Accountant & Internal Auditor · UAE Corporate Tax, Controls & FP&A

The numbers hold.
I make sure of it.

I'm Aden Ansari, a finance professional with 8+ years across internal audit, accounting, compliance and financial reporting in the UAE and India. I oversee audit and finance for a nine-company group, delivered the group's first UAE Corporate Tax filing cycle, and build Excel automation from scratch. I once traced a ₹50 lakh irregularity nobody else had seen. I also write, because clear numbers deserve clear words.

About

Most of my work happens where the ledger meets the process: testing internal controls, closing the month, reconciling what the bank says against what the books believe. In Dubai I run audit and finance oversight for two client groups and a standalone company, nine entities in all, reviewing records, flagging risk gaps, and turning MIS and variance reports into decisions senior management can act on. My scope expanded to full audit oversight of all nine entities in May 2026.

On the tax side I delivered the group's first UAE Corporate Tax filing cycle: taxable-income computations, provisions and add-backs, connected-person and related-party rules, and sole-establishment versus LLC treatment across the structure. I prepare and reconcile VAT201 returns with workpapers that tie filed returns back to the general ledger, and maintain payroll and gratuity registers under Article 51 of the UAE Labour Law alongside MoHRE labour-card compliance.

The other half of my toolkit is automation. I'm a certified Excel VBA developer who has built payroll systems, attendance trackers and finance tools from a blank workbook, three of them now published free, and I'm currently adding Power BI, SQL and Python. Grounded in UAE VAT and Corporate Tax, GST, and the unglamorous discipline of getting filings in on time.

Excel tools, free downloads

Working systems, not templates. Built in Excel, tested in real finance work. Download, open, use. No installation, no subscription.

Credit Control Manager

An Excel tool that tells you which customer will become your next bad debt.

Built by an accountant who chases real debtors every week. Not a template. A working system. One macro-enabled workbook. No installation. No subscription.

What it does

Drop in your Tally ledger exports. The tool reads them for you. For every customer, it works out four things: how fast they actually pay you, to the day. How much of their dues they have ever cleared. How old their unpaid balance really is. Whether their balance reconciles with your books.

Then it gives each customer a risk score out of 100. Safe customers get a recommended credit limit. Risky ones get a warning. Critical ones get flagged as projected bad debt, before the money is gone.

Paste your full debtors list and it builds a work queue: top 10 biggest balances flagged first. Tick them off, the next 10 appear. One click builds a management report in plain English. One click clears everything for the next cycle.

How it will help

Stop guessing who deserves credit. Know it. Your biggest exposures get chased first, not whoever called loudest. Bad debts get caught while they are still collectable.

The credit limit conversation with management becomes a printed report, not an argument. Hours of ledger analysis become minutes.

Who is this for

Accountants and credit controllers drowning in customer ledgers. Small business owners selling on credit without a credit policy. Trading businesses in building materials, FMCG and spare parts, where 20 customers hold 80% of your money. Finance managers who need to justify credit decisions on paper.

If you sell on credit and track it in Tally or Excel, this was built for you.

Attendance & Salary Sheet

A complete attendance and payroll system inside one Excel file.

Employee database, attendance register, and salary calculation, connected and automated. No HR software fees. No learning curve. Just Excel, working harder than you thought it could.

What it does

Keeps a proper employee database, with photographs. Add, update, or remove staff through simple forms, not messy cells. Tracks daily attendance in a clean register.

Then does the part everyone dreads: the payout calculation. Attendance flows into salary automatically. Days worked, days absent, payable amount: computed, not typed.

An admin lock hides the sensitive sheets from casual eyes. One click hides, one click reveals. A built-in help sheet means anyone on your team can run it.

How it will help

Salary day stops being a two-day exercise. Attendance disputes end, because the register is the record. Calculation errors disappear, and so do the overpayments they cause.

New staff onboard in minutes with a proper database entry, photo included. Your salary data stays private, even on a shared computer.

Who is this for

Small and medium businesses running payroll manually. Shops, workshops, contractors, and trading firms with 5 to 100 staff. Accountants handling payroll for multiple clients. Any owner who has ever paid a salary twice, or late, because of a spreadsheet mess.

If payroll eats your month-end, this gives it back.

Currency Converter: Amount in Words

One Excel function that writes any amount in words, the way invoices and cheques demand it.

USD, AED and INR. Dollars and Cents, Dirhams and Fils, Rupees in Lakhs and Crores. Not a workbook to open. Just a single function you paste in once and keep forever.

USD=CurrencyInWords(1250.50, "USD")
One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Dollars and Fifty Cents Only
AED=CurrencyInWords(500.75, "AED")
Five Hundred Dirhams and Seventy Five Fils Only
INR=CurrencyInWords(150000, "INR")
One Lakh Fifty Thousand Rupees Only

What it does

Type one formula and it hands back the words. It knows each currency properly: Dollars and Cents, Dirhams and Fils, Rupees and Paise.

It uses the right number system for each: Millions and Billions for USD and AED, Lakhs and Crores for INR.

It reads the decimals as minor units and closes every amount with "Only", exactly how a cheque or invoice needs it. Leave the currency out and it defaults to USD.

How it will help

Invoices, cheques and payment vouchers get their amount-in-words line without a second thought. No more typing long amounts by hand, and no more mismatches between the figures and the words.

It works inside any workbook you already have. One function covers your UAE work and your India work both.

Who is this for

Accountants and cashiers who write cheques, invoices and payment vouchers. Anyone billing in Dollars, Dirhams or Rupees who needs the words spelled correctly. Businesses working across the UAE and India, switching between Western and Indian number systems.

If you have ever typed "Dirhams and Fils" by hand on an invoice, this ends that.

Before you use it, about 60 seconds

One-time setup. You are adding a function to your own workbook.

  1. Open the code file and copy everything with Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+C.
  2. In your workbook, press Alt+F11 to open the VBA editor.
  3. Menu: Insert → Module. Click the blank window and paste with Ctrl+V.
  4. Close the editor and save your file as macro-enabled (.xlsm). Now type =CurrencyInWords(...) in any cell.

Use it in every workbook, even .xlsx

Set it up once and the formula works in any file you open, because the code lives in a macro-enabled home, not inside your .xlsx. Two ways:

Option A: Personal Macro Workbook (this PC)
  1. No Personal Macro Workbook yet? Record any macro once with "Store macro in: Personal Macro Workbook", then stop. That creates it.
  2. Press Alt+F11. In the left pane, open VBAProject (PERSONAL.XLSB) → Insert → Module.
  3. Paste the code and press Ctrl+S (keep PERSONAL.XLSB when asked).
  4. Done. =CurrencyInWords(...) now works in every workbook you open, .xlsx included.
Option B: Excel Add-in (.xlam)
  1. Paste the code into a blank workbook's module (Alt+F11 → Insert → Module).
  2. File → Save As → choose "Excel Add-in (*.xlam)".
  3. File → Options → Add-ins → Manage: Excel Add-ins → Go → tick it → OK.
  4. =CurrencyInWords(...) now works with no prefix in any workbook on that PC.

Sending a finished sheet to someone without the setup? Copy → Paste Special → Values first, so the words stay as plain text, no macro needed. (Otherwise their file shows #NAME? on recalculation.)

Get the code Copy it in. Use it in minutes.
