Abdulmunem Al Rubaie & Partners Chartered Accountants (ARCA)

About Abdulmunem Al Rubaie & Partners Chartered Accountants (ARCA)

Founded in 1979 by an ICAEW-qualified accountant, this Abu Dhabi practice grew from earlier work in Baghdad and now operates from two UAE offices, in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. Over four decades it has acted for local companies as well as international groups, and the site names several multinational clients. The firm handles the full cycle for businesses entering or leaving the market: choosing between mainland and free zone locations, drafting incorporation documents in English and Arabic, setting up branches of foreign companies, supporting UAE bank account applications, and later restructuring, liquidation and deregistration. It also provides statutory and internal audit, owners' association audits dating back to 2005, forensic accounting and expert reports for UAE courts and arbitration centres. Accounting outsourcing covers bookkeeping, management accounts, IFRS reporting, payroll and wage-protection filings, while tax work centres on VAT and excise registration and returns. Partners can also act as managing director or company secretary where local rules require it.
