Outsourced CFO Services in Dubai

Many growing companies need senior financial and management leadership before they can justify a full-time executive salary. Others are owned by investors or parent companies based outside the UAE and need an experienced person on the ground to oversee the business. Owners often find themselves making strategic decisions without the information they need.

Frequently asked questions

What is an outsourced CFO?

An outsourced or part-time CFO provides senior financial leadership on a flexible basis, typically for a set number of days each month, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time executive.

How is this different from bookkeeping?

Bookkeeping records transactions. An outsourced CFO uses that information to plan, forecast, manage cash, advise on decisions and report to owners and lenders.

Can you oversee a UAE company owned from abroad?

Yes. We provide local oversight and reporting for foreign parent companies and investors, including supervision of the local finance team.

How much time will the CFO spend with us?

It depends on your needs. We agree a schedule, which can range from a few days a month to a more intensive commitment during transactions or restructuring.
