Life of a small business owner is no less than a juggler. As a business owner we must juggle multiple priorities – bring in business, take care of the bills, follow-up on payment to name a few. We are also the manager of our business. Accounts unfortunately gets left behind, especially if you are not a number person. Even if you are a number person and love accounts, overloaded with work, Accounts slips down the priority list.
As a business owner we should all remember that Finance is backbone of any business. As you start your business you need to know the direction your business is heading. What is the amount of profit your business is making? Where are you spending most of your money? To have a Self-Sustainable business you need to be both profit and cost conscious.
Here are few reasons why Outsourced Accounting Service is becoming increasingly popular in UAE.

In the initial stages of business, it is difficult to hire a full-time accountant. The fixed cost involved for a full-time accountant would include his basic salary, housing allowance, annual airfare, gratuity and leave salary. Hiring an outsourced accountant is certainly a more cost-effective solution for your business where you pay only for services availed.
Expertise:
The accountant you may hire may be an account graduate, with a year’s experience. This accountant may help you entering data, especially when the volume is high, yet they will lack the expertise of a qualified Accountant. The outsourced accountant will be qualified and with years of experience in the relevant field.

Finance, which is a core activity should be left to the expert. As a business owner he should monitor the cost and profitability of the business and always seek advice for the consultant.
Taxation and Regulatory requirements:
In UAE the regulatory controls are getting stricter. The introduction of VAT and ESR the regulations are just the harbinger. The laws are complicated and difficult for a junior accountant to handle, so it is always advisable to take expert advice on all regulatory issues. If you have already engaged external outsourced agent for your accounting work, you will always have expert advice from team experienced in multiple scenarios.
