Who I work with

If any of this is your situation.

The specific cases I take on, where my expertise lies. If you recognise yourself in one of these, we should talk.

Case 01 A clean and defensible crypto filing.

Positions across multiple platforms and chains. The post-2023 Portuguese regime and MiCA are now baseline; your declaration needs both built in.

Case 02 Tax relocation.

Pre-move tax positioning, exit-tax timing, NHR or IFICI eligibility, and the residency calendar to plan against. The destination chosen with the rules already mapped.

Case 03 VAT for companies and ecommerce.

Portuguese and EU VAT for service companies, retailers, and ecommerce operators. IOSS, OSS, intra-EU sales, customs and Portuguese filings, all inside one structure.

Case 04 When your case doesn't fit into a category.

Cross-border income, complex holdings, family transitions, founders compensated in tokens, inheritances with foreign assets. The situations that do not fit into a category and need to be thought through in writing, not answered from a template.

Every month I turn down clients I would have liked to work with.

If your situation is here, book the call before I close the book for the quarter.
