(03) Studio

A small firm, on purpose.

26 people in two offices, keeping the books for 340 companies. Small enough that a partner knows your name, big enough to cover two countries and three practices.

Monthly review, Business Bay

Since 2016

Vika opened in 2016 with four clients, a shared office in Dubai and one rule: every client’s month is closed by the tenth working day.

Ten years later the rule has not changed, and neither has the reason for it. Numbers are only useful while they are recent, and a business that sees last month by the tenth makes better decisions than one that sees it in the spring.

Today our accounting, tax and audit practices run as separate teams on one calendar, so a group with companies in both countries sees every deadline in one place. Our audit team never audits a company whose books we keep.

(02) How we work

Three rules. No exceptions.

01

Closed by the tenth

Numbers are only useful while they are recent. Every client’s month is closed by the tenth working day.

02

Nothing filed unseen

We never file a return you have not read and approved, however close the deadline.

03

Fixed fees, said early

You know what the year will cost before it starts. If the work changes, we say so before we do it.

Most companies do not need more numbers. They need the same numbers, earlier, and someone to say what they mean.

A tax return should hold no surprises for you. If it does, we told you too late.

A good audit starts in the first month of the year, not the last week of it.

Closing by the tenth is a habit, not a heroic effort. We make it boring on purpose.
