Audit, tax and accounting support for businesses in Qatar

It depends on what is due and who is asking. Most companies need monthly bookkeeping, a yearly audit and a yearly corporate income tax return, and some need advice or company services as well. Tell us about your company and what you have been asked for, and we suggest where to start.

An accounting firm keeps the books and prepares the accounts; an auditing company examines those accounts and gives an independent opinion on them. Many accounting and auditing firms in Qatar offer both, but never to the same company for the same accounts: the auditor cannot be someone who helped prepare them. Audit work also depends on the registrations required for your company.

Most companies in Qatar need their yearly financial statements audited. The audited accounts are used for the tax return, for the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and by banks. The exact rule depends on your company type and where it is registered: the mainland, the QFC or a free zone. Tell us your company type and we confirm what applies to you.

It depends on the work and the size of your company. We look at what you need first and then give you a fixed fee in a written proposal, so you know the cost before any work starts. A short description of your company is enough to begin.
