FMA Accounting and Auditing LLC

About FMA Accounting and Auditing LLC

Based in Ras Al Khaimah with further offices in Dubai and Sharjah, this audit and accounting practice serves companies licensed in the emirate's economic zone as well as mainland and other free zone businesses across the UAE. It presents itself as an approved auditor for RAKEZ-registered entities and pairs statutory assurance with day-to-day bookkeeping, VAT and corporate tax filing. For newcomers to the market it also assists with setting up a company, choosing between mainland, free zone and international-style structures, obtaining the trade licence, and arranging visas and a corporate bank account. Liquidation and feasibility work round out the offering. The firm describes a team of auditors and tax advisers but does not publish headcount, a founding year or named partners, and the site is presented in English only. Its content is aimed mainly at owners of small and mid-sized businesses that must meet local audit and tax deadlines, with frequent guidance on RAKEZ audit requirements and UAE corporate tax.
