About the Founder

Lisa Mekdem

French Expert-Comptable Mémorialiste

Lisa is a French Expert-Comptable Mémorialiste — one of the most rigorous professional designations in European accounting — and the founder of Wealth Atlas Accounting & Bookkeeping L.L.C, a reference firm established in Dubai, specialising in cross-border accounting, advisory and financial structuring between the UAE and Europe.

Her career was built at the heart of the French accounting profession: interventions at national congresses, publications in institutional journals, and engagement with the Ordre des Experts-Comptables at the highest levels. Then came a choice — not one of opportunity, but of conviction. Entrepreneurs and investors operating between Europe and the UAE deserved a firm capable of mastering both systems with equal rigour.

Lisa Mekdem - Founder of Wealth Atlas

"Behind Wealth Atlas, there is no firm. There is a trajectory, a conviction, and an expertise forged between two of the most demanding economic systems in the world."

Fluent in French and English, Lisa offers a rare combination: understanding a French exit tax in the morning, structuring a UAE Free Zone holding in the afternoon, and delivering an IFRS financial report by end of day — without ever losing sight of the client's broader strategy.

Wealth Atlas is not a volume firm. It is a precision firm, built for clients who understand the value of their time and reputation.
