CPA Corporate Services

About CPA Corporate Services

Operating from Barcelona and Madrid, this consultancy combines accounting, tax, legal and labour advice with corporate administration for businesses entering or running operations in Spain. The firm states that over half of its clients are foreign companies and multinationals, and it has built a particular specialism in Spanish foreign-securities holding companies (ETVE), positioning Spain as a bridge between Europe, Latin America and the United States. The team is small, made up of a lawyer-partner, a corporate finance economist, an auditor-trained consultant and an international tax adviser, with Italian, Spanish, Catalan and English among the working languages. It is a supporting member of the Italian community institutions in Barcelona and of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Italy, and its website is available in English, Italian and Spanish.
