Service 07 - Advisory & Finance Operations
Accounting & Bookkeeping.
Cloud-based books kept current, clean, and audit-ready - so your leadership can read the numbers instead of chasing them. We take the ledger off your desk and keep it there.
What we do
A single ledger that closes on time,
every month.
- Daily bookkeeping Sales, purchases, expenses, bank entries captured as they happen - not recreated at month-end.
- Bank reconciliations Monthly reconciliation of all bank, credit-card, and digital-wallet accounts with audit-ready exception logs.
- Accounts receivable & payable Invoice capture, matching, ageing reports, and disciplined collections support aligned with your credit policy.
- General ledger management Chart of accounts maintenance, inter-company entries, accruals and prepayments, consolidation schedules.
- Month-end close Trial balance, management accounts, and variance analysis - closed within 10 working days of period end.
- Year-end preparation Audit-ready working papers and schedules so your external auditor's scope (and fee) stays tight.
Why it matters
Messy books cost more than tidy ones.
Late closes, unreconciled accounts, and a chart of accounts that accumulated like sediment - these are not harmless inefficiencies. They silently increase your audit fees, delay zakat and VAT filings (triggering ZATCA penalties), obscure margins that leadership urgently needs to see, and leave your business exposed when funders, buyers, or tax authorities come knocking.
Clean books, by contrast, compound. Faster closes give you earlier insight. Clear ledgers shorten audits. Reconciled accounts catch fraud and error before they become material. And a well-structured chart lets you answer board questions in minutes, not days. The work is not glamorous - but every senior-led practice treats bookkeeping quality as a first-principles capability.
Our approach
Four phases.
Same method, scaled to your size.
Diagnose
We review your existing chart of accounts, closing routine, system set-up, and last three months of statements. The output is a one-page assessment identifying the top three fixes with the highest impact.
Stabilise
We clean historical data, rebuild the chart of accounts to IFRS reporting needs, set up bank feeds, and configure the cloud accounting platform - usually Odoo, QuickBooks, or Zoho Books, whichever fits you best.
Operate
Daily bookkeeping, monthly close, and management reporting delivered by a dedicated team. You receive a consistent monthly pack - P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, ratios, and commentary - by the 10th working day.
Improve
Quarterly reviews with your senior partner to examine reporting quality, close speed, and new insights. We add dashboards, KPIs, and automation as your business matures - without re-scoping the engagement.

Who this is for
Four profiles we serve best.
Growing SMEs
Businesses outgrowing a single in-house bookkeeper and wanting professional books without an in-house finance team.
Family offices
Multi-entity groups needing consolidated books, inter-company discipline, and discretion.
Investment-backed companies
PE and VC-backed companies requiring investor-grade reporting and board packs on a predictable cadence.
Regulated entities
Businesses under ZATCA, SAMA, or other supervisory frameworks where book quality affects regulatory standing.
Regulatory context
The rules your books must honour.
IFRS as endorsed in the Kingdom
All reporting prepared to IFRS as endorsed by SOCPA. We maintain the chart of accounts, disclosures, and schedules to the standard your external auditor expects - so the audit is a verification, not a reconstruction.
ZATCA compliance
Books kept in a structure that supports zakat, corporate income tax, and VAT filings - with the invoice data, classification, and reconciliation needed for Phase 2 e-invoicing.
Companies Law compliance
Statutory books maintained to the Saudi Companies Law standard - share registers, minutes, and statutory schedules alongside financial records.
Audit trail integrity
Every entry traceable to source document, with role-based approvals and a complete history preserved - the standard every auditor and regulator expects.
