The problem
Many companies have accounting that satisfies the SAT, Mexico’s tax authority, but tells them nothing.
Financial statements that arrive late, taxes paid with no strategy and errors that only surface when an audit comes. Well-kept books do the opposite: they warn you in time, show you where the money goes and let you decide with real numbers.
A company that imports or exports lives between two systems: customs and tax. Pedimentos, VAT paid at customs, invoices in dollars and exchange rates all have to match what’s in the books.
When they don’t, problems follow: VAT that can’t be credited, credit balances no one recovers and discrepancies the SAT detects by cross-checking customs data against your tax returns.

Frequently asked questions
Is the VAT I pay on imports creditable?
As a general rule, yes, as long as it's supported by a pedimento in your company's name and meets the legal requirements. We keep track of it so that VAT isn't lost.
How do you record transactions in dollars?
Using the exchange rate required under tax rules and NIF, and recognizing the foreign exchange gains or losses each transaction generates.
Do you work with SMEs or only with large companies?
Both. We tailor the service to the size and complexity of your operation, from growing businesses to large corporations.
What if my accounting is behind?
We start with an assessment to identify what's missing: records, returns or pending payments. From there we build a plan to get you up to date and regularize your standing with the SAT.
How are your fees set?
They depend on your transaction volume and your company's obligations. After the assessment we send you a clear proposal, with no surprise charges.
What sets you apart from a traditional accounting firm?
Every client is served directly by partners and senior specialists, with directors certified by the IMCP (Mexican Institute of Public Accountants) and Big 4 experience. And your accounting doesn't stop at compliance: we use it to spot savings and risks.
