Hiring a full-time accountant in Dubai costs between AED 8,000 and AED 20,000 per month. Add benefits, visa costs, and office space, and the real cost climbs substantially. Outsourced accounting firms typically charge AED 2,000–6,000 for the same scope of work.
When In-House Makes Sense
Companies with over 200 transactions per day, complex multi-entity structures, or real-time reporting requirements benefit from an in-house team. For everyone else, outsourcing is typically the smarter choice.
