The challenge.

What the client came to us with.

A Madrid software company with forty staff won its first large British customer and needed a UK entity within two months. Its books were kept by a local gestoría, quarterly and in Spanish only.

The work, in the order we did it.

One file for two companies

We set up a UK subsidiary, moved both entities to the same accounting software and agreed a single monthly close with one chart of accounts.

Two VAT systems, one calendar

Spanish IVA and UK VAT returns are prepared by the same team, with intercompany invoices checked before each quarter ends.
