They're available, responsive, and communicative. Their transparent workflow complemented the streamlined collaboration.  ""Availability is quite important to me, and I’ve never had any problems." " **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there. We’re the impact investment arm of a large family-run bank. I work in Brazil, and our company has offices in North America, India, Africa, Asia, and the United Kingdom. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with GESCON CONSULTORIA? They’re our outsourced accountants in Brazil, handling everything related to the local entity’s operations. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? GESCON CONSULTORA handles everything related to accounting and reporting. They connect with the group accountants to ensure that the IFRS is being followed. What is the team composition? I believe they have 5–6 people working for our business. How did you come to work with GESCON CONSULTORIA? When I came on board, they were already part of the business. As far as I know, GESCON CONSULTORA provided the best cost and benefits ratio for our company. At the time, my company wanted someone who could dedicate more of their time to the collaboration, who was more than just a well-known name in Brazil's accounting field. We were more concerned with getting a good service than a good name. How much have you invested with them? We’ve invested between $25,000–$50,000. What is the status of this engagement? I started with the company in November 2017, and I believe their team started that July or August. The collaboration is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? GESCON CONSULTORA is always available when we have a doubt, need an additional report, or want to change something. For me, it’s important to have someone available when I need them because that’s usually when we have a problem. We have to follow some rules on having third-party auditors, and we usually go to one of the big four firms in Brazil for this. During the three years that I’ve been here, they’ve become responsible for providing information to the final reports' auditors. I’m the one responsible for feeding information to them, so this has been a collaborative effort. The best evaluation I can give GESCON CONSULTORA is that none of the reports we’ve gotten from the auditors pointed out any problems. This means that they’re doing everything correctly. How did GESCON CONSULTORIA perform from a project management standpoint? We have straightforward communication through phone, email, and WhatsApp. The connection with the high-level people in the office is very easy. We’ve never had any issues with communication. I believe they’re using a local system required by the Brazilian authorities, but I don’t have access to it. What did you find most impressive about them? Availability is quite important to me, and I’ve never had any problems. GESCON CONSULTORA also stands out in terms of the accuracy of the information in the reports they send to our group accountants. --- #### Tax and Accounting Services **The Project** - Services: Accounting - Project size: $50,000 to $199,999 - Project length: Jan. 2019 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: GESCON CONSULTORIA provides accounting services.

" **BACKGROUND** Introduce your business and what you do there I am the CEO of a business solutions firm. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenges were you trying to address with GESCON CONSULTORIA? We expanded our services to Brazil and were looking for local companies that had experience working with international businesses to support our operation with accounting and back-office services. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement? We’re working with about four people for accounting and back-office services. How did you come to work with GESCON CONSULTORIA? I found them by searching online; they were on top of the search results. After some research, I found they had good references in Brazil, as well as extensive experience working with international companies, some of which are my clients. I asked them for references too and they were very well referred. They seemed like a great company to collaborate with. How much have you invested in them? We’ve spent about $1,000,000 USD per year. What is the status of this engagement? We started working with them in August 2018 and are continuing our collaboration. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? We’ve had great results and have been able to start operating in-country, which we haven’t been able to do before because it is pretty complicated. We have also started getting new clients and expect to experience fast growth in the country. How did GESCON CONSULTORIA perform from a project management standpoint? We have our own communications systems, and they have been able to adapt to that so we can receive information in a way that works for us. What did you find most impressive about them? In my experience, it’s very hard to establish a relationship with other similar companies in Brazil. With GESCON CONSULTORIA, however, we have been able to establish a solid relationship that has even developed into a friendship. I really trust that they are looking after our company’s best interests. Are there any areas they could improve? I would love it if they grew their services into human resources so that we could have everything in the same place. I believe that would be a great addition to their service offerings. --- ## Portfolio & Awards ### Business Services in Brazil Start-up in Brazil   Brazil is in the spotlight!
