Services

Company incorporation support runs from planning to execution and covers the legal formalities. Accounting includes financial accounting for companies and a simplified regime for small businesses, with compliance checks on tax rules. Administrative management, payroll processing and personal and corporate income tax submissions are offered, together with tax representation covering personal income tax and VAT. The firm also mentions training development and financial and tax consulting. Work follows a five-step process: discovery, custom planning, execution, assessment and adjustment, and ongoing support, with meetings scheduled on request.
