About Nimbus Finance

Nimbus Finance was built to give SMEs financial clarity without the complexity of large firms. We believe accounting is more than compliance; it’s a partner in growth.

Founded by Abdul ElShaweesh, with 13+ years of experience across the GCC & Europe, Nimbus Finance was created to solve a common challenge: SMEs don’t fail for lack of ideas, but for lack of trusted financial guidance.

That’s why we take a boutique approach: personalized service, tailored solutions, certified expertise, and agile delivery. With Nimbus Finance, you gain a global perspective and a personal partner to ensure local & international compliance, improve profitability, and scale with confidence.

We are a dedicated team of 20+ accountants, analysts, and tax specialists serving 390+ clients across the UAE with the same focus and care you’d expect from a private office.
