Zoho, Odoo, ERPNext, Dynamics 365 and custom ERP, delivered by one accountable team.
Run general ledger, payables, receivables, budgeting and group consolidation for UAE and GCC entities on Microsoft's enterprise finance application.
Dynamics 365 Finance suits UAE and GCC groups with many legal entities, shared service centres, complex budget control, intercompany trading or high transaction volumes, while Business Central fits most small and mid-sized UAE companies and is quicker to implement. Finance is Microsoft's enterprise finance application in the Finance and Operations family, alongside Supply Chain Management, and is a separate product from Business Central.
Dynamics 365 Finance UAE projects usually start in one of two places: a holding group that has outgrown several small accounting systems, or a company already on an older Microsoft product such as Dynamics AX that wants to move to the cloud. In both cases the need is the same: one finance platform for many legal entities, currencies and reporting structures.
Dynamics 365 Finance is Microsoft's enterprise finance application, part of the Finance and Operations family alongside Supply Chain Management. It is a different product from Business Central. Finance is built for larger organizations with shared service centres, complex approval chains, intercompany trading and group consolidation, while Business Central suits small and mid-sized companies that want a simpler, faster rollout.
As a Microsoft Partner in Dubai, we help UAE groups decide whether Finance is the right fit, design the ledger and legal entity structure, and configure VAT, corporate tax reporting support and e-invoicing readiness around local rules.
The finance teams we meet in Dubai and Abu Dhabi usually describe the same symptoms: each subsidiary closes its books on a different day, intercompany balances never agree, and the group CFO waits for a consolidation workbook that one analyst maintains by hand. Dynamics 365 Finance addresses this with shared main accounts, intercompany automation and a single close calendar, but only if the entity and dimension design is right at the start.
Dynamics 365 Finance uses workspaces that bring tasks, lists and figures for one role onto one page.
A typical monthly cycle for a UAE group with several entities follows this path.
One shared database: every step updates stock, finance and reports in real time.
These are the areas most UAE finance teams configure in the first phase.
A shared chart of accounts across entities, with dimensions such as business unit, cost centre, project or emirate attached to each posting.
Vendor invoice capture, two- and three-way matching against purchase orders and receipts, payment proposals and vendor payment files.
Customer invoicing, collections workspace, credit limits and interest notes for overdue balances.
Bank accounts in AED and foreign currencies, bank statement import and reconciliation matching rules, and cash flow forecasting.
Budget plans with workflow approval, and budget checks that warn or block purchase requisitions and orders that exceed available funds.
Asset acquisition, depreciation books, revaluation and disposal, linked to purchasing so capital items are tracked from the order.
Intercompany sales and purchase orders, due-to and due-from accounts, and consolidation with currency translation and eliminations.
Built-in financial report designer for statements, plus data export to Power BI for group dashboards.
Finance rarely runs alone. These are the connections we most often design for UAE groups.
Finance includes tax calculation and electronic reporting features that we configure for UAE rules. Confirm treatment of specific transactions with your tax advisor.
Sales tax codes and groups are set up for the 5% standard rate, zero-rated, exempt and reverse charge cases, so tax invoices carry the TRN and prescribed fields and the data feeds quarterly return workings filed on EmaraTax.
Financial dimensions and main account mapping help separate taxable income by entity, and identify qualifying and non-qualifying income for Qualifying Free Zone Persons under Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022.
The UAE model uses PINT AE through Accredited Service Providers, mandatory from 1 January 2027 for businesses with revenue of AED 50 million or more. We plan invoice data and the ASP connection; check the latest Ministry of Finance and FTA guidance.
Every posted voucher keeps user, date and source document links, which supports FTA record-keeping and audit requests. Buyers should check the FTA's current Tax Accounting Software Register for any specific product.

Ask an ExpertBusiness Central fits most small and mid-sized UAE companies and is quicker to implement. Finance suits groups with many entities, shared services, complex budget control or high transaction volumes. We compare both against your structure before you commit to licences.
Yes. Each legal entity has its own accounting currency, and the system supports reporting currency, exchange rate types and revaluation. Consolidation translates results into the group currency.
UAE WPS payroll is normally handled by a separate payroll application or a partner solution that produces the Salary Information File. We integrate payroll journals back into Finance so costs post to the right dimensions.
It depends on the number of entities, integrations and data history. A first phase for a mid-sized group often runs several months, and we set phase scope during discovery rather than quoting a fixed date upfront.
Microsoft operates cloud regions in the UAE. Availability of each Dynamics 365 application in a given region can change, so we confirm the current deployment options for your tenant with Microsoft during licensing.
Yes. Microsoft provides an upgrade path from AX 2012 to Finance and Operations apps, and some companies choose a fresh implementation instead. We assess customizations and data quality to recommend the route.
