Financial Services in Qatar

Complete Financial Services for Businesses in Qatar

Operating a compliant, profitable business in Qatar requires more than a trade licence. Qatar's regulatory landscape — spanning the General Tax Authority (GTA), Qatar Central Bank (QCB), the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MOCI), and the Ministry of Labour's Wage Protection System (WPS) — demands disciplined financial management from day one. Tejwaans Corporate Group delivers a full stack of financial services in Qatar: auditing advisory, corporate tax, VAT-ready bookkeeping, corporate banking introductions, WPS-compliant payroll, and ERP implementation — everything a growing company needs to stay audit-ready, tax-efficient, and operationally sound.

Whether you are planning company formation in Qatar, migrating from another GCC jurisdiction, or restructuring an existing entity, our team of PRO specialists and financial advisors ensures your finance function is set up correctly the first time. We work with Mainland LLCs, WLLs, Free Zone entities, and QFC-licensed firms.

Our Financial Services Portfolio

Every Qatar-based business needs these six pillars to stay compliant and competitive. We deliver each one end-to-end or you can engage us for individual services as needed.

1. Auditing Advisory Services

Qatar's Commercial Companies Law No. 11 of 2015 requires every incorporated entity to submit audited financial statements annually. An external audit is also mandatory for CR renewal, corporate tax filings, and bank facility applications. Our audit teams provide statutory audits, internal-control reviews, and forensic audits prepared in full compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and QCB/GTA requirements.

2. Corporate Tax & VAT Readiness

Qatar levies a 10% corporate tax on profits attributable to foreign ownership, managed through the GTA's Dhareeba portal. We handle end-to-end tax registration, monthly and annual filings, tax residency certificates (TRC), withholding tax on cross-border payments, and transfer-pricing documentation. Although VAT has not yet been implemented in Qatar, we configure your books to be VAT-ready from day one — so when the regulation takes effect, you are already compliant. Our tax advisors also support multinational groups facing the OECD Pillar Two 15% global minimum tax. Explore our tax registration and compliance services →

3. Corporate Banking Support

Opening a corporate bank account in Qatar can take 2 to 8 weeks depending on the bank, the business activity, and the quality of your KYC dossier. We have established relationships with Qatar National Bank (QNB), Commercial Bank of Qatar, Doha Bank, Dukhan Bank, and QIIB and guide you through the complete process — account opening, beneficial-ownership disclosure, trade-finance facilities, cash management, and multi-currency accounts for cross-border businesses.

4. Bookkeeping & Accounting

Disciplined monthly bookkeeping is the foundation of every other financial process. Our team maintains your general ledger, accounts receivable and payable, bank reconciliations, and monthly management reports using either QuickBooks, Zoho Books, Xero, Oracle NetSuite, or your preferred ERP. Books are structured to be audit-ready and to produce the exact data the GTA needs at tax-filing time. Get professional bookkeeping services in Qatar →

5. HR & Payroll Services

Running payroll in Qatar means managing end-of-service benefits (ESB) under Labour Law No. 14 of 2004, annual air-ticket entitlements, and varied allowance structures across nationalities. Our HR and payroll specialists handle monthly salary runs, ESB accrual tracking, leave and attendance, and employee onboarding and offboarding documentation.

6. Wage Protection System (WPS) Compliance

The WPS is mandatory for all private-sector employers in Qatar. Salaries must be transferred through a licensed local bank within the cycle set by the Ministry of Labour. Missed or late transfers can result in company blacklisting, CR suspension, and fines up to QAR 6,000 per affected worker. We handle WPS file generation, bank uploads, exception resolution, and monthly reconciliation with the Ministry. Learn how WPS compliance works in Qatar →

7. ERP & Finance System Implementation

For mid-sized and enterprise clients, we implement full ERP platforms that unify accounting, inventory, payroll, CRM, and project costing. We certify partners of Oracle NetSuite, SAP Business One, Zoho One, and Odoo — configured specifically for Qatar's tax rules, WPS format, and IFRS reporting requirements. Implementation typically takes 8 to 16 weeks depending on complexity and data migration.
