02 — Our Solutions
Financial
Partner
Your complete outsourced finance function — bookkeeping, management accounts, payroll support, VAT, corporate tax, and CFO oversight under one monthly retainer.
- –Bookkeeper
- –Accountant
- –CFO
The finance function
your business needs — without the hire.
A growing UAE business typically needs a bookkeeper, a financial controller, a payroll administrator, a VAT specialist, and a CFO — but rarely has the budget or the volume to justify all five full-time. Financial Partner delivers those functions in one monthly retainer.
We manage your numbers, your filings, your payroll layer, and your financial strategy. Where specialist licensed tax or audit execution is required, we handle that via vetted partner firms while keeping one accountable Amara lead.
Typical monthly cost of a full-time Finance Manager in the UAE, excluding benefits and end-of-service
Finance functions consolidated into one retainer: bookkeeping, accounts, payroll, VAT, CFO advisory
Recruitment risk, end-of-service liability, or notice period — the retainer is flexible by design
Transaction pricing creates perverse incentives. A retainer aligns our interests: we want your business to run cleanly.

HR & Payroll Support
Payroll processing, WPS compliance, visa renewals, employee onboarding and offboarding, labour contract management, and MOHRE filings — managed monthly alongside your Financial retainer. This module handles people administration without adding to your Financial hour bundle.
- Payroll (WPS)
- Visa renewals
- MOHRE filings
- New hires / exits
HR & Payroll support covers payroll processing, WPS submissions, visa renewals, employee onboarding, MOHRE labour contract filings, and Emirates ID tracking. It does not include AML/CFT compliance, trade licence renewal, or UBO registration — these are managed under Compliance services.
FTA Tax Agent
Licensed UAE Tax Agent support for VAT and Corporate Tax filings, EmaraTax portal management, FTA correspondence, and audit defence. Provided by a licensed Tax Agent registered with the Federal Tax Authority — a requirement for formal FTA representation. Available as a monthly retainer alongside any Financial tier.
- VAT filing (quarterly)
- CT return
- FTA correspondence
- EmaraTax portal
- Audit defence (Comprehensive)
A licensed Tax Agent is required for formal representation before the FTA. This module provides registered Tax Agent representation — distinct from the tax advisory included in the Financial retainer, which covers preparation and filing support.
