  • The financial statements arrive late

    He makes decisions without knowing for sure how he closed the previous month.

  • The payroll depends on a single person

    Each vacation or resignation puts at risk the timely payment and compliance with the CCSS and the Treasury.

  • Customers pay late

    Billing and collection are handled manually, and cash takes a long time to arrive.

  • Supplier invoices are piling up

    There is no clear process for approval, registration, and payment, and the closure is being delayed.

I highly recommend ICS - the best law firm that I've experienced in Costa Rica hands down. Their team is highly professional, trustworthy, and responsive. Francisco is the team leader - he's direct and extraordinarily knowledgeable; he has a knack for developing intelligible solutions to complex tax issues. We are fortunate and grateful to have ICS in our corner for almost 20 years.

We have always had an amazing experience with Francisco Villalobos and the ICS team. They are extremely resourceful and knowledgable, and they always go the extra mile to find creative solutions to complex issues. Working with them doesn't feel like working with an external law firm, it feels more like working with a true partner.
