Driven by Experience.
Focused on Value.
At Univia Global Consultancy (UGC), we are not just accountants — we are strategic partners in your financial journey. With over 80 years of collective experience in accounting, taxation, audit, compliance and business advisory, our firm brings global expertise with local insight.
With headquarters in the UAE and outreach across the GCC, we empower entrepreneurs, SMEs and corporates with clarity, compliance and confidence. Our proactive, client-first approach ensures every engagement drives sustainable growth.
We are an AI-driven firm — embedding automation, intelligent workflows and real-time analytics into how we deliver finance functions, so our clients move faster and with greater precision.
Built on Experience.
Driven by Purpose.
Univia Global was founded by practitioners who spent their careers at the forefront of UAE and GCC advisory — within leading professional services firms, regulatory environments, and multinational enterprises. We saw firsthand that growing businesses were consistently underserved: promised senior expertise, yet delivered junior teams. We built Univia to change that.
Today, every client engagement is led by a senior qualified advisor — FCCA, CPA, or specialist-certified — with deep, hands-on knowledge of the UAE regulatory environment. Our 80+ years of combined expertise is not a number on a page. It is in every tax position we defend, every audit we lead, and every strategy we deliver.
We have embraced AI-driven finance as part of how we work — integrating automation, intelligent workflows, and real-time analytics into everyday finance functions. Our clients benefit from faster, sharper outcomes, without ever losing the senior-led oversight that defines our practice.
