The Big Four sell you an audit file. Daftar sells the judgement that produced it.
Independent finance practice for founders, CFOs, and finance teams across MENA. Eight years inside PwC and EY. One practitioner. Fixed scope, fixed fee, fixed timeline — named before the engagement begins. Working file delivered with every deliverable.

Fixed scope. Fixed fee. Fixed timeline. Named in the engagement letter before work begins. No billable-hour drift.
One practitioner — eight years inside PwC and EY. The work is done by the person you spoke to on the scoping call.
Every deliverable ships with the editable file — formulas visible, assumptions documented, sources cited. Yours to extend.

Daftar Advisory is a non-attest advisory practice. The principal does not hold a JACPA, SOCPA, or UAE Ministry of Economy audit licence and does not perform statutory audit, review, or agreed-upon procedures engagements. Where work requires an attest signature, the engagement is referred. Every engagement is governed by a written engagement letter with fixed scope, fixed fee, fixed timeline, and a written non-attest disclaimer.
