Monthly Management Reports
Your P&L, balance sheet and cash flow, rewritten so a non-accountant can read them in ten minutes. Every report ends with our one-page Founder Finance Brief: what changed, what it means, what to do next.
CFO-level thinking, without the hire
Most Dubai SMEs do not have a finance problem, they have a finance visibility problem. The books get done (or they do not), VAT gets filed, but nobody tells you which product is bleeding margin or whether you can afford that next hire. That is the gap our financial consulting fills: a senior finance brain on your side, turning your numbers into decisions, without the AED 30,000-a-month CFO salary.
What is included
Everything a growing business needs from its finance function, except the full-time salary.
Your P&L, balance sheet and cash flow, rewritten so a non-accountant can read them in ten minutes. Every report ends with our one-page Founder Finance Brief: what changed, what it means, what to do next.
A rolling 13-week forecast, updated monthly. You will know in March whether the big supplier payment in June will hurt, and you will have time to do something about it.
We build your annual budget with you, then track actuals against it every month. When revenue misses by 12%, you get one page explaining why, not a 40-tab spreadsheet.
Raising a round or applying for a facility? We prepare investor-ready financials, unit economics and data-room packs that survive real due diligence. Banks in the UAE ask for specific formats; we know them.
We find out which products, services and customers actually make money after real costs: rent, visas, WPS, delivery, discounts. Most founders are surprised. Then we fix the pricing.
Eight to ten numbers that run your business, pulled live from Xero, Zoho Books, QuickBooks or Odoo. Revenue, gross margin, cash runway, receivables days, and whatever matters in your industry.
How it works
A simple rhythm: we learn your business, fix the visibility gaps, then keep you informed.
A 30-minute conversation about your business, your numbers and what is keeping you up at night. Free, no pitch deck.
We review your books, reports and processes, then show you exactly where the gaps are: missing reports, blind spots, cash risks.
Reports land on the same day every month, followed by a review call. You always know when your numbers arrive.
Each month ends with clear recommendations: cut this, raise that, hire now or wait. Advice you can act on.
A quick clarification
Search "financial consultant Dubai" and you will mostly find wealth managers: people who want to sell you investments, insurance or retirement plans. That is a perfectly fine business. It is not ours.
We advise companies, not portfolios. Our work is management accounts, cash-flow forecasts, budgets and board packs: the finance function of your business. We do not sell financial products, we do not take commissions, and we will never pitch you a policy during a finance review.
If what you need is someone who sits with you every month and tells you the truth about your numbers, that is us. And if you need that person closer to full-time, our CFO services in Dubai go one step further.
Financial consulting FAQs
In plain terms: we turn your accounting into decisions. A bookkeeper records what happened; we tell you what it means and what to do next. That means monthly management reports in plain English, a rolling cash-flow forecast, an annual budget tracked against actuals, and a monthly call where we talk through it all. Most clients start because they feel blind: revenue is coming in, but they cannot tell which parts of the business are actually profitable. Within two to three months, that fog is gone.
No, and the distinction matters. Wealth managers and financial advisors in Dubai typically advise individuals on investments, insurance and retirement planning, and many earn commissions on the products they sell. We advise companies on business finance: management accounts, forecasting, budgeting and fundraising. We do not sell financial products and we do not take commissions, so our advice has no hidden incentive.
It depends on how much involvement you need, but as a guide: a monthly consulting retainer costs a fraction of a full-time CFO, who in Dubai typically earns AED 25,000 to 40,000 per month plus visa and benefits. Most of our SME clients sit on a fixed monthly fee that covers reporting, forecasting and a monthly review call. You get one fixed number, agreed upfront, and you can scale the engagement up or down as the business grows.
Yes, happily. We sit on top of your existing finance setup rather than replacing it. If your bookkeeper keeps clean monthly records, we take those and build the reporting and advisory layer above them. If your books are a mess, our bookkeeping team can clean them up first, so the advice is built on solid numbers. Either way, you do not need to change what is already working.
Xero, Zoho Books, QuickBooks and Odoo: the four systems most UAE SMEs run on. We build your reports and dashboards directly inside your software, so the numbers are always live and you can check them yourself any time. If you are still on spreadsheets, our accounting software setup service will get you onto the right system first.
Yes, that is a core part of the work. We prepare investor-ready financials: clean historicals, unit economics, forecasts and the data-room pack investors actually ask for. For bank facilities, we know what UAE banks want to see and in which format. Fair warning: no consultant can guarantee funding, but businesses with clean, credible numbers raise faster and on better terms. That is the part we control.
