Managed accounting (sometimes called outsourced accounting) goes beyond bookkeeping. It is the full operation of your accounting function: month-end close, financial statements under the standards that apply to you (IFRS, SOCPA, EAS), payroll, tax compliance, statutory filings, and the reporting layer your board, bank, and investors actually need.

Common questions about Managed Accounting & Financial Reporting
What is the difference between managed accounting and outsourced accounting?
They are the same service. "Managed" is the newer framing that emphasizes you retain control of policies and approvals; we run the operations. "Outsourced" is the older, widely-searched term. Either way, you get a complete accounting function — month-end close, financial statements, tax compliance, payroll, audit support — without building the team in-house.
Can a managed accounting firm sign my statutory audit?
No. The signing auditor of statutory financial statements must be an independent, licensed audit firm (SOCPA-licensed in Saudi Arabia, registered with the Ministry of Economy in the UAE, EFRA-registered in Egypt). Axcell prepares your audit-ready financials but does not perform statutory audit — that independence requirement is core to the profession. We coordinate directly with your chosen audit firm.
Which accounting standards apply in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Egypt?
Saudi Arabia: IFRS as adopted by SOCPA for listed and large entities; IFRS for SMEs for smaller entities. UAE: IFRS as endorsed by the Ministry of Economy. Egypt: Egyptian Accounting Standards (EAS), substantially aligned with IFRS but with local modifications. Axcell prepares financials in all three standards depending on the entity's jurisdiction and reporting needs.
How do you handle VAT and corporate tax across the three markets?
Each market has different rates and rules. Saudi Arabia: VAT 15%, corporate tax 20% for foreign-owned + Zakat 2.5% for Saudi-owned. UAE: VAT 5%, corporate tax 9% on profits above AED 375,000 (since June 2023). Egypt: VAT 14%, corporate tax 22.5% standard. Axcell handles registration, filing, and compliance in all three jurisdictions for clients with cross-border operations.
How long is a typical managed accounting engagement?
There is no lock-in: engagements run on rolling monthly agreements that you can pause or end with notice, with quarterly review meetings. Onboarding takes about 30 days, and most clients stay for years because the value compounds once the books are clean and the close calendar runs smoothly.
