About Xterna

Based in Barcelona since 1996, this outsourcing-oriented consultancy serves small and mid-sized companies as well as subsidiaries of multinational groups. Its multidisciplinary team combines economists, auditors, tax advisers, lawyers and labour specialists, and the firm positions itself as a business-process outsourcing provider covering tax, accounting, payroll and corporate matters under one roof. It supports clients in Spanish, Catalan, English and French and says it can coordinate work across partner firms in more than fifty countries for businesses that operate abroad. The firm uses cloud ERP and management platforms, including an official software partnership, and takes part in a regional investment-promotion agency's partner network. Its pitch is aimed mainly at companies already trading in Spain or expanding from Barcelona rather than at individuals relocating to the country.
