Uniqus Consultech has expanded its presence in the Middle East with the opening of a new office in Doha, Qatar. The company, a global consulting firm specialising in AI-driven accounting and reporting consulting, governance, risk and compliance, sustainability, technology, and valuations, aims to support organisations across Qatar’s private and public sectors as the country faces a rapidly evolving business and regulatory landscape.
The Doha office will serve a diverse client base, including government-linked entities, family-owned businesses, and multinational corporations operating in the region. Uniqus plans to focus its advisory services on financial reporting, finance operations, internal controls, internal audit, valuations, sustainability, and technology, particularly in AI-enabled solutions.
Qatar’s market dynamics present several opportunities for specialist consulting services. According to company executives, there is a notable gap in accounting and reporting advisory, partly due to conflicts of interest and limited advisory depth from large global audit firms. This creates a niche for Uniqus to establish itself as an independent and expert advisor in this field.
Additionally, regulatory requirements are becoming more stringent, with increased oversight from bodies such as the Qatar Central Bank, Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority, and Qatar Financial Markets Authority. These authorities are driving stronger governance, risk management, internal controls, and compliance frameworks, which in turn bolster demand for advisory services related to enterprise risk management and internal audit functions.
Furthermore, Qatar’s commitment to digital transformation and AI adoption in both public and private sectors is fueling sustained demand for technology-focused consulting. Uniqus aims to leverage its proprietary AI platforms—such as Reporting UniVerse, Risk UniVerse, ESG UniVerse, and AI UniVerse—to deliver technology-led transformations across finance, risk, and compliance functions.
Jamil Khatri, co-founder and CEO of Uniqus, described Qatar as a key market within the firm’s broader Gulf Cooperation Council strategy, which also includes Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. He noted that the firm is already collaborating with several large companies in Qatar and views the establishment of a local office as a foundation for significant future growth.
Dinesh Jangid, regional managing partner for the Middle East, highlighted a particular need in family-owned businesses that have growth ambitions but lack robust finance and risk management infrastructure. He pointed to preparatory needs for initial public offerings, evolving regulatory environments, and investor demands for sustainability reporting as driving factors behind the firm’s expansion.
Uniqus’ approach, which avoids audit conflicts and integrates a global delivery model with advanced AI tools, is designed to offer differentiated advisory solutions. With its entry into the Qatari market, the company seeks to address the increasing complexity of financial, governance, and technological challenges faced by organisations in the region.
