Our Approach

Bookkeeping, VAT & Tax — Done Right, Just for You

At Exval, we provide bookkeeping, accounting, and tax declaration services tailored to the needs of expat-owned businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and across the United Arab Emirates (UAE). We ensure full compliance with UAE tax regulations, including Corporate Tax and VAT requirements set by the Federal Tax Authority (FTA). Our mission is to make financial management and tax filing in the UAE clear, efficient, and affordable for foreign entrepreneurs.

Exval was founded by European professionals who, after building their own companies in the UAE, recognised the need for a more transparent, trustworthy, and expat-focused accounting partner.

We understand how difficult it can be to navigate the UAE business environment as a foreign business owner. Changing regulations, aggressive upselling, and inconsistent service standards often leave expats uncertain about what services they actually need — and what they should cost.

A partner grounded in European standards of transparency, accountability, and integrity

Our leadership team brings experience from global businesses like Wise, and UniCredit Bank, respected European accounting firms, and top international law firms including Hogan Lovells, Eversheds, and Glimstedt. We are supported by a growing team of 12 accountants, all educated and professionally trained in Europe.

We work in English, German, Finnish, Estonian, Russian, and more — and we understand the cultural and business expectations of Western entrepreneurs operating in the UAE.
