Financial Reporting
Monthly and quarterly reporting that turns raw numbers into business insight you can act on.
Why explained reporting matters.
Numbers in spreadsheets do not change decisions. Numbers explained do.
Most owners get reports they cannot read, or reports nobody at the firm bothers to interpret. Decisions then get made on instinct, because the data feels too distant to act on.
The gap that matters most is between profit and cash. A P&L showing AED 200,000 of profit next to AED 40,000 of operating cashflow is not an error. The difference is sitting somewhere specific, usually in receivables or stock, and finding out where is the whole job.
Receivables are where it usually sits. Anything past 60 days needs a conversation. Anything past 90 is at risk of becoming bad debt and should already be inside a collection process. For a service business, collecting in 45 to 60 days is healthy. At 75 days and above you have a working capital problem dressed up as a revenue success.
Every report we send comes with the why behind it. What changed. What it means. What to consider next. Your numbers become a tool for running the business, not a record of where it has been.
The numbers we watch, and where the lines sit.
Reporting is only useful if it comes with a threshold. These are the ones we apply, and the VAT positions that reporting has to stay aligned with.
| Receivables ageing | Grouped 0 to 30, 31 to 60, 61 to 90 and 90 plus days |
|---|---|
| When to act on a receivable | Past 60 days needs a conversation. Past 90 days is at risk of bad debt |
| Healthy collection period | 45 to 60 days for a service business. 75 days and above is a working capital problem |
| VAT registration threshold | Mandatory once taxable turnover exceeds AED 375,000 |
| VAT filing frequency | Quarterly for most businesses. Monthly only above AED 150 million in revenue |
| Late VAT filing | AED 500 per month for the first 12 months, then AED 1,000 per month |

How we run it.
Agree what you need to see
Which decisions the reporting has to support, and who reads it. A board pack, an investor update and an owner brief are three different documents, and building one to serve all three serves none of them.
Build the reporting layer
On top of your existing accounting system, not instead of it. We integrate with QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books and most ERPs, so there is no migration to sit through before the first report arrives.
Report monthly, explained
P&L, cash flow and receivables ageing, each with the movement explained rather than presented. Where profit and cash disagree we say where the difference is sitting and what to do about it.
Review quarterly
Trends over a quarter say things a single month cannot. Collection period drifting, margin narrowing, a cost line growing faster than revenue. This is the session where a number turns into a decision.
Across four jurisdictions.
Each entity reported in its local currency, consolidated into the reporting currency you choose, IFRS-aligned throughout. UAE alongside US LLCs, UK LTDs and Hong Kong Limited Companies, in one view rather than four PDFs that never quite reconcile.
Common questions.
Why does our profit not match the money in the bank?
Profit is earned, cash is collected, and the two rarely happen in the same month. A P&L showing AED 200,000 next to AED 40,000 of operating cashflow means the difference is sitting somewhere specific. Usually unpaid invoices, sometimes stock or a prepayment. Reporting should tell you which.
When should we start chasing an unpaid invoice?
Anything past 60 days needs a conversation. Anything past 90 days is at risk of becoming bad debt and should already be inside an active collection process. Waiting until year end is how a receivable becomes a write-off.
How often are VAT returns filed in the UAE?
Quarterly for most businesses. Monthly filing applies only above AED 150 million in revenue. Registration itself becomes mandatory once taxable turnover exceeds AED 375,000.
Can you build reporting on top of our existing accounting setup?
Yes. We integrate with QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books and most ERPs. No system migration needed.
Do we get a live dashboard or just monthly PDFs?
Both. Live dashboard for daily visibility, monthly package for review and archive.
How do you handle multi-entity consolidation?
We build a master view that consolidates each entity in its local currency and reports in your chosen reporting currency, IFRS-aligned.
Can reports be customised for our board or investors?
Yes. We adapt format and depth to your audience, whether that is a board pack, investor update or owner brief.
