Meet the Founder
I’m Richard and I began my finance career at a Top 10 UK accounting firm where I qualified as an ICAEW Chartered Accountant. I trained in accounting and auditing SMEs across a range of sectors, then gained years of commercial experience in the food, education, and wholesale industries. I now run Principia providing accounting support for startups and SMEs in Dubai.
Your Trusted Chartered Accountant Firm in Dubai
After relocating to the UAE, I worked at one of the best-funded startups in Middle East history. It was there I saw firsthand how rapidly startups in Dubai grow — and how often they lack financial partners who truly understand their journey.
I started Principia to fill that gap: to offer Chartered Accountant services in Dubai designed for founders, by someone who understands their journey firsthand. I saw too many early-stage companies struggling with accountants who didn’t understand the speed or pressure of startup life. So I set out to build the kind of firm I wish more founders had access to.
