A typical day in a Spanish Public Administration office. Even though of course the situation has been exaggerated (only slightly!), it is not too far from the truth. Enjoy watching “Citizen vs. Public Servant”…

Common Questions

Do I need to be registered as autónomo before we start?
How often will I need to file declarations?
What if my business is very small or a side venture?
Can you handle payroll if I hire staff?

No. We handle the registration process for you. In fact, many clients come to us before they are officially registered.

Most declarations are typically filed on a quarterly basis, however, depending on the tax system you are registered under, certain tax forms must be filed monthly. In any case, we manage the schedule and filings and remind you of deadlines. 

The obligation to register as autónomo (self-employed) is based on habitual economic activity, not your income level. We'll clarify your specific situation in the initial consultation and move forward from there.

Yes. Labour procedures including contracts and payroll are managed separately when you hire employees.

What Do My Clients Say?

I have worked with Sabrina for a good few years and even though I am based in Ireland, we have developed a fantastic working relationship. She manages my Spanish company affairs and properties and I feel confident to leave matters in her more than capable hands. Sabrina helps me feel at ease by updating me regularly, maintaining excellent communication at all times so I always know exactly where I stand and she goes above and beyond what I expect of her. I am more than happy to recommend her to others after the excellent service I have received myself.
