Honest International Lands in Dubai: Supporting Contractors at the Heart of Global Energy.

A Major Milestone for Honest

We’re proud to announce the launch of Honest International’s first overseas office – in Dubai, a major step in our mission to support contractors and agencies around the globe.

This expansion follows the rapid success of our UK based sister company, Honest Payroll Ltd, which exceeded £17 million turnover in its first year. Built on transparency, service, and compliance, we’re now bringing the same market leading standards to one of the world’s most dynamic energy hubs.

Why Dubai?

Dubai is more than just a strategic location – it’s a global centre of excellence in oil, gas, and renewable energy. With large – scale projects, cross-border contractor movement, and complex payroll needs, the region is perfectly suited to our expertise.

At Honest International, we specialise in making payroll, tax, and compliance seamless for contractors and the agencies that support them.

Always On. Always Honest.

Our new Dubai based team means we’re now offering truly 24/7 support, no matter where in the world our clients operate. Whether it’s urgent onboarding, payment clarification, or international tax guidance—we’re ready, responsive, and reliable.

“Our mission is simple,” says Matthew Blane, Global Director.
“We want to make payroll and accountancy stress-free, tax-compliant, and transparent—especially in high-pressure, high-impact industries like energy. Dubai is the perfect place for us to bring that vision to life.”

With over 25 years of experience in payroll and contractor accountancy, Matthew leads this global venture with deep sector knowledge and a proven track record of success.
