Accounting Services

Costa Rica Offshore Business Center offers a complete range of bookkeeping, accounting and auditing services. We provide financial planning, tax administration and business consulting

1. General bookkeeping services

For many small and medium sized companies, keeping up-to-date and organized accounting records is a hassle and often not worth hiring a full-time clerk that is not very organized anyway.

For those companies we can provide bookkeeping services at low cost. You can bring in your invoices, receipts and all financial documents and we will give them back in the most organized fashion you can image.

Additionally, we offer clients an online bookkeeping and accounting platform that allows you to review every single sale or purchase invoice and generate balances and other custom reports online.

2. Tax administration

We perform the following standard legal requirements regarding tax administration:

By default, the accounting year in Costa Rica starts Oct. 1 and ends Sept. 30. To close the accounting or fiscal year, a company must submit an income tax declaration and a record of customers and providers (Form D-151).
Most companies have to submit a monthly IVI (sales tax) declaration. We audit your sales tax records, set up the official sales tax declaration for you to sign and we submit it to tax authorities.
Each company receives several official accounting books: `Diario`, `Mayor` and `Inventario y Balances`. Each of these has to be kept up to date with no more than 3 months delay. We can update your accounting books.
Once a year, a company has to pay an educational and cultural tax. This is a very small amount.
Each company has to have monthly balances in the `Inventario y balances` accounting book. We can make monthly balances or with any other frequency you wish.

See our Fee Schedule for prices.

3. Financial planning

Managing a business can be a difficult task for both foreigners that come to a new unknown market or for locals that lack formal management training.

Many small business owners wait too long to seek advise when confronted with less than expected return. As many people, business owners feel embarrassed to admit failure.

We provide financial planning for small and mid sized companies. Financial planning can be a strategic element of your decision making. We can help you plan cash, minimize cost and analyze your market potential. We can assist you with your business development in a difficult market.
