Core Service Offerings
1. Audit & Assurance
Truth matters when people depend on you. Clear sight comes from thinking without noise. One size never fits all, yet smart checks work whether small or vast. What counts is being real, not just right.
- External & Internal Audits: Compliance checks happen both outside and inside the company to meet IFRS rules along with local UAE laws. Not just one kind of review, but a mix keeps everything aligned without shortcuts being taken.
- Operational Efficiency: Identifying internal control gaps to streamline business processes.
- Due Diligence: When companies join forces or invest big, they need solid records close at hand. Proof of past deals sits ready just in case questions come up later. Every number, contract, and email waits quietly behind the scenes.
2. Business Services and Setup
Starting a business in Dubai might feel overwhelming, especially if you are new here. Yet with support like Intellect offers, turning an idea into reality becomes smoother step by step.
- Company Formation: Starting a business means picking a name, then moving on to secure permits—whether on the Mainland or within Free Zones. Paperwork gets sorted in sequence, and authorities review applications before approvals come through.
- Compliance Consultancy: Businesses stay clear of fines by following local rules. This includes help with Economic Substance Regulations (ESR), Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) filings, and goAML reporting.
- Golden Visa Support: Facilitating long-term residency for investors and their families.
3. Accounting and CFO Services
Fine details in money matters simply cannot slide these days. Think of Intellect as stepping in right alongside your people.
- Bookkeeping & Reporting: Staying on top of records means clear updates show up when they’re needed. Messy piles from the past? They get sorted without delay.
- Virtual CFO Services: A sharp eye on strategy guides how money moves through your business. Instead of just tracking numbers, thinking ahead shapes smarter outcomes. Cash gets examined closely so every dollar works harder.
4. VAT and Corporate Tax Advice
Changes like the implementation of Corporate Tax reshape how companies manage money. A 9% rate shifts old calculations, and planning ahead helps spot what comes next.
- Tax Registration: Starting off right means getting your company set up on EmaraTax promptly. Filing stays smooth once the foundation is solid.
- Strategic Planning: Thinking ahead means lowering what you owe without hiding anything from the FTA. Every move follows the rules, yet still aims for less burden.
5. Banking Services
Out here, fresh ventures often stumble on bank access—Intellect steps in through long-standing ties with local and international banks.
- Corporate Account Opening: Managing complex documentation to reduce back-and-forth queries.
- Credit Facilities: Assisting companies in securing business loans, trade finance (LC/BG), and mortgage services. Each piece connects behind the scenes so firms keep moving forward.
