UAE – Expanding into the UAE

Bridging the UK and UAE – Local insight, global vision

Based in the UAE’s international financial centres – Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) – Russell Bedford (Dubai) Limited, established in 2006, is a full-service auditing and accounting practice committed to delivering exceptional client service through a comprehensive understanding of our clients’ needs and taking a practical approach with well-customised solutions to meet and exceed expectations.  

Russell Bedford (Dubai) Limited is ultimately owned by Lubbock Fine LLP. The firm was one of the first to become Registered Auditors with the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). In 2016, we established Russell Bedford Mohamed Al Hashmi Auditors & Accountants to cater for clients in Mainland UAE and other Free Zones. Following the success of our office in DIFC, we expanded by establishing a branch office in ADGM, where we were recognised as auditors in 2020.

The firm’s clients are predominantly financial services companies regulated by the DFSA, Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) and Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA).
