Who this page is for

Built for companies, not individual cases.

If you are moving to Uruguay yourself, working remotely or opening your own one-person activity, our accountant-for-expats page is the better starting point. This one is for organisations.

  1. A foreign company opening in Uruguay

    You are setting up a Uruguayan subsidiary, branch or local vehicle and need an accounting and tax contact on this side from day one.

  2. A company already operating here

    You have a Uruguayan entity and are reviewing who handles its company accounting, tax compliance and payroll going forward.

  3. An accounting, tax or law firm abroad

    Your client has activity, an entity or an obligation in Uruguay and you need a local correspondent for the Uruguayan side of the case.

  4. A group preparing for an audit

    Your head office or external auditor needs Uruguayan accounting records and supporting documentation prepared and reviewed on this side.

What we cover

Corporate accounting, tax consulting and structuring, under one roof.

Ongoing corporate services

  • Corporate bookkeeping and monthly filings
  • Tax advisory and DGI/BPS compliance
  • Payroll and social security for local staff
  • Invoicing and supporting records

Setup, structuring and audit-readiness

Scope, deliverables and fees are agreed in writing before we start, case by case; nothing here is a fixed package.

The Uruguayan side of the engagement

What we handle in Uruguay, and what stays with your own auditor or adviser abroad.

What we handle in Uruguay

  • DGI and BPS registrations and filings
  • Uruguayan bookkeeping and corporate accounting
  • Company registration and structuring
  • Preparation and review of records for audit purposes
  • Review of the Uruguayan tax treatment of the group's activity

What remains with your own auditor or adviser

  • The audit opinion itself, when one is required by your group or head office
  • Tax returns and filings outside Uruguay
  • Advice under your home country's own rules
  • Group consolidation and reporting owed to another country

If it helps, we prepare the information your firm, your head office or your external auditor needs from the Uruguayan side.

How an engagement starts

Three steps before anything is committed.

  1. Tell us about the company

    Structure, activity, where it is registered today (if anywhere) and what needs to be reviewed or handled from Uruguay.

  2. Agree what the work covers

    Ongoing accounting, a setup project, or a defined review ahead of an audit. No fee or outcome promised before we have seen the facts.

  3. Get it in writing

    Who does what, the information we will need, what you receive and what it costs, confirmed before we begin.

Questions we hear first

Frequently asked questions

Do you work with companies, not only individuals?

Yes. Alongside individual clients, we work directly with companies, Uruguayan subsidiaries of foreign groups, and professional firms that need a local accounting, tax or audit-preparation contact in Uruguay.

Can you act as the Uruguayan correspondent for our firm or our client’s advisers abroad?

Yes. We handle the Uruguayan side of the engagement and share the information your firm or your client’s advisers need from here; filings and advice under another country’s law stay with them.

Do you provide audit support for a Uruguayan subsidiary?

We prepare and review Uruguayan accounting records, tax filings and supporting documentation so a company’s books are ready for a group or external audit. Write to us with the details of the engagement and we will tell you what we can take on.

How is this different from your page for expats moving to Uruguay?

This page is for companies, subsidiaries and professional firms. Our accountant-for-expats page is for individuals moving to Uruguay, working remotely or opening their own company; if your situation is personal rather than corporate, that page is the better starting point.

Sources and scope

What this page is based on

Reference date, sources reviewed and what this page is not.

Sources and scope. This page reflects Uruguay’s general tax and accounting framework as of September 2026, reviewed against IMPO, DGI and BPS. It is information, not advice on a particular case: the services available for a given company depend on its structure, activity and documentation, reviewed case by case. This page describes preparation and review of accounting records ahead of an audit; it does not represent that the firm issues audit opinions as principal auditor in every case, which is confirmed directly, engagement by engagement.

Getting started

Tell us about your company’s situation.

A short message is enough: the structure, what stage you are at, and what you need reviewed or handled from Uruguay. We will tell you whether it is something we can take on and what the next step would be.
