Service: Provided personal income tax return assistance and property tax guidance
Tiago has been commendably attentive throughout the process. His responsiveness via email and WhatsApp, along with his readiness to clarify tax-related details, has been impressive. He is always willing to explain and make things very clear to me, which has made the entire experience straightforward and stress-free. Tiago’s command of both English and Portuguese has made my experience smooth and reassuring.

Service: Account for my company in the importation industry
As someone who has dealt with numerous accountants in the importation industry, I appreciate a partner who is both proactive and communicative. My account manager consistently offers well-explained reports and swift responses, even on Sundays. His expertise in navigating regulatory changes and providing tax-saving advice has been invaluable to my business, and I plan to stick with him for as long as he wants to be my accountant.

Service: Consulted with bank regarding special NHR status and IT return form.
Initially, I wasn't sure if I needed Gonçalo's services, but his professionalism during our initial discussion was impressive. When it turned out I did need his help, he handled everything with ease, especially when explaining our unique tax form situation to the bank. I was so satisfied that I recommended him to others, appreciating his fair pricing and thorough approach.

Service: Accounting services for your company
Pedro from ChâteauBIZ was a lifesaver for my business's accounting needs. His expertise in navigating the Portuguese system, which I was totally unfamiliar with, made all the difference. He really knows his stuff, especially when it comes to the nuances that expats face. What stood out to me was his readiness to respond via call or text, even on weekends – that level of service is just incredible. Honestly, I can't imagine how I would have managed without his help.

Service: Assisted with opening a self-employed account and submitting an IVA report
I was moving to Portugal and needed help setting up my self-employed account and managing finances, including NHR and IVA reports. Maria was so patient and eloquent, explaining all the legal steps and processes clearly in English, and gave me the tools to understand and do it myself. She was responsive, professional, and made everything easy and straightforward.
