A complete accounting function

From source documents to management-ready financial information

Good accounting is a connected process. Sales and purchase records feed the ledgers; reconciliations test the balances; month-end adjustments complete the period; and reporting turns the accounting data into information management can use.

ZeroSync supports businesses that need only one part of that cycle as well as companies that want a broader outsourced accounting function. The scope is matched to the transaction volume, internal team, systems and reporting needs.

UAE company recordkeeping

Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2021 requires every company to maintain accounting records that give a clear picture of its financial position and to retain those accounting records for at least five years after the end of the relevant fiscal year.

Monthly bookkeeping pricing

Recurring bookkeeping starts from AED 499 per month

ZeroSync's current published pricing lists Monthly Accounting & Bookkeeping Services starting from AED 499 per month. The final scope and fee depend on the business activity, transaction volume, number of documents and additional accounting or compliance requirements.

A simple low-volume company may need only routine monthly records and reconciliations. A larger company with multiple bank accounts, inventory, payroll coordination, branches or management reporting requires a wider scope.

Balance-sheet discipline

Reliable reporting starts with reconciled balances

A profit and loss statement can appear reasonable while the underlying balance sheet contains old receivables, duplicate suppliers, unreconciled bank transactions or unexplained tax balances. The monthly accounting process should therefore focus on the accounts that prove whether the records are complete.

  • Bank accounts
  • Cash / clearing
  • Accounts receivable
  • Accounts payable
  • VAT control accounts
  • Payroll liabilities
  • Fixed assets
  • Loans / finance
  • Intercompany balances
  • Other material accruals

Accounting + tax + audit

Keep specialist compliance work connected to the accounting records

VAT, Corporate Tax and audit work depend on the quality of the underlying accounting information. We keep those workstreams connected without treating bookkeeping as a substitute for specialist tax or assurance work.

Accounting system & workflow

Design the process as carefully as the software

Accounting quality depends on how transactions move from source document to approval, posting, reconciliation and reporting. As the business grows, system roles, chart of accounts, approvals and reporting dimensions need to grow with it.

Chart of accounts

Structure revenue, cost, assets, liabilities and control accounts around the business model.

User controls

Define who can enter, approve, change master data and access sensitive reports.

Close checklist

Assign each monthly reconciliation and adjustment to a responsible owner.

Reporting output

Decide which management reports need to exist before configuring the accounting data.

Service models

Use the level of support that matches your internal finance capability

A company with a capable bookkeeper may only need periodic supervision and year-end support. A small owner-managed business may prefer full monthly bookkeeping. A growing group may need outsourced accounting, management reporting and specialist tax handoffs.

The scope can therefore be structured around what remains inside the business and what ZeroSync handles externally.

Accounting warning signs

When the books need attention before tax or audit deadlines

BNK

Bank balance does not reconcile

The ledger and bank statement differ because old, duplicate or missing entries have not been resolved.

AR

Old customer balances

Receivables contain receipts, credit notes or invoices that have not been matched correctly.

AP

Supplier balances are unreliable

Purchase invoices, payments or credits are missing or applied to the wrong supplier account.

VAT

VAT controls do not agree

The VAT return history and accounting control accounts cannot be reconciled to the underlying sales and purchase records.

CLS

Close is always late

Month-end work depends on one person, missing records or manual spreadsheets with no clear deadlines.

RPT

Management does not trust the reports

Financial reports change after issue or contain unexplained balances that prevent decisions being made confidently.
