We are aware that our staff is the key asset of the Company. In order to deliver the quality you deserve, we need to select competent, proactive, ambitious and result-driven employees.

WE ARE SPECIALIZED:

We offer accounting, auditing, legal representation and financial consulting adapted to your business needs in Brazil, both in Portuguese and English languages. Our experience and methodology are drawn from the « Big 4 ». 

We are trilingual, multi-cultural, British qualified, and Brazilian qualified Chartered  Accountants, rigorous at work, and willing to develop an enduring relationship of trust to service your projects and business interests in Brazil.

We offer a strong and powerful experience in accounting and taxation, with deep knowledge and understanding of the complex regulatory framework in Brazil. 

All of our clients are international companies (European, North American and Asian) doing business in Brazil, mainly SMEs. All of them are willing to understand what makes Brazil different, how it works, or why it doesn’t always work perfectly. All of them want to comply with the laws, but still want to limit the tax burden whenever its possible, and avoid penalties for late payments, tax control and labor lawsuits. All of them want a contact person who can read and speak English, and a partner with a Western cultural background. All of them want to apply IFRS standards to their Brazilian operations (when it is relevant).

OUR DIFFERENTIALS:

  • We exclusively offer our services to international companies.
  • We have an international background, therefore we understand your needs.
  • We are specialized, therefore we have experience.
  • We come from the « Big 4 » and offer the highest quality standard.
  • We anticipate, we inform, we alert, we advise.

Because you are an international company looking for professional accounting, financial consulting, legal representation and auditing services in Brazil,
Because Brazil is different from any other country where you operate,
Because you want in Brazil the same STANDARD OF QUALITY and reactiveness that you receive in your home country,
Because some of our clients also experienced the same issues you are facing and we know what decision to take.
