Running an e-commerce or trading business in the UAE looks simple on the surface — until cash disappears, margins shrink, and reports stop making sense.
At The Legit FZCO, we specialize in accounting systems for UAE e-commerce and trading companies that sell online, import goods, manage inventory, and operate across multiple platforms and currencies.
We don’t just “do bookkeeping.”
We build financial control so your business can scale without chaos.
Who This Is For
We work with UAE-based businesses that operate in:
• E-commerce (Shopify, WooCommerce, Amazon, Noon)
• Import & trading companies
• Beauty, fashion, electronics & consumer goods brands
• Businesses holding inventory in the UAE or abroad
• Founders selling online but unsure where profit actually comes from
If you’re generating revenue but can’t clearly see margins, cash flow, or real profitability, this page is for you.
Common Problems We Fix
Most UAE e-commerce and trading businesses come to us with the same issues:
• Revenue looks high, but cash is always tight
• No clarity on product-level profitability
• Inventory numbers don’t match reality
• Ads are running, but ROAS is unclear in accounting
• Bank balances don’t reconcile
• Reports exist, but founders don’t trust them
These problems don’t come from sales.
They come from broken financial structure.

Case Study Insight (Example)
