Five packages, published in full

Neo Finance publishes five monthly packages: Bronze at AED 1,250 for a newly licensed or very small entity, Silver at AED 2,999 once you are VAT-registered and want monthly accounts, Gold at AED 5,999 for an established SME needing a full finance function, Platinum at AED 9,999 and Diamond from AED 14,999 for a complete outsourced finance and tax function, scoped to volume and headcount. The package is chosen by transaction volume and how much of the function you want run for you.

Additional transactions are charged at AED 1,500 per further block of 50 a month — the same rate as standalone bookkeeping. If you are consistently over, the sensible answer is usually to move up a package rather than pay overage every month — Bronze covers up to 50 sales and purchase transactions a month, Silver 150, Gold 350, Platinum 750 and Diamond 1,500. We flag it when we see the trend rather than after the invoice.

Not in every package. Corporate Tax registration is included in all five. The annual return is included from Platinum upward, is limited to Small Business Relief filings on Gold, and is a separate engagement on Bronze and Silver — AED 2,500 for a Small Business Relief filing or AED 5,000 for a standard filing. Filing is a legal obligation for every taxable person within nine months of the period end regardless of whether tax is due, so Bronze and Silver clients should budget for it.

As a standalone project, Neo Finance files the annual Corporate Tax return for AED 2,500 where the entity claims Small Business Relief and AED 5,000 for a standard filing, with Corporate Tax registration (including a late-registration penalty waiver assessment where applicable) at AED 2,000. The return is included in the Platinum and Diamond monthly packages, and as a Small Business Relief filing on Gold. Fees are exclusive of VAT and per entity.

As a standalone service, AED 1,500 per quarterly return, with VAT registration at AED 2,000, EmaraTax account setup at AED 500, a VAT health check at AED 2,500, a refund application at AED 2,500 and deregistration at AED 2,000. Quarterly filing is included in every monthly package from Silver upward, and VAT registration is included in all five. Fees are exclusive of VAT and per entity.

No — all package fees and add-on quotes are exclusive of VAT, which is added at the standard 5% on the invoice. Bronze at AED 1,250 is therefore AED 1,312.50 including VAT, and if your business is VAT-registered you recover that input VAT on your return in the normal way, so the net cost to a registered business is the headline fee.

Per entity. Each licensed company has its own ledger, its own VAT and Corporate Tax registrations and its own filing deadlines, so each entity takes its own package — typically sized to that entity's transaction volume rather than the group's. Group consolidation and multi-entity reporting are scoped separately, and for groups of three or more entities we quote the set together. See group and holding company accounting.

Yes — twelve months. Accounting is a cumulative relationship: the value comes from a ledger built consistently, opening balances agreed once, and a close that lands on the same date every month. Short engagements tend to mean the setup work is repeated by the next firm at your cost. All packages are also subject to onboarding and a review of your existing accounting records before they start.

For a straightforward year — complete bank statements, up to 300 transactions — historical clean-up is a published AED 2,000 per year. Beyond that the range is enormous, because a year with a working export costs a fraction of a year rebuilt from supplier invoices and memory, so larger reconstructions are quoted per period after we review what records actually exist. Backlog clean-up is included up to one year on Platinum and in full on Diamond. See catch-up bookkeeping.

No, and it cannot be. Neo Finance is licensed for Accounting & Bookkeeping under activity 6920003, which expressly does not permit examining or auditing accounts. Audit support — preparing the file, appointing and managing an independent UAE-registered auditor — is included from Platinum and available as audit preparation support on Gold. The auditor's own fee is billed by them and disclosed to you before they are appointed.
