Est. 2022
The quiet department behind well-run SMEs and start-ups.
AQ-Office is a Dubai-based back-office and software services company. We keep the books, build and run the web portals and internal tools a business depends on, and handle the paperwork and procurement, so that founders and owners can spend their time on the business itself.
Who we are
AQ-Office was formed in Meydan Free Zone in 2022 to do one thing properly: the unglamorous, essential work that every company needs and few founders want to do themselves. Books that reconcile. Filings that go out on time. Invoices that get chased. Records that are where they should be when someone asks for them.
Alongside the books, we are a small software house. We build and operate web portals, booking and reporting platforms, API integrations and the internal tools that make a back office run, and we host and maintain them afterwards.
We are a small, owner-managed firm. That is deliberate. Clients deal with the people who actually do the work, decisions are taken quickly, and our costs stay low enough that a two-person start-up can afford the same discipline a large company takes for granted.
We are not a consultancy. We do not produce decks about your finance function; we run it.

How we work
Fixed scope, fixed fee
We agree what is included, monthly, in writing. No hourly meters. If your needs change, the scope changes and so does the fee — in advance, not on the invoice.
One point of contact
You deal with a named person who knows your company. Questions are answered by someone who has actually seen your ledger.
Your data stays yours
Books are kept in your own accounting system, under your own login. If you leave, you take everything with you, in order, the same day.
On time, every month
Reports land on an agreed date. Renewals are diarised months ahead. Deadlines are the whole point of a back office, so we treat them as such.
