“As a UAE national helping a foreign partner set up a mainland trading
company, we needed advisors who understood the current ownership
rules properly. Yahesa were clear on what the regulations actually say
now — not what they said five years ago — and guided us through the
whole process efficiently.”

Khalid Al Rashidi

Business Owner, Dubai Mainland — UAE Mainland
Company Formation

“I was relocating from London and needed to set up quickly. Yahesa
handled everything — the licence, the visa, corporate tax registration
and even we able to assist with my UK limited company wind-down.
Having one team manage both sides made everything far less
stressful.”

Sophie Draper

Digital Marketing Consultant, Relocated from London
— UAE Company Formation & Expat Tax

“We retained Yahesa to manage our UK limited company while we
focused on growing the UAE side of the business. They handle all our
HMRC filings, VAT returns and year-end accounts without us having to
think about it. Exactly what we needed from a cross-border firm.”

Tom and Rachel Baines

Directors, UK & UAE Trading Group — UK Company
Accounts, VAT & Corporate Tax

“I had no idea I still had UK tax obligations after moving to Dubai.
Yahesa explained the Statutory Residence Test clearly, established my
non-UK resident status, and filed my final UK self assessment on time.
They removed a year of anxiety in two short calls.”

“Straightforward, professional and always available on WhatsApp.
Yahesa handle our monthly bookkeeping, VAT returns and corporate
tax filings. As a small business owner I cannot afford to worry about
compliance — and with them, I genuinely do not have to.”

Marcus Osei

Founder, Professional Services Firm — UAE Monthly
Accounting Package — Dubai

“As a UK landlord living in the UAE I still receive rental income from two
properties. Yahesa handle my self assessment every year, manage my
non-resident landlord position and ensure I am not paying more UK tax
than I legally owe. Reliable, sharp and value for money.”

Andrew Forsythe

Non-Resident Landlord, Abu Dhabi — UK Self
Assessment — Non-Resident Landlord

“We switched to Yahesa after our previous bookkeeper left us with six
months of uncategorised transactions and a VAT return overdue. They
cleaned everything up, filed the outstanding return and set us up
properly going forward. Our books have never been in better shape.”

Priya Menon

Operations Director, Trading Company — UAE
Bookkeeping & VAT Returns — Abu Dhabi

“We came to Yahesa having already made a mess of one failed
freezone application with another firm. They assessed our situation
properly, recommended the right jurisdiction for our e-commerce
business and had us licensed and bank account open within three
weeks. Clear, responsive and genuinely knowledgeable.”
