Fixed Assets Register & Depreciation Entries
We build and maintain a complete fixed assets register, calculate depreciation according to your chosen method and post periodic depreciation journal entries. Service designed for UAE businesses to improve accuracy, compliance and reporting.
Overview
AL SAHRAA will compile a single, auditable fixed assets register capturing purchase details, locations, serial numbers, useful life and disposal history. We validate asset data against invoices and prior records, then classify assets to align with your chart of accounts and tax reporting needs. We prepare depreciation schedules using the method you select (straight-line, reducing balance, or local practice), calculate period-end depreciation, and prepare journal entries ready for posting to your accounting system (Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Xero, Tally, or others). We ensure entries reconcile with your financial statements and fixed asset subledger. Deliverables include the fixed assets register (spreadsheet or integrated module), depreciation schedules, posted or ready-to-post journal entries, and handover notes or training for in-house teams. This service suits new setups, cleanup projects, month-end bookkeeping, and annual closing processes in Dubai, Ajman and across the UAE.

Frequently asked questions
What is a fixed assets register and why do I need one?
A fixed assets register is a detailed record of all long‑term assets (cost, purchase date, location, serial numbers, useful life and disposal history). It supports accurate depreciation, financial reporting and asset tracking for audits and insurance.
Which depreciation methods do you support?
We support straight‑line, declining balance (reducing balance) and other commonly accepted methods. We implement the method you choose and document assumptions for consistent reporting.
How often do you post depreciation entries?
Depreciation can be calculated and posted monthly, quarterly or annually depending on your reporting cycle. We typically align with your bookkeeping cadence and close schedules.
Can you integrate the register with our accounting system?
Yes. We prepare registers and journal entries compatible with Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Xero, Tally and other systems, and can assist with importing or posting entries where access and scope allow.
What happens when an asset is disposed or fully depreciated?
We record disposals with supporting documentation, remove or mark assets as disposed in the register, calculate any gain or loss on disposal and prepare the necessary journal entries to reflect the change in your accounts.
