Why UAE finance hiring has changed
Corporate tax at 9% applies to taxable profit above AED 375,000 for financial years starting from June 2023, on top of 5% VAT. Many companies that once relied on an outside bookkeeper now need in-house staff who understand both.

Remote accountants from South Africa and the Philippines
Bookkeeping, AP/AR, reconciliations and reporting are among the best-suited roles for remote work. South African chartered accountants train under SAICA on IFRS, and their working day overlaps almost fully with the UAE. Filipino CPAs are a strong choice for transactional work and extended hours.
