Freelancer & Contractor Accounting Services in UAE

Simplify Your Freelance Finances with UAE-Compliant Accounting

Freelancing and contract-based work are booming across the UAE, especially in creative, IT, consulting, and professional services. However, with growth comes complexity—especially in financial management, VAT compliance, and legal invoicing.

Whether you operate out of Dubai Media City, a co-working hub in Abu Dhabi, or manage gigs across Sharjah, AEY Accounting LLC provides dedicated freelance accounting services tailored to solo professionals and small agencies. We ensure you remain compliant with UAE tax laws while maintaining visibility into your financial performance.

Why Accounting for Freelancers & Contractors Is Different

As a freelancer or independent contractor in the UAE, your accounting challenges often differ from traditional businesses:

Irregular income across multiple clients or currencies
Navigating freelancer VAT UAE compliance
Project-based expense tracking and revenue recognition
Payment delays and client reconciliations
Free zone and mainland reporting requirements
Structuring accounting for service contracts and retainers

Without a solid accounting partner, these issues can affect your cash flow, tax filing, and financial credibility. AEY specializes in solving these challenges for you.
