About PBS (Professional BookKeeping Services)

Based in Madrid and Barcelona, PBS provides outsourced accounting, tax and payroll administration, with a clear emphasis on foreign groups that run a subsidiary in Spain. It acts as a local back office for headquarters abroad, preparing monthly reporting in group formats, adapting statements to US GAAP or IFRS and issuing annual accounts in other languages. The firm is a founding member of an international association of independent accounting and payroll firms with members in over twenty-five countries, which it uses to coordinate work for clients expanding beyond Spain. Technology and life-science businesses are named among its typical clients. Services extend to tax representation for companies without a permanent establishment, non-resident withholding tax returns and payroll for seconded workers and expatriates. The site is available in English and Spanish, and the firm describes its team as multilingual without listing specific languages.
