Professional services firm AMRG & Associates has rebranded as AMRG Global, using its entry into the United Arab Emirates to tap rising demand for specialized advisory services amid sweeping regulatory changes in the Gulf.

The launch of corporate tax, alongside an increasingly mature VAT framework and compliance requirements such as Economic Substance Regulations and BEPS alignment, has reshaped the advisory landscape in the UAE. Industry executives say these shifts are driving demand for firms capable of navigating complex cross-border tax structures and regulatory obligations.

AMRG Global said its Dubai office will anchor its Middle East operations, with a strategy centered on high-value, niche services rather than volume-led compliance work. The firm plans to focus on India–GCC cross-border tax structuring, dispute resolution and litigation support, as well as regulatory and compliance advisory.

A key differentiator, the firm said, will be its push into tech-enabled solutions, including ERP-linked tax optimization, automation of tax processes, and data-driven compliance frameworks aimed at reducing turnaround time and improving accuracy.

Managing Partner Rajat Mohan said the expansion aligns with growing demand from businesses operating across the India–UAE corridor, where regulatory complexity has increased in recent years. “The UAE’s evolving tax ecosystem is creating opportunities for specialized advisory firms with cross-jurisdictional expertise,” he said.

The move follows a year of operational restructuring, with the firm reporting strong revenue growth alongside a leaner, technology-driven workforce model, positioning it to scale in new markets.
