Accounting Firms in Riyadh

Riyadh finance teams often keep the management pack in English for a shareholder and discover too late that the Zakat supporting documents are expected in Arabic. The ledger also has to feed VAT, withholding tax and Fatoora without three different versions of revenue. A monthly close in Olaya should name the person who owns the Arabic pack. If the same firm offers to audit those books, decline that half of the quote. Tell us the year-end and which return is already late.

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.

Must the Riyadh pack be in Arabic?

The Zakat supporting documents are expected in Arabic. An English pack for a parent does not replace them.
