Accounting & financial reporting

Reliable, timely accounting is the foundation of everything else. We support finance teams — or act as an extension of them — to keep the books accurate, the close on schedule and the reporting decision-ready.

  • Bookkeeping and accounting support
  • Month-end and year-end closing support
  • Financial statement preparation support
  • Account reconciliations and clean-up
  • Accounting policies and procedures
  • Chart of accounts design
  • Management accounts
  • Reporting-pack preparation

IFRS & technical accounting

Our partners have worked hands-on with the IFRS areas that most often create difficulty — revenue, leases, expected credit losses, impairment, consolidation and business combinations — in both audit and preparer roles. We help you reach well-supported answers and document them properly.

  • IFRS financial reporting support
  • IFRS implementation and transition support
  • IFRS 9 expected credit losses
  • IFRS 15 revenue recognition
  • IFRS 16 leases
  • IFRS 18 readiness and implementation
  • Impairment assessments
  • Consolidation and group reporting
  • Business combinations
  • Related-party accounting and disclosures
  • Technical accounting and position papers
  • Financial statement disclosure reviews

Support in this area is advisory in nature and does not constitute a formal accounting or assurance opinion.

Financial planning & management reporting

Owners and boards need forward-looking information, not just historical statements. We build planning and reporting that answers the questions that matter: where is cash going, what is driving margin, and what happens if things change.

  • Budgeting and forecasting
  • Cash-flow planning
  • Management reporting
  • KPI design and reporting
  • Variance analysis
  • Decision-support reporting
  • Working-capital reporting
  • Board and management reporting packs

Internal controls, governance & risk

Strong controls protect the business and make every audit smoother. Drawing on our partners' audit-side and preparer-side experience, we help you identify gaps, document what should happen, and prepare confidently for external scrutiny.

  • Internal control reviews
  • Finance-process reviews
  • Risk and control matrices
  • Internal-controls documentation
  • Policies and procedures
  • Closing-process improvement
  • Governance reporting support
  • Internal audit support
  • Audit readiness and audit support
  • Coordination with external auditors
  • Remediation of financial reporting and control observations

AMA supports and complements the work of external statutory auditors; it does not act as one. Statutory audit remains the role of your appointed auditor.

Finance transformation & data

Better processes and better data mean faster closes and clearer insight. We modernise the mechanics of your finance function — pragmatically, and always with control and confidentiality in mind.

  • Finance-process improvement
  • Reporting automation
  • Data-quality reviews
  • Accounting-data analysis
  • Dashboard and management-information design
  • Spreadsheet and reporting-model improvement
  • ERP and accounting-system implementation support
  • Responsible use of AI in accounting and finance processes

Training & professional development

We build the capability of your team, not dependence on ours. Sessions are practical, example-driven and tailored to your sector and systems — delivered in English or Arabic.

  • IFRS training
  • Financial reporting workshops
  • Internal-controls training
  • Finance-team development
  • Tailored technical accounting sessions

Getting started

How an engagement typically begins

1. Initial conversation

A free, confidential discussion — by phone, video call or in person — to understand your situation and whether we can genuinely help.

2. Scope and proposal

A short written proposal setting out objectives, deliverables, timeline, the partner responsible and fees — no obligation until you sign.

3. Delivery and follow-through

Partner-led delivery with agreed check-ins, a clear final deliverable, and practical support to put recommendations into effect.
