Business overview

Libertiavança Lda, headed by K Cilliers, is an IT consultancy firm which focuses on video game development and software engineering. K Cilliers, originally from South Africa, has brought his expertise to Portugal, where he has established a business.

Problem statement

K Cilliers shared when he first moved to Portugal, he was recommended to a Portuguese accountancy firm because “…they were cheap and I was in need of an accountant due to the work going on inside and outside of the country. However, this arrangement quickly proved problematic.”

In his own words, K Cilliers explained he didn’t understand too much during the initial setup but, “I came to find out I was paying for loads of things which had no explanation, and I couldn’t easily communicate with the accountancy team properly; due to a language barrier.”

It became evident that the low-cost services were leading to poor-quality advice, leaving K Cillier’s business growth and tax optimisation needs unmet.

Solution and results

In search of a more effective solution, K Cilliers carried out a simple Google search for English-speaking accountants in Portugal and found RHJ Accountants. After speaking with several firms, K Cilliers chose RHJ for their organised approach and broader focus beyond Portuguese tax laws.

Since partnering with RHJ Accountants two years ago, K Cilliers has experienced significant improvements. His dedicated accountant, Flávio, has provided invaluable assistance; “If I want to change or reduce something, Flávio is always ready with ideas and what the possible options are”. The ease of phone communication has also proven advantageous; “I appreciate the support I get here, reducing the potential for misunderstandings common in email exchanges and accountancy jargon I don’t always understand.”

Client endorsement

I would recommend RHJ – especially Flávio to anyone.”; this underscores the trust and satisfaction with the services provided. 

From the initial meeting with RHJ, K Cilliers appreciated the transparency in service breakdowns, costs, and expectations. This level of clarity has been a consistent feature of his experience with his dedicated corporate tax team within RHJ Accountants.

“Overall RHJ Accountants have been so good to me, as I said, I would definitely recommend; they have contributed to the success of Libertiavança Lda by providing reliable, comprehensive, and clear financial advice tailored to the unique needs of myself and the business.”

K Cillier’s experience stands as a testament to the positive impact that effective accounting support can have on a business’s growth and stability.
