sorting out tax in the bank for a none resident

I approached taxbordr to help sort out the tax at the my bank in Portugal as a foreigner. It wasn't an easy task - Carol and Telmo did everything by the book and then when there was no response, Carol had a plan B and a plan C - until it got sorted out. Always explaining the challenges but also taking the next step towards solution.

Finally a good and reliable accounting team for expats in Portugal!

I've been working with Telmo, Carol, and the team at Taxbordr for a few months, and my only regret is not starting sooner. After dealing with several unreliable accountants, I found Telmo's services online. From our first interaction, it was clear that he knows his stuff and provides excellent advice. I especially appreciated how he took the time to understand my situation BEFORE suggesting a solution—something my previous accountants failed to do. I’ve now subscribed to Taxbordr’s services long-term, which allows me to reach out to their team for advice and questions anytime. They handle my taxes, and now I can focus on my business without the stress.

Best advisors and service

I would be at a massive loss without the guidance, expertise, and support of Taxbordr's team. Filing taxes can never be truly easy, especially when it comes to filing in two countries (Portugal and US) as this navigation can be very complex for the less-experienced. I am beyond happy and thankful for the team's services in taking care of my filing obligations et al ... constant availability for enquiries, thorough, easy to manage, and I know I will entrust my tax filing needs etc. to the team here.

Very knowledgable Tax Advisor with common sense

I had a difficult and extensive tax situation to handle and was searching for a tax advisor where I had no need to go to Lisbon several times or have constant meetings and calls, since my free time is very limited. Already 2 hours after reaching out over a chat function ( on a Sunday! ), Telmo answered me very friendly and professional and wanted to gather more information about the issue and already a few days later he presented me a draft of an invoice about the discussed amount and was ready to do his magic. Telmo and Carol were constantly working on my case I had the impression since they provided me permanent feedback and also I could see the first results very soon. After not even 2 months the majority of my requests were handled with a positive outcome. During this time I always had the feeling that both of them were eager to answer my questions and to find the best and not the fastest resolution if necessary. One process is still ongoing and I can see, that they are working hard on resolving this as well for good and never give up, just because it would be convinient. And the best thing, we handled everything via Email, I never had to worry about extensive meetings and calls and every contact was happening with utmost friendly politeness and professionalism. If you need a tax advisor company where you have to give minimum effort but get maximum outcome, Telmo and TAXBORDR is the right one for you! My highest appreciation to Telmo and Carol and I am looking forward to the last task finished 😊 Tatjana Sobota

Professional, thorough, and efficient service

I reached out to Telmo for assistance in obtaining acceptance for the NHR tax regime for myself and my husband. Telmo and his colleague Carol took care of not only submitting the two applications, but also prerequisite items like removing a prior fiscal representation entity, and getting the tax authority to update our fiscal address. They accomplished all of these things promptly, and kept me informed at each step. I was impressed with the professionalism and thoroughness they both brought to their work. They also explain topics well and are kind people. I would highly recommend working with Telmo and his team, and look forward to using their services again.

Amazing advisor!

I have had an absolute amazing experience with Telmo and TR Tax Advisor! It took me some time to find the right accountant and advisor for my taxes because I travel a lot and as a digital nomad, I need an advisor who is young, dynamic and understand my challenges. Telmo is exactly that. Great knowledge and overall approach to my taxes. Highly recommend!!

Top-Notch Tax Advisor for Small Businesses

I recently had the pleasure of working with the best tax advisor for my small business, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Their expertise and knowledge in tax matters were truly impressive. He not only guided me through the intricacies of tax regulations but also provided invaluable advice to optimize my business's financial strategies.

What stood out the most was their sharp intellect and ability to devise innovative solutions tailored to my specific needs. His level of personalized attention is a true testament to their dedication and commitment to their clients' success.

Additionally, their kindness and approachability made the entire process a breeze. He took the time to explain complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner, making me feel confident and well-informed every step of the way.

Professional, he will make your tax experience smoother

How to say ?
I am a foreigner in Portugal , I used to have bad experiences with lawyers here and some tax documents got messed up Bc my previous lawyer didn’t do anything . I found Telmo on a expart group on Facebook and asked him to help me change the address + request for pw for my tax . He’s very professional, thoughtful and super supportive throughout the process. It took around 1-2 weeks for me to change the address and receive password. For me , he’s worth it , it saved me a lot of time and headaches . I will definitely recommend his services to others . Thank you, Telmo.

"I am extremely satisfied with the services provided by Telmo. From the moment I started working with him, I have experienced a remarkable level of professionalism and expertise. Telmo demonstrated a deep knowledge of tax planning, investments, and fiscal strategies, and was always willing to explain complex financial details in a clear and accessible manner.

What impressed me the most was the personalized approach. Telmo took into account my individual tax goals, risk tolerance, and current situation, creating a tailor-made plan to achieve my objectives. Furthermore, he maintained open and transparent communication, keeping me informed about the performance of my investments and making adjustments as needed.

I feel much more confident about my finances now, thanks to the excellent service of my tax consultant Telmo. I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking solid and personalized financial guidance. It's an investment worth making to ensure a secure and prosperous fiscal future."

Would highly recommend Telmo :)

I’ve really enjoyed working with Telmo, after being a bit daunted submitting my self employed tax returns in Portugal, it was a bit overwhelming learning a new system after coming from the Uk. Telmo has put my mind at ease, being both friendly and professional he has resolved many things for me, making my life in Portugal feel a lot easier and I look forward to continue working with him throughout the years.

Legal/tax support for remote work in Portugal

Telmo did a great job finding answers to my special situation. He was prompt and initiative and even provided additional support to help me settle smoothly in Portugal.
