Services

What we do

Six practice areas, delivered as one-off projects, annual compliance cycles or retained support. Every engagement is scoped and reviewed by a partner.

Audit & statutory reporting

Statutory accounts are often treated as a formality until the auditor raises a point that moves the group's numbers. We prepare them as a controlled process, not a year-end scramble.

  • Financial statement preparation under Egyptian Accounting Standards and IFRS
  • EAS-to-IFRS conversion and difference analysis for group reporting
  • Audit readiness reviews and preparation of the audit information pack
  • Management of the external audit through to signature and filing
  • Deferred tax computation and current-to-statutory tax reconciliation
  • Entity setup, dormancy, restructuring and liquidation accounting

Tax compliance & advisory

Getting the returns right is the easy half. The harder half is knowing which positions will survive an inspection and which will not — and having the working papers to prove it three years later.

  • Corporate income tax computation, return preparation and review
  • VAT registration, return review and refund claims
  • Withholding tax on domestic and cross-border payments
  • Tax health checks and exposure quantification
  • Representation and technical support through ETA inspections, assessments and appeals
  • Payroll and expatriate tax, including social insurance interaction

E-invoicing & ETA systems

Egypt's e-invoice and e-receipt regime is now a condition of doing business: non-compliant documents put input VAT recovery, expense deductibility and public contracts at risk, alongside direct penalties.

  • ETA portal registration and taxpayer profile setup
  • Electronic signature procurement and renewal
  • Integration design between ERP and the ETA platform, including item coding (GS1 / EGS)
  • Migration of legacy master data and customer/supplier records
  • Ongoing submission monitoring, rejection clearance and reconciliation to the VAT return
  • Five-year archiving and audit trail design

Transfer pricing

Egypt's rules follow the OECD framework, and the ETA has become materially more assertive in applying them. Documentation prepared as an afterthought is where most assessments begin.

  • Local file and master file preparation, aligned to the group's global documentation
  • Materiality assessment against the EGP 15 million related-party transaction threshold
  • Functional analysis and method selection
  • Benchmarking studies and review of group-prepared benchmarks for Egyptian defensibility
  • Intercompany agreements and policy design
  • Country-by-country reporting notification support and audit defence

International tax & Pillar Two

For the Egyptian entity of a multinational group, the questions are rarely local ones. They are about treaty access, permanent establishment risk, and how the local numbers behave once they land in a group calculation.

  • Double tax treaty analysis and relief procedures
  • Permanent establishment risk assessment for cross-border service and project structures
  • Withholding tax optimisation on royalties, services, interest and dividends
  • OECD Pillar Two impact assessment and data-readiness review for in-scope groups
  • Cross-border structuring for inbound investment into Egypt
  • Support to group tax functions on Egyptian positions and disclosures

Finance function advisory

Both partners have built and run finance operations at scale. That experience translates directly into how a growing Egyptian business should organise its close, its controls and its people.

  • Shared service centre and centre-of-excellence design and rollout
  • Month-end close acceleration and calendar redesign
  • Internal control frameworks and segregation-of-duties review
  • Finance process documentation, standardisation and automation opportunity assessment
  • Interim finance leadership and technical support for special projects
  • Financial due diligence support and post-transaction integration of finance

Sectors

Who we work with

Our engagements have concentrated in industrial and manufacturing groups, energy and infrastructure, professional publishing and services, real estate and development, and the Egyptian subsidiaries of European and Gulf-headquartered groups. We also advise individuals on cross-border pension, severance and equity-award taxation.

We deliberately keep the client list small enough that both partners know every file.
