(09) Questions

Good questions. Straight answers.

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly

Which accounting software do you work in?

Xero, QuickBooks Online and Zoho Books. If you use something else, we will either work in it or move you, and we will tell you which costs less.

Can you take over halfway through the year?

Yes. Most clients join mid year. We rebuild the months before we started, so the year closes on one consistent set of books.

Do you audit companies whose books you keep?

No. Our audit team never audits a company that our accounting team works for. If you need both, we will introduce you to an audit firm we trust.

Who will I actually work with?

A named accountant for the monthly work and a partner who reviews everything that leaves the building. You will have both of their numbers.

How do your fees work?

Monthly work is a fixed fee agreed up front. Projects such as audits and registrations are quoted before we start. We do not bill by the hour.

Do you work outside the UAE and the UK?

We look after group companies in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the EU through partner firms, coordinated by one team at Vika.
