First slide of Arakan Ledger for accounting firms

What's inside

  1. 1Most of a bookkeeping quarter goes on getting documents into shape.
  2. 2Every file goes through the same four steps, without anyone sorting it first.
  3. 3Take paperwork the way clients already send it.
  4. 4Every flag names the article of UAE law it comes from.
  5. 5Check a client's documents once. Deliver the return, the books and the Corporate Tax from the same records.
  6. 6Keep the books in the client's own software, from the work you already did for VAT.
  7. 7The checks that make a return stand up when the FTA asks.
  8. 8Services your firm can offer every client, from one set of records.
  9. 9Reading documents is the start. Getting them right is what Arakan does.
  10. 10Your first client's documents, read today.
