Check monthly revenue vs. bank inflows. Manage staff payments/payroll. Prepare monthly P&L reports for each entity plus a consolidated group summary. Provide an aged receivables report (list of unpaid invoices). Monthly fee: Flat retainer, invoiced in advance. Any work outside agreed scope billed at pre-agreed hourly rate. 3. Year-End Handover Prepare year-end reports for UK accountant and Dubai accountant separately. Liaise with each accountant to provide only the required reports — no real-time access.
