OUR FLAGSHIP SPECIALISM
Finance built for F&B.
Restaurants operate differently. Sales happen daily, inventory moves constantly, labour flexes, delivery platforms take commissions, rent is unforgiving and one weak outlet can hide inside a healthy group total.
F&B Performance combines accounting discipline with restaurant-level financial intelligence.

TRUST IS PART OF THE PRODUCT
Financial access requires disciplined operating standards.
You are giving a third party visibility into your money. That warrants specific controls rather than reassurance. We never ask for banking credentials. Payment authorisation always stays with your signatories. Access is role-based and reviewed quarterly. And we publish no client logo, testimonial or credential we cannot evidence.
Company credentials and public contact details are published only after verification.
How F&B Performance is designed →Clear ownership
Named responsibilities, cut-offs and approval points.
Audit trail
Reconciliations and schedules designed to be traceable.
Least-access mindset
System access should match role and necessity.
Verified proof only
No client logo, testimonial, credential or result appears here unless we can show you what backs it.
UAE CORPORATE TAX
Most Corporate Tax problems are accounting problems wearing a tax costume.
The 9% rate is the easy part. The arithmetic that produces the number it applies to is where UAE businesses get caught — and it is built in your ledger, months before the filing window opens.
Free zone ≠ 0%
A licence makes you eligible to be assessed as a Qualifying Free Zone Person. It does not confer the rate. Substance, qualifying income, de minimis limits and audited accounts all have to hold — annually.
Small Business Relief is an election
Not an automatic exemption. You still register and file. And electing in a loss-making year can forfeit losses worth more than the relief saves.
Nine months is not nine months
Worked backwards through audit, close and computation, a 30 September deadline means your books need to be closed and reconciled by February.
