Nearshoring has brought Jalisco a steady flow of corporations that need to operate in Mexico without knowing the local regulatory framework. The costliest mistake at this stage is incorporating with a structure that later proves inefficient or incompatible with the planned intercompany transactions.
We support the whole process from before incorporation: we review the group's corporate structure, the treaty between Mexico and the home country, and the intended operating model, in order to recommend the right legal form and tax regime.
Once the entity is incorporated, we take on day-to-day compliance: accounting under the standard head office requires, payroll and social security, monthly and annual returns, and transfer pricing documentation for related-party transactions.
Legal, tax, accounting and payroll in one firm, with no need to coordinate three separate providers.
Financial information in the format and standard the group requires, in English where needed.
We set transfer pricing before intercompany transactions begin.

When the SAT restricts a digital seal certificate, the business stops: without CFDI there is no invoicing, and without invoicing there is no collection. These proceedings run on short, strict deadlines, so the response must be properly grounded from the outset.
Our team combines accounting and legal training within the same firm, avoiding the usual problem of coordinating an accountant and a lawyer who do not share the file. Our managing partner is both a Certified Public Accountant and an attorney, registered to issue statutory reports before the SAT.
We handle the entire process: from the administrative clarification provided for in article 17-H Bis of the Federal Tax Code through to the administrative appeal and annulment proceedings before the Federal Administrative Justice Court once the administrative route is exhausted.
Deadlines in seal restriction cases run in business days; we treat these matters as a priority.

Mexico's anti-money laundering law imposes obligations on those carrying out so-called vulnerable activities: real estate developers, vehicle dealers, professional service providers, notaries, pawnshops and other sectors.
Many companies are unaware they fall under these obligations until they receive a formal request. Penalties for missed filings are high and accrue for each filing not made, so accumulated non-compliance can reach significant amounts.
We assess whether the company actually carries out vulnerable activities and under which thresholds, implement the compliance manual, compile client identification files and submit filings on time.
We determine precisely whether your activity falls under the law and at which filing thresholds.
Where filings have been missed, we assess how to bring them up to date before a formal request arrives.
We take on the monthly filings and the safekeeping of documentation.
Specific experience with developers, where the filing threshold is triggered frequently.
