What stays the same

Whatever your activity, this is how we work.

The page changes, not who looks after you or how we work.

  1. A real firm

    A family accounting firm since 1993, with two registered public accountants (CCEAU 61148 and 225636) and the firm’s own notary public.

  2. Only the Uruguayan side

    We advise only on Uruguay. Whatever depends on another country is handled by your adviser there; we provide the Uruguayan information.

  3. Written, confidential report

    If we start with a diagnostic, the report arrives in writing, confidentially, within 3 to 5 business days of receiving your complete information.

  4. In La Barra or remotely

    We work from La Barra and remotely, and the report is always in writing.

Each activity page cites its official sources: IMPO (opens in a new tab), DGI (opens in a new tab) and BPS (opens in a new tab).

Who handles your case

Two registered public accountants, one point of contact.

Your case is handled by a partner of the firm, with complete discretion. If a company needs to be formed, the notary public is the firm’s own.

We work mainly in writing, in your language. Write in English: we reply in English and your report is delivered in English. Calls are also possible.
