EMPLOYER OF RECORD IN BRAZIL – EOR

BPC Partners EOR (Employer of Record) solution makes it easy for you to expand business in Brazil without setting up a subsidiary unit in the nation.

The best part is, you can scale up your business without setting up a subsidiary unit in the nation. Our in-country experts will also manage taxation and compliances for you. With EOR, you avoid the legal services necessary to set up a company in Brazil, and the fees for an Attorney in fact and a local CEO/Administrator (legal conditions in Brazil).

Mandatory employee health benefits in Brazil include medical and dental care, lump-sum death benefits, pensions, and retirement plans, and maternity and paternity leaves.

Rather than investing time in understanding the confusing and complex labor laws, compensation, and benefits mandates in Brazil, it is advisable to collaborate with a local payroll provider like BPC Partners. Our team based in Brazil is made up of Brazilians and foreigners, and all can speak English to have a smooth onboarding process and reply to all questions within 24h max.

OVERVIEW ON LABOR ENVIRONMENT IN BRAZIL

Labor law is governed by a code called the CLT ("Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho"). The INSS (National Institute of Social Security) manages the pension system and social security.

Labor Law Code
24H
Max Response Time

Social law is highly developed in Brazil. Although it is quite easy to dismiss an employee in Brazil (certainly easier than in most countries of continental Europe), regulations grant employees many rights of appeal. Thus, there are nearly 2 million lawsuits filed before the Labor Court each year.

On the other hand, staff turnaround is very high compared to Western standards, this being rather part of Brazilian culture than just the result of macro-economic factors.

EOR Services Include:

  • Employer of Record in Brazil
  • Full compliance with Brazilian labor laws (CLT)
  • Payroll management and administration
  • Employee onboarding and offboarding
  • Health benefits management (medical & dental)
  • Social security (INSS) compliance
  • Taxation and compliance management
  • 24/7 English-speaking support

"Our EOR service allows international companies to hire employees in Brazil without establishing a legal entity, ensuring full compliance with local labor laws while avoiding complex legal setup procedures."

CREDIT

Accessing credit is extremely difficult in Brazil even for well-established companies – and even then the big retail banks will normally dictate terms that are onerous at best. If you require access to credit our knowledge and relationships within the credit market can connect you to the most reliable and reasonable players here in Brazil.

BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL CONSULTING IN BRAZIL

Financial consulting services for international companies operating in Brazil.

PART-TIME CFO

Businesses require expertise and experience to drive profitable, sustainable growth. As your Part-time CFO, we identify new growth strategies and provide methods to reduce costs to improve your business' profitability, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time CFO.

BUDGETING AND BUDGET MONITORING

Budgeting helps you spend less than you earn. It shows you where your spending weaknesses are and provides the framework for strengthening those areas.

Your local CEO in Brazil cannot spend too much time on accounting and taxes. The CEO must develop the business; therefore, a Financial Consultant will be the best solution to get things done perfectly at a low cost.

ORGANIZATION

We offer Business and Financial Consulting in Brazil for data and assessment methods for individuals, teams and organizations. From operational processes to corporate governance.

MANAGEMENT CONTROL

BPC Partners advise companies in relation to their efforts in achieving their objectives and their strategic, financial and operational goals: risk management, business process analysis, optimization of the organization, development of management control indicators.

INTERNAL CONTROLS: When you implement internal control components into your management strategy, you not only deter fraudulent behavior, you help improve the overall quality of your financial statements, which could result in improved transparency, fewer external audit findings, not to mention additional growth and sustainability.

COST CUTTING

Cost cutting refers to measures implemented by a company to reduce its expenses and improve profitability. Cost cutting measures may include laying off employees, reducing employee pay, switching to less expensive employee health insurance, downsizing to a smaller office, lowering monthly bill amounts, changing working hours and restructuring debt.

LEGAL REPRESENTATION IN BRAZIL

Legal representation services for international companies operating in Brazil.

Opening Message from the Management: Pay attention to the Corporate Income Tax (CIT) regime of your Brazilian entity. Every year, in January, you can decide which CIT regime you will apply: REAL or PRESUMIDO. The impact on your annual result can be very significant.

LEGAL REPRESENTATION OF STAKEHOLDERS, ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

When doing business in Brazil, a foreign company must permanently maintain a legal representative with powers to sign on behalf of the foreign partners, solve issues related to the business, respond in a legal capacity, and receive summons on behalf of the company overseas.

This appointed legal representative does not necessarily have to be a Brazilian, nor is a Brazilian partner required. However, if the legal representative is a foreigner he/she must be resident and domiciled in Brazil with a permanent visa.

LEGAL REPRESENTATION OF YOUR BRAZILIAN SUBSIDIARY

The Brazilian « Administrador »

The CEO/General Manager (Administrador in Portuguese) of your company must be an individual with permanent residence. We can take on this responsibility; however, it must remain non-operational. It can be short-term in case your soon to be CEO is in the process of getting a permanent visa, or long-term in case you do not have an expat to manage your local company and wish to have a trustworthy professional to control and secure your operations in Brazil.

The Administrador may be, but does not have to be a shareholder. The shareholders, who may attribute a specific designation to the Administrador, make his appointment. The manager's roles and responsibilities are set forth in applicable legislation and the company's articles of association.

LEGAL HEADQUARTERS FOR COMPANIES

A prestigious address in downtown São Paulo, or in Rio de Janeiro.

If your company sells services, it can be officially based out of our addresses in São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro (Industrial and Commercial/Trading companies must have their own address and cannot share a common address).

BOOKKEEPING

Production of monthly Financial Statements, according to the Brazilian standards and possibly the IFRS (only a very limited number of companies must apply IFRS in Brazil, however if you have significant operations in Brazil, you will apply IFRS to your local company).

TAX STATEMENTS

Regardless of your company's activity, you will need to issue various monthly tax statements. Federal taxes and ICMS are subject to monthly disclosures, failing to do so is sanctioned by fines. BPC Partners will take on that responsibility.

TAX CALCULATION (MONTHLY, QUARTERLY AND YEARLY)

Brazil is ranked among the top 10 most difficult tax systems. The first and most important tax decision you will make is selecting the correct tax regime (Real, Presumido or Simples). BPC Partners can help you with that.

PAYROLL MANAGEMENT

On top of issuing payment slips, calculating social charges and withholding income tax, BPC Partners will organize the hiring of new employees. In addition, we help in selecting the most tax efficient legal form of paying employees and managers (CLT contract, Pro-labore, legal entity etc.)

PREPARATION OF OFFICIAL PERIODIC ACCOUNTS

The law requires the electronic filing of all accounting entries through a system called SPED. In addition, a yearly General Assembly within four months of the closing date is required.

REPORTING THROUGH YOUR GROUP TEMPLATE IN ENGLISH: Our staff can transform Brazilian accounts into your Group template, in English, and add some comments. When the local CEO wants to save time to focus on developing the business, we take on the responsibility. Numbers are verified and controlled on a monthly basis.

FILING NECESSARY INFORMATION AND RECORDS WITH THE LOCAL AND FEDERAL AUTHORITIES

Among other things, financial statements and general ledgers will be signed by a qualified accountant and filed with the authorities.
