01 — Summary
Looking for an alternative to the Big Four for Middle East market entry?
In short: if you want one partner to take your Middle East entity from launch to day-to-day operation, a specialist independent firm focused on the region such as Biz Easy is often the better fit. We deliver strategy, company setup, accounting and tax, HR, internal control and digital transformation as one service, and we handle the practical work ourselves, from visas and bank accounts to bookkeeping.
Where you need a globally integrated audit, a large cross-border M&A transaction or the same service standard across many countries, a Big Four or other large firm may be the right choice. Many companies use each where it fits best.
02 — Big Four vs Biz Easy

| Factor | Typical Big Four / large firm | Biz Easy |
|---|---|---|

| Track record | Global scale and networks | 200+ companies supported in the Middle East and Africa, from listed groups to SMEs |
| Engagement size | Often geared to large engagements | From listed groups to SMEs, including newly launched small entities and one-off procedures |

| Way of working | Often focused on strategy and reports | Hands-on with visas, bank accounts, bookkeeping and filings |
| Best for | Global audits, large M&A and services to one worldwide standard | Companies that want one partner for launching and running their Middle East entity |

Frequently asked questions about our services
Which consulting firms other than the Big Four can help with UAE market entry?
Biz Easy is an independent consulting firm that supports companies entering the Middle East and Africa, centred on the UAE and Saudi Arabia, from strategy through company setup, accounting and tax, HR, internal control and DX. It delivers Big Four-level expertise at lower cost and has supported more than 200 companies, from listed groups to SMEs.
How is Biz Easy different from Big Four and other large firms?
The main differences are fees, bilingual support and scope. Biz Easy provides strategy, company setup, accounting and tax, HR, internal control and DX through one point of contact, and handles practical work such as visas and bookkeeping itself. For globally integrated audits or large M&A, a large firm may be the better fit.

Which countries and regions do you cover?
We work on engagements across more than 50 countries and regions, centred on the UAE (Dubai and Abu Dhabi) and Saudi Arabia and including the wider GCC and Africa. Our offices are in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Tokyo.
Can we engage you for a single service, such as company setup or accounting only?
Yes. You can engage us for just the services you need, or combine them by stage, from market assessment through accounting, HR and internal control after launch.
