Chartered accountants, auditors and registered tax agents in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain since 1998. Audit, corporate tax, VAT and advisory for owner-run and family businesses.
Falaj & Partners started in 1998 with two accountants and one office on Khalifa Street in Al Ain. Today we are 140 people in Al Ain, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and we still work the same way: a named partner for every client, fixed fees agreed in writing, and answers in plain language.
We look after owner-managed companies, family groups and the UAE arms of international businesses, from a first trade licence to a group audit.

Including a handover from your current accountant
We look at your licence, your year-end and the state of your books.
A short engagement letter with the fee, the scope and the deadlines. No hourly billing.
We collect files and logins from your previous accountant. You sign one letter.
Banks, VAT and payroll reconciled, and anything risky flagged to you in writing.
Monthly reports by the 10th, and your partner’s number on WhatsApp.

A falaj is the stone channel that has carried water to the oases of Al Ain for more than 3,000 years. Every farm gets its share by the hour, written down and checked by a keeper the whole village trusts.
That is the job we try to do with your numbers: every dirham where it should be, on time, and clear to everyone who needs to see it.
