The UK Accountant Who Speaks Arabic
Specialist UK accountant for overseas companies and foreign-owned businesses. An AAT-regulated firm specialising in company compliance for Arab directors across the Gulf, Levant, and North Africa. We communicate in Arabic and work in your time zone.
Why language matters in UK compliance
UK company compliance is not just form-filling. It is legal deadlines, automatic penalties for late accounts and tax returns, and official notices with short time limits. A director who understands what is happening can act. A director relying on translation or interpretation risks acting late.
Fileminder works with UK company directors from anywhere, and specialises in Arab directors because we speak their language. It is the centre of our work, not a side service from a general accounting practice. We understand the context: a Dubai-based director with a UK trading company, a Saudi investor holding property through a limited company, a Kuwaiti national who inherited a UK company. The context differs. The requirements are identical.
We communicate via WhatsApp in the language you choose. We work Sunday to Thursday on Gulf time. There are no emails sent to a faceless support team.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an accountant who speaks Arabic to manage my UK company?
Not legally, but practically, yes. UK company compliance involves specific deadlines, terminology, and regulatory requirements that are easy to misunderstand across a language barrier. An Arabic-speaking accountant eliminates the translation layer and ensures you understand exactly what you're signing and filing.
What makes Fileminder different from other Arabic-speaking accountants in the UK?
Fileminder is ACSP-authorised by Companies House and AAT-regulated, and works with ACCA-qualified accountants. We work with company directors from anywhere, and we specialise in Arab directors because we speak your language. We work during Arab-world hours (Sunday–Thursday, 9am–6pm GST) and communicate via WhatsApp, in Arabic or English.
Can you verify my identity as a UK company director using my Gulf ID?
Often, yes. As a registered ACSP, Fileminder verifies directors remotely. A current passport from any country works; for a national ID such as an Emirates ID, Saudi national ID or Kuwaiti civil ID, we first confirm it meets the current Companies House standard. The process is completed remotely via secure video call, no UK visit required.
Which Arab countries do you serve?
We serve directors based anywhere in the Arab world: UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, and beyond. Your location makes no difference to UK company compliance obligations, and it makes no difference to us.
