Centralised, professional back‑office support for finance, HR, tax and operations – delivered by a UAE‑based expert team.
A Shared Services Centre (SSC) is a central team that handles common, repeatable business processes – such as accounting, HR, payroll, procurement and compliance – for the whole organisation instead of each department doing everything on its own.
Instead of multiple small finance or HR teams working differently in each entity or branch, an SSC uses standard processes, common systems and agreed service levels to deliver these activities from one place.
We combine Big 4 experience, deep UAE regulatory knowledge and a virtual delivery model tailored to SMEs, family groups and fast‑growing businesses.
In practical terms, an SSC can:
The outcome is a back office that is more consistent, more transparent and easier to scale as your business grows.
A traditional outsourcing model often sends work to a third‑party provider that works mostly on their own processes.
A Shared Services Centre is different:
At Virtual Accountants LLC, we provide a managed SSC service – combining your internal knowledge with our experienced team, proven frameworks and technology‑enabled workflows.
We design and run a Shared Services Centre that fits your size, structure and growth plans. Our SSC model covers several core functional “towers”.
Centralised finance operations to keep your numbers accurate, timely and audit‑ready.
Typical scope:
This is ideal for businesses that want the benefits of a strong finance team without building a large in‑house department in every location.
Let Virtual Accountants LLC handle the numbers—so you can focus on what you do best: growing your business.
A central HR operations team that ensures employee data and payroll are handled correctly and consistently.
Typical scope:
This helps your HR leaders focus on people, culture and retention, while we manage the administrative engine in the background.
Tax & Compliance Shared Services
UAE tax rules are evolving quickly. Our SSC helps you stay compliant by keeping data clean and documentation organised.
Typical scope:
You keep final sign‑off and decision‑making. We take care of the heavy lifting in the background.
Procurement & Vendor Shared Services
A shared procurement support function that standardises purchase‑to‑pay processes.
Typical scope:
This reduces leakage, duplication and process delays – and ensures your finance team gets clean, matched data.
No SSC works without clear processes and rules. We help you design, document and maintain them.
This creates a single, consistent way of working across all companies and locations.
By consolidating work into one SSC team instead of multiple separate teams, you can:
For many organisations, this leads to significant cost savings and better use of senior management time.
A centralised model makes it easier to:
With all transactions processed through a central team, you gain:
This supports better decisions by your CFO, CEO and Board.

Technology‑Agnostic, Process‑First
We work with the accounting, HR and ERP systems you already use (for example QuickBooks, Zoho, Xero or custom ERPs), and focus on:
We start with a structured review of:
From there we propose a target SSC model – what to centralise, what to keep local, expected benefits and phasing.
2. Transition & Knowledge Transfer
Once the model is agreed, we:
You can start small (for example, AP + payroll only) and scale as confidence grows.
3. Steady‑State Operations & Improvement
After go‑live, we operate your SSC with:
You get a reliable, scalable back office – without having to build and manage everything yourself.

No. While SSCs are common in large groups, the same principles work very well for fast‑growing SMEs and family groups. We can start with a lean SSC focused only on finance or payroll and expand over time.
Yes. Many clients begin with Finance Shared Services or HR & Payroll Shared Services and add procurement or tax later. The model is modular – you don’t need to centralise everything on day one.
We see our SSC as an extension of your team, not a replacement. Your CFO / HR lead retains overall responsibility and decision‑making, while our team handles agreed operational work with clear SOPs, SLAs and escalation paths.
Yes – we follow data confidentiality, access control and backup practices aligned with reputable cloud tools and your internal policies. We can also work with your IT team to align on additional security requirements.
