We put your numbers in order
We gather what already exists, bring the backlog current and leave the accounting at a clean starting point. If you came from another accountant, I handle the transition.

We file on time
A tax calendar built around your dates. I warn you ahead of every deadline, prepare the return and file it within the window.
04
You decide with data
Every month you get financial statements plus a report in plain language. And during the month you ask whatever you need, with no per-question charge.
Who keeps your books
Lic. Michael Castro V.
Incorporated Private Accountant, CPI No. 40365, based in San Carlos, Alajuela. I work directly with the business owner, with no intermediate layers and no account executives rotating every six months.
My work starts where the disorder ends: loose receipts, last-minute filings and the feeling that you never really know how the business is doing. Sorting that out is the easy part. The value comes after, once the numbers can be read and used to decide.

What passes through my hands stays there. No exceptions and no fine print.

Doctors, lawyers, architects and consultants invoicing for services who want to stop improvising with the tax authority.
- 03
Founders starting out
You don't yet know which regime to register under or what will be required. It gets defined on day one and done properly.
- 04

Frequently asked
What everyone asks before starting
Do you serve clients outside San Carlos?
Yes. I work in person across the Northern Zone and remotely with clients throughout Costa Rica. Documents are sent digitally and meetings happen over video call or WhatsApp, so distance does not change the service.
What do I need to get started?
Your national or corporate ID number, access to your taxpayer profile, and whatever prior accounting you have, even if incomplete. With that I review your real situation and tell you what needs catching up before the monthly rhythm begins.
How much does it cost?
It depends on transaction volume, your tax regime and whether there is a backlog to resolve. That is why the first conversation is free: I look at your operation first and then give you a concrete figure, not a list price that changes later.
What is the difference between a Private Accountant and a Certified Public Accountant?
An Incorporated Private Accountant keeps your books, prepares and files your returns and issues proof of income letters. A Certified Public Accountant additionally holds public attestation authority for external audits and financial statement certifications. If your case needs that, I flag it upfront.
Can I switch accountants mid-year?
Yes, and it is more common than it sounds. I receive the information from the previous accountant, verify that what was filed is correct and pick up from there. If I find something outstanding, we resolve it before moving on.
What if the tax authority sends me a request?
I handle the response with you. I review what is being asked, assemble the corresponding documentary backing and prepare the reply within the deadline. It is not something you face alone.
Do I have to be invoicing electronically?
If you are registered as a taxpayer under the traditional regime, yes. If you are not doing it yet or do not know how, that is part of what we sort out in the first weeks.
