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.

"ICS in Costa Rica has been an incredible partner for our business, providing outstanding CPA, payroll, and legal support. Without their expertise and guidance, navigating the complexities of operating in Costa Rica would have been a real challenge. A special thanks to Managing Director Francisco Villalobos, Account Manager Helena, and the entire team for their leadership and dedication. Their professionalism and insight have been key to our continued success and growth in the region. We are truly grateful for this amazing group and look forward to continuing this successful partnership. Thank you, Team ICS!" Signed, John Jackson Vice President of Operations Strand Costa SRL

What we are asked most about business consulting

What is a corporate reorganization?

Reply

It is the redesign of the structure of a group, for example through mergers, splits or new entities, to operate more efficiently, with less risk and with an appropriate tax burden.

Is reducing the tax burden legal?

Reply

Yes, when it is done by correctly applying the current regulations. All our proposals are designed in strict compliance with the law.

When is it advisable to plan fiscal closure?

Reply

At the beginning of the period. Many decisions that reduce the tax burden are no longer applicable at the end of the year.

How is it different from a tax diagnosis?

Reply

The strategic fiscal diagnosis identifies risks and opportunities; business consulting designs and implements structural changes.
