UK–UAE Tax Strategy | Transfer Pricing | Regulatory Compliance
Haroon leads the firm’s international tax advisory services, providing technical oversight on group structuring, intercompany transactions and regulatory alignment.

Our Core Values

At Q Accountants, we believe structure without strategy leads to risk and advice without clarity leads to confusion.

These are the principles that guide every engagement, every conversation and every structure we build.

Tax Planning Comes First

We don’t work backwards. Every structure starts with a clear, compliant tax plan to protect profits, minimise exposure and reduce surprises later.

UK–UAE Specialists

We understand both tax systems and how they interact. That means tighter planning, fewer gaps and smoother global expansion for you.

Straight forward,
Strategic Advice

No jargon. No fluff. Just plain speaking, commercially focused guidance that helps you make confident decisions across borders.

Tailored to You,
Never Templates

We don’t do off the shelf. Every client engagement is bespoke, built around your business model, risk profile and regulatory requirements.
