Associated Accountants

About Associated Accountants

Operating from Riyadh since 1989, this audit, zakat and tax practice serves mid-sized companies, listed corporations, family-owned groups, non-profits and public organisations. It belongs to Geneva Group International, an alliance of independent firms, while trading under its own name. Beyond assurance and advisory work, the firm runs a company formation and business set-up service aimed at investors entering the Kingdom, taking them from the investment licence application through to an operating entity. It also supports clients in sectors such as construction, insurance, technology, manufacturing, petrochemicals, healthcare and real estate. Accounting outsourcing, payroll and statutory filings sit alongside forensic accounting, local content advisory and liquidation services, so a company can stay with one provider after incorporation. The website is published in English, and team biographies list SOCPA membership and CPA credentials among the partners and directors.

The set-up service covers the MISA investment licence, advice on legal structure, drafting articles of association, trade name reservation, commercial registration, activation of government portals, general manager residency processing, notarisation and certified translation, plus follow-up with the authorities.
