Established over 40 years ago in India, AKM Global has grown into a prominent accounting, tax, and business consulting firm with a team of 600 professionals. The firm operates six offices across India and has expanded its reach to Southeast Asia with a hub in Singapore. Recently, AKM Global has also launched its presence in the Middle East, using its new office in Dubai as the regional entry point.
In a statement regarding the news, AKM Global highlighted that the launch builds on their established track record in the UAE market, particularly in corporate tax services. The firm has provided various services to UAE-based companies, including advising a multinational on corporate tax and VAT, supporting the establishment of a Free Zone Entity, assisting with the setup of a representative office for a US-based multinational, and conducting tax benchmarking studies.
“Having actively served in the Middle East market for the past three years, this strategic expansion comes at a crucial time with the advent of the Corporate Tax regime in the UAE. This move underscores our commitment to enhancing our global reach and providing focused services to our clients in the region”, said Amit Maheshwari, partner in the Tax practice of AKM Global.
Leading the Tax services in the UAE is Yeeshu Sehgal, who has been with the firm for over four years and will be co-based in Dubai. “Our team of seasoned professionals bring unparalleled expertise to every engagement, from international tax planning and transfer pricing to tax advisory services and due diligence”, he said. The new Dubai office will also offer a range of services beyond taxation, including UAE/GCC market entry strategies (strategy), business valuation (financial advisory), and global mobility and immigration services.
Commenting on the expansion, Amit Maheshwari, managing partner of AKM Global stated, “With our combined expertise and dedication, we are confident in our ability to deliver exceptional service and support to our clients in the UAE”. For AKM Global, headquartered in Gurgaon, this expansion follows closely on the heels of another significant achievement – joining PrimeGlobal, a prestigious global network of independent accounting and advisory firms.
