Jeddah

Accounting Firms in Jeddah

Jeddah books fail when the stock system, the customs file and the general ledger are three stories. Goods in transit, deposits to a foreign principal, and a partner account used as working capital need a monthly reconciliation before anyone drafts VAT or Zakat. A spreadsheet kept by the warehouse manager is not the ledger. Tell us whether you import in your own name or as agent. That single fact changes the revenue line. The firm that keeps these books should not also sign the audit.

ISZ Global matches you with vetted firms. You appoint. We do not file, we do not sign an audit, and we do not take a success fee. The shortlist is free for owners.

The books have to support every ZATCA return

VAT, Zakat, withholding tax and Fatoora read the same ledger. The bookkeeper should not also be the statutory auditor. Supporting documents for the Zakat return are expected in Arabic.

Questions owners ask

Does ISZ Global do this work?

No. We introduce vetted firms. The firm you appoint does the work under its own licence. The shortlist is free for owners.

Should the Jeddah bookkeeper sign the audit?

No. The auditor reviews that file. Keep the roles in separate letters.
