Lisa Mekdem
French Expert-Comptable Stagiaire (Mémorialiste) — final-year candidate, Ordre des Experts-Comptables
Lisa is completing the French Expert-Comptable qualification — one of the most demanding accounting pathways in Europe — as a final-year stagiaire and mémorialiste with the Ordre des Experts-Comptables. She is the founder of Wealth Atlas Accounting & Bookkeeping L.L.C, established in Dubai and specialising in cross-border accounting, advisory and financial structuring between the UAE and Europe.
Her career was built within the French accounting profession: speaking at national congresses, publishing in the profession's institutional journals, and taking an active part in the work of the Ordre des Experts-Comptables. 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.
Wealth Atlas Accounting & Bookkeeping L.L.C is a firm incorporated and licensed in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is not registered with the French Ordre des Experts-Comptables and does not provide services reserved to French-registered practitioners. Statutory French engagements are carried out by the registered member firms of the Alliance Expert group.
"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.
Awards & Prizes
1st Prize — Concours d'Éloquence EPE
