GKV Associates

About GKV Associates

Established in 2011, this accounting and business-setup consultancy has its UAE base at a technology park in Sharjah and runs a second set of offices in Karnataka, India. The site describes a staff of more than twenty people from varied multilingual and multicultural backgrounds, serving clients both within the Emirates and abroad. Its UAE offering combines company set-up on the mainland and in free zones with day-to-day bookkeeping, financial reporting, payroll, VAT filing and Corporate Tax compliance, and the firm also mentions intellectual property registration. A separate section covers accounting, tax and company registration services for businesses in India, which gives owners with operations in both countries a single point of contact. A complimentary accounting software tool, document archiving and a dedicated accounts manager are included among the support features. The website does not name the languages spoken, does not target a specific nationality, and shows no prices.
