Approach
A method, before
an answer.
Every engagement begins with the same discipline: understand the question before offering an answer. What follows is how we hold the work from the first conversation to the last document.
Three Engagements
Most clients begin with one and, where it serves, continue into the next.
Arrival Assessment
Two to three weeks. A written analysis of the individual's or company's full position — tax, residency, structure, banking, operations — with a recommended path forward. Delivered as a considered report, not a sales proposal.
Fee range: AED 15,000 — 60,000, scoped to the complexity of the picture.
Implementation
Four to twelve weeks. Execution of the path. Partners are appointed, documents are filed, entities are formed, banking is opened, residency is secured. One point of contact throughout.
Fee range: AED 30,000 — 150,000, scoped to the path selected and partners engaged.
Ongoing Partnership
Quarterly review, annual filing coordination, regulatory watchfulness, and an unhurried line when something changes. For clients whose position justifies a continuing relationship.
Retainer: AED 10,000 — 40,000 per month, scoped to the rhythm of the work.
Method
How a single engagement moves, in sequence.
- i
Discovery
A conversation — forty minutes. No preparation required. We ask about the life or business behind the question, not the question alone.
- ii
Scoping
A written scope — two pages at most — that sets the question, the deliverable, the timeline, the fee, and the partners we intend to appoint on your behalf.
- iii
Engagement
A Master Engagement Letter. One document. Annexed with the specific scope, the fee, and the partner appointments.
- iv
Work
The work — structured, senior, and visible. Partners hold their specialities. We hold the whole. You speak to one person.
- v
Deliverable
A written report. Not a deck. A document that reads as considered advice and survives a second reading six months later.
- vi
Handover
Annual obligations, partner relationships, and filing dates transferred into a simple calendar. You know what is next and when it is due.
What We Do Not Do
A practice is defined as much by its refusals as its offerings.
We do not accept commissions.
Not from lawyers, not from bankers, not from accountants, not from any specialist we appoint. Partners charge the client directly. Nothing flows to us from anyone but the client. This is absolute.
We do not sell packages.
We do not offer an Essentials tier, a Premium tier, or an Enterprise tier. Each engagement is scoped on its own facts with a single fee that reflects the work at hand.
We do not issue tax opinions.
Formal tax opinions are issued under the signature of FTA-registered tax agents — the partner firms we appoint. We co-author, we review, we quality-control. We do not sign.
We do not scale past our standards.
The practice caps the number of clients it takes. Beyond the cap, we refer or wait. The number is a design choice, not a growth constraint.
