLC supports UAE businesses when they need formal tax-agent appointment, FTA communication, clarification requests, reconsideration files, VAT account support, payroll records, tax account updates or help responding to authority queries.
We do more than preparing returns. The role becomes important when a company needs to deal with the Federal Tax Authority through the correct process, with proper records and clear supporting documents. Before communicating with the FTA, YESS Consultancy reviews the background file, EmaraTax account position, previous filings, supporting records, payroll records, deadlines and any authority correspondence already received. This helps the business respond with a complete and consistent file.
Support with FTA notices, portal messages, tax account follow-ups and authority correspondence. We review the issue, prepare the response and keep the communication properly documented.
VAT compliance support for VAT registration, VAT201 return filing, VAT refunds, VAT health checks, voluntary disclosures, VAT deregistration and EmaraTax VAT account administration. The review covers input tax, output tax, reverse charge, zero-rated supplies, exempt supplies, invoice content, credit notes, customs evidence and accounting ledgers.
WPS payroll services for mainland companies, free zone entities, SMEs, restaurants, contractors, trading companies and growing UAE employers. Support covers monthly payroll processing, SIF file preparation, payroll accounting entries, gratuity calculations, leave salary, final settlement preparation and employee cost reporting.
Clarification requests need a clear fact pattern, supporting documents and a properly structured submission. We help prepare the file before it is submitted to the FTA for review.
If a business receives an administrative penalty, we review the background, filing history, reason for delay or error, and supporting evidence before preparing the reconsideration submission.
When the FTA asks questions, the response should be supported by records. We help organise invoices, ledgers, reconciliations, tax returns, schedules and explanations before the reply is submitted.
Support for updating tax records, business details, contact information, authorised users, licence details and other EmaraTax profile information when company details change.
Deregistration support for companies closing, restructuring or no longer meeting registration requirements. We review the final position, prepare the supporting documents and help close the tax account correctly.
Need Help Communicating With the FTA?

Tax, Accounting and Compliance Support Built Around Real UAE Business Records
YESS Consultancy LLC supports UAE mainland and free zone businesses with Corporate Tax, VAT, accounting, payroll, business setup and corporate compliance work from one Dubai-based advisory team.
UAE compliance is no longer handled in separate files. Corporate Tax depends on accounting records, VAT depends on invoice treatment, payroll affects employee records, and company closure requires coordination across the FTA, licensing authority, bank and visa files.

As a IFZA Authorised Professional Partner, YESS combines local UAE execution with wider advisory reach for clients that operate across jurisdictions.
The Dubai office is located at Dubai, with service coverage across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Ras Al Khaimah.
YESS provides representation support for FTA communication, filings, clarification requests and tax-account matters.
The company is led by Ms Sonali Shah, supporting UAE businesses with tax, accounting, VAT and compliance advisory.
Accounting records, VAT treatment, Corporate Tax filings, payroll records and company documents are reviewed together, not as isolated tasks.
YESS serves clients from its Dubai office and supports companies across mainland jurisdictions and major UAE free zones.
