I specialize in getting foreign investors started in Dubai and work with seasoned local companies who handle everything from start to finish.

A bit about me: I’m a payroll manager for a restaurant group, where I handle everything from creating policies and SOPs to processing payroll and ensuring compliance with state and federal laws.

@Ximei Yue,You mention that your job is demanding—do you think you’ll have the capacity to handle a time-intensive BRRRR project on top of that?
