How it works

From first contact to first close

No boilerplate proposal. The diagnosis comes before the price, because the price depends on what we find.

Day 0
30-minute diagnosis

We map where you are a tax resident, which entities exist in each country and what has and has not been filed. Free, no commitment.
Day 1 to 3
Written tax plan

You get a document with your current position, the open risks, what needs to be brought current and what it costs. In plain language.
Week 1 to 2
Onboarding and catch-up

We take over, organise documentation on both sides, and start with whatever has a deadline or a penalty already running.
Ongoing
One team, two calendars

Monthly close, deadline alerts ahead of every due date in both countries, and a named lead you know by name.

Frequently asked

What people ask before hiring

Do I still have to file in Brazil if I already live in the United States?

It depends entirely on your tax residency, not your address. Until the Communication and the Declaration of Definitive Departure are filed, Receita Federal still considers you a resident and your worldwide income stays taxable in Brazil. Once the departure is properly filed, only Brazilian-source income remains taxable there.

I have a US LLC and live in Brazil. How is that taxed?

A single-member LLC is disregarded for US federal tax purposes, so the result is taxed at the member level. For Receita Federal, profit made available to a Brazilian resident is taxable in Brazil, and you must also report the holding to the central bank above the annual threshold. The correct treatment depends on how the entity was classified at formation, and that is the first thing we review.

Is there a tax treaty between Brazil and the United States?

There is no comprehensive income tax treaty between the two countries. There is reciprocity of treatment recognised by Receita Federal, which allows US tax paid to be offset against Brazilian tax within limits, and there is the Foreign Tax Credit on the US side. Applying that correctly is the difference between paying once and paying twice.

Can you take on prior years that are overdue?

Yes. Bringing back years current is a substantial part of what we do, both late Brazilian returns and US returns and information filings. The diagnosis includes an inventory of what is open and an estimate of exposure before you decide to proceed.

Which languages do you work in?

Portuguese, English and Spanish, with the same team. Official documents are delivered in the language each tax authority requires, together with an explanation in yours.

How much does it cost?

Pricing comes out of the free diagnosis, because it depends on how many jurisdictions you have, how many filings are open and what your monthly volume is. The final figure comes out of the free diagnosis and is agreed in writing before anything is charged, with no mid-year surprises.
