Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between accounting and bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is the act of recording transactions and maintaining records. In contrast, accounting involves analyzing those financial records to gain a deeper understanding of the business's performance and tax obligations.
Are your services compliant with UAE FTA regulations?
Yes, Flying Colour's accounting and tax services are fully compliant with all UAE regulations. We manage registrations, bookkeeping, and filings for both mainland and Free Zone businesses.
Do I need bookkeeping, accounting, or both?
Both. Accounting requires bookkeeping, and bookkeeping by itself carries little value. Bookkeeping creates the financial records that accounting analyzes to provide tax readiness and business insights.
What accounting software do you use?
We use Zoho Books for robust bookkeeping and ledger management, paired with our secure client portal to upload documents and access reports.
Who must register for UAE Corporate Tax?
Most UAE businesses, including mainland and Free Zone entities, must register for Corporate Tax. Failing to register before the FTA deadlines can trigger hefty penalties.
How do I get started with your services?
Simply submit your callback request. During onboarding, we'll collect your KYC, design your custom chart of accounts, set up Zoho Books, and link your bank/tax portals for seamless data flow.
