What M B M CONSULTING does

M B M Consulting is a Dubai-headquartered professional services firm founded in 2017, operating as an FTA-Registered Tax Agent authorized to represent clients before the UAE Federal Tax Authority. The firm provides advisory and compliance services spanning UAE Corporate Tax, VAT and Excise Tax, Transfer Pricing, accounting and bookkeeping, audit support, management consultancy, business setup and structuring, and vendor-neutral ERP software advisory. It serves UAE mainland companies, Free Zone entities, and multinational group structures across industries including general trading, construction, financial services, contracting, investment, and food and beverage, with a testimonial roster spanning clients such as GKN Star General Trading, Precon Group, Albaddad Group, and NCM Investment Company (Kuwait).

The firm's service delivery is built on a 3-step engagement model — initial consultation, technical assessment, and advisory action plan — executed through in-person meetings at its Dubai Healthcare City office, remote consultations via phone, WhatsApp, and Zoom, and direct sales via website contact forms. There is no proprietary software platform; the firm's core technology asset is its regulatory authorization and its team of tax professionals applying UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 (Corporate Tax), VAT legislation, and OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines. Strategic partnerships with Dubai Department of Economy & Tourism, DMCC Free Zone, Meydan Free Zone, Dubai Media City Free Zone, and Odoo extend the firm into business setup and tax-aligned ERP implementation.

M B M Consulting generates revenue through professional advisory fees on a project or retainer basis across its seven core service lines. Distribution is direct to the end client with no resellers or third-party intermediaries, and marketing is driven through content marketing (website insights and blog), LinkedIn and Instagram organic presence, and direct consultation calls-to-action. The firm is privately held, has no disclosed external funding, no parent company or subsidiaries, and operates with a lean team of approximately 5 employees under the leadership of Mr. Balagopal Gopalakrishnan (Non-Executive Director) and Mr. Sreeram Vishwanathan (Director).

Core offering

M B M Consulting is a UAE-based professional services firm and FTA-Registered Tax Agent that delivers advisory and compliance services across Corporate Tax, VAT & Excise Tax, Transfer Pricing, Accounting & Bookkeeping, Audit & Assurance Support, Management Consultancy, Business Setup & Structuring, and vendor-neutral ERP & Software Advisory. Engagements follow a structured three-step process: initial consultation, technical assessment against UAE tax regulations, and a tailored advisory action plan, delivered directly to mainland companies, Free Zone entities, and multinational groups operating in the UAE and GCC.

Product overview

M B M Consulting is a UAE-based professional services firm offering a portfolio of advisory and compliance service lines rather than a single unified software product. Its core offerings span: Corporate Tax Advisory & Compliance (registration, return filing, Transfer Pricing, FTA representation), VAT & Excise Tax Advisory & Compliance (registration, return filing, voluntary disclosures, refunds, e-invoicing readiness), Accounting & Bookkeeping (monthly bookkeeping, backlog clean-ups, MIS reporting), Audit & Assurance Support (financial statements, IFRS advisory, due diligence, audit coordination), Management Consultancy (business valuation, financial modelling, outsourced CFO, risk assessment), Business Setup & Structuring (company formation, holding/SPV structuring, UBO compliance), and ERP & Software Advisory (vendor-neutral system selection and implementation for Zoho, QuickBooks, and Odoo). The service lines are interconnected — for example, ERP & Software Advisory directly supports accurate Corporate Tax and VAT compliance — and are delivered by FTA-Registered Tax Agents to mainland companies, Free Zone entities, and multinational groups.
