The StoryUAE & Canada

The accountant in the middle of two countries.

FCCA from the UK. UAE Chartered Accountant. FTA-Approved Tax Agent, approved by the UAE Federal Tax Authority to represent taxpayers before it. Over ten years in practice and more than 1,000 business owners worked with, most of them operating across borders.

Bestax operates in both countries, as Bestax Chartered Accountants in Dubai and Bestax Accountants in Canada: one accounting, tax and advisory firm across two jurisdictions. As Director, Accounting & Taxation, I set the direction. Dedicated teams in each country run day-to-day delivery.

Most advisers only ever see one country.I work in two every week.
