One Point of Accountability
Tax, residency, banking, schools, operations — held above the process, as one picture.
A Private Advisory Practice · Dubai
PAYAED
Your Dubai. Handled.
The Practice
A different life deserves more than a setup service.
A move here is never one decision. It is tax in the country you are leaving, a structure for what travels with you, a residency route, a banking relationship, a school year that cannot slip. The market sells the pieces. We hold the whole, and engage the best of every specialism on your behalf, under one point of accountability.
The Model
All of it coordinated. None of it by you.
You sit with us. Below us sits a bench of specialists: appointed on your behalf, briefed in writing, invoiced to you at cost. We hold the whole, and we answer for it.
The PAYAED Standard
Six lines we hold to.
Quiet Efficiency
The best support is invisible. Anticipated early, executed without noise.
Substance Over Sales
We do not claim every expertise. We appoint it, and oversee it properly.
Built Around Real Life
Family, business, property and banking move at once. So do we.
Long-Term Thinking
Decisions made on arrival echo for years. We design for the years.
Discretion Matters
Clients arrive mid-change. Privacy and judgement are fundamentals, not features.
And five we refuse to cross
What we do not do.
No commissions.
Nothing flows to us from anyone but the client. Absolute.
No packages.
One engagement, one scope, one number.
No signed tax opinions.
FTA-registered agents sign. We brief, co-author, quality-control.
No client money held.
Third-party costs are paid by you, directly, at cost.
No scale past our standards.
We cap our clients. Beyond the cap, we refer or we wait.
The Work

Every engagement is scoped on its own facts. One fee, agreed in writing, before the work begins.
In Sequence
First the question. Then the answer.
Discovery.
Forty minutes with a partner. No preparation required.
Scoping.
A written scope within forty-eight hours. Two pages, one fee. No obligation.
Engagement.
One Master Engagement Letter. Everything annexed.
Work.
Specialists hold their specialities. We hold the whole. You speak to one person.
Deliverable.
A report that survives a second reading, or an implementation handed over in order.
Handover.
Obligations, relationships and filing dates, set into a simple calendar.
The line that separates a practice from an agent
Our partners are paid by the client. So is the practice. Nothing flows sideways. Ever.
Deliberately Small
Two partners. A senior bench.
Every client speaks to a founding partner.
Managing Partner
George Varghese
Two decades in the UAE; founder of a multi-entity group with anchor clients in government and the private sector. Builds the scope, runs the bench, holds the relationship.
Founding Partner
Shirin Latheef
Holds the client’s side of every file — discovery, documentation, and every deliverable returned reviewed, consolidated, ready for a decision.
The Specialist Bench
Tax AgentsCounselBankingAuditPropertyInsurance
Vetted, appointed by name, reviewed after every file. Paid by the client, never by us.
A serious question deserves an unhurried hour.
Forty minutes, no preparation. By the end, we will both know.
