BACKLOG ACCOUNTING

Maintaining proper books of accounts is essential for the sustainability of your company. Accurate accounting allows you to make informed decisions. Start-ups and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) often neglect bookkeeping during incorporation, focusing instead on growing the business.

To effectively understand initial expenses and classify them as assets or capital, it's crucial to maintain proper records from the date of the company's formation. Backlog accounting experts are well-versed in UAE commercial laws and regulations. They assist businesses in understanding legal requirements for record-keeping, financial reporting, and tax compliance, ensuring operations remain within the legal framework.

In the evolving landscape of UAE tax laws, systematic recording of accounting transactions is vital. Proper bookkeeping reduces the complexities of maintaining manual or spreadsheet-based data. Cornerstone provides comprehensive accounting services, reviewing and updating backdated company data from the formation date to ensure accuracy and compliance.
