What changes when
the numbers speak your language
You choose the structure before you register
A single-member limited company (Unipessoal Lda.) or a limited company with two or more partners (Lda.), resident or non-resident partners: we explain the tax and accounting consequences of each option, before you decide. Our partner lawyer handles the legal steps.
The State's portals stop being a wall
NIF (Portuguese tax number), Tax Authority password, registration of activity, Social Security. We handle the requests for you and stay with you in the ones only you can authenticate.
A letter from the Tax Authority stops being a problem
We read it, explain in your language what it asks for and by when, and deal with anything that only calls for a clarification or for documents to be sent.
You decide with the numbers in front of you
We help you read the financial information and see what deserves attention. Explained in English or Spanish, with no guessing at what a term means.
Paper stops slowing you down
We favour sharing documents digitally, so the company stays organised wherever you are.
You stop deciding alone
We agree the right level of support with you and keep in regular contact to prepare the next steps. Your accounts are under the responsibility of Marisa Santos, Certified Accountant, with a specialisation in International Tax Law.
Distance stops counting
Remote support across Portugal, meetings by video call and offices in Leiria and Pombal. A close relationship, even from far away.

Situations we deal with every day, told from start to finish
Real caseVocational education01
The team managed projects it could not read in the accounts
- The challenge
- ETP Sicó had projects under way and a team managing them day to day, but without a shared way of reading the numbers, monitoring delivery and identifying risks before they turned into problems.
- What we did
- We delivered 90 hours of consultancy in financial management, control and risk, with Marisa Santos. The programme was adjusted along the way to the real projects of the organisation, and it left behind a Financial Management, Control and Risk Manual with the tools the team now uses.
- What changed
- In the final survey, the seven participants gave the consultancy the highest score and all of them said they now feel more confident in the development of the project.
CompanyRetail02
Sales went up every month and less and less was left over
- The challenge
- Turnover was growing, but the bank account was not keeping pace. The managers could not see where the margin was going.
- What we did
- We organised the information by product line and started analysing costs and margins with the managers, in regular meetings.
- What changed
- The company stopped selling the items that were making a loss and started deciding its purchases with the numbers in front of it.
CompanyServices03
They wanted to hire and did not know whether they could
- The challenge
- The team was at full stretch and there was work for one more person. What was missing was knowing whether cash flow could carry the cost over the year.
- What we did
- We calculated the full cost of the hire and its impact on cash flow, month by month, before the decision was made.
- What changed
- The hire went ahead with a set date and no surprises: the managers knew how much it would cost and when.
