Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between accounting for an LLC and a Diia.City resident?
An LLC runs on the simplified or general tax system with standard bookkeeping, payroll, and tax. A Diia.City resident uses gig contracts, undergoes a mandatory audit, and files a compliance report. We handle both and help you choose the right model for your company.
Do you help open an LLC from scratch?
Yes. We handle registration, incorporation documents, and setting up the books, from filing through your first reporting period, so you can start operating without delays.
Do you support foreign companies?
Yes. We support entities in the US, EU, UAE, and other jurisdictions: accounting and tax, opening international bank accounts, and packaged solutions for IT teams operating globally.
