Accounting, tax compliance, tax refunds, preventive planning and business management. For SMEs, foreign investors and professionals who want to make decisions based on data, not intuition.
Properly kept accounting is not just complying with the tax authority (SRI). It is knowing, in numbers, whether the business is profitable, whether cash flow can hold the next three months, whether unit cost is what you think, whether receivables are healthy. Most SMEs keep accounting "to file," not to decide.
At Clarté Business we do both. We meet every tax and regulatory obligation with absolute discipline, and at the same time we deliver management information you can actually use to make decisions. When a case requires legal defense, SRI assessment, administrative appeals, tax court, Clarté Legal joins the work from day one.
Each area follows its own methodology while connected to the integrated monthly close. Click each to see how we work.
Each industry has its own accounting complexities. These are the technical cases we most often solve by sector.
Trading and distribution companies handle volumes that overwhelm manual accounting processes. Their critical points: electronic voucher reconciliation, withholdings received and correct application of tax credit in filings.
Construction companies face technical complexity in recognizing revenue from works in progress. Booking completed-contract when the percentage-of-completion method applies distorts results, defers taxes incorrectly and weakens financials for banking.
Consultancies, agencies and professional firms accumulate 8% and 10% withholdings on fees that often go unapplied. Additionally, partners often don't use the personal tax planning available under regulations.
Manufacturers handle complex inventories (raw materials, work-in-process, finished goods) and exporters accumulate recoverable VAT that often goes unclaimed. Correct valuation under IFRS and proper export documentation are the difference between leaving money on the table or not.
Startups that receive investment face specific accounting challenges: correct classification of contributions vs. loans, capitalization of research and development costs under IAS 38 / IFRS for SMEs Section 18, and formalization before the Superintendence of Companies to avoid future contingencies.
Professionals with accumulated wealth and foreign investments have specific tax obligations they often don't fully leverage or keep current. Deductible personal expenses, accumulated withholdings, foreign investment reporting and lease structuring are the most common points.
