We offer an advanced Collaborative Accounting Service that is distinguished by its integration and expert use of the Holded platform, of which we are a Partner, as well as other tools specialized in the automation of backoffice processes.

The service is designed to transform the financial and accounting management of your company, taking advantage of our extensive experience in the implementation of advanced technological solutions, which also covers all essential tax aspects to ensure tax compliance and optimization of the tax burden.

We automate the issuance and receipt of invoices, anticipating the electronic invoice and centralize the economic information of the company's activity in a single platform, through Holded, allowing real-time access to the most relevant and updated information.

This accessibility is crucial for the company's tax management, the periodic settlement of its models and liquidations, as well as strategic decision making and efficient workflow management. The automation of accounting processes, from invoicing to bank reconciliation, plays a fundamental role in our service, minimizing errors and freeing up valuable time that can be dedicated to tasks of greater strategic value.

Seamless integration with other tools and applications is another cornerstone of our service. This enables business management ranging from accounting to CRM and project management, facilitating a seamless workflow and improving operational efficiency.

Holded's platform, known for its intuitive and easy-to-use interface, demonstrates that advanced accounting doesn't have to be complicated, which is ideal for fostering effective collaboration within your team.

We also collaborate with other platforms, such as Pleo to integrate expense management and its supports into business workflows, integrating Pleo with Holded to facilitate the company's back-office management.

Through the integration of platforms, we facilitate the digital capture, storage and retrieval of all invoices, complying with the legal obligation to retain these documents and providing companies with the necessary tools for efficient financial analysis. This digitization not only optimizes storage space and reduces the risk of loss, but also improves accessibility and document management for internal audits and tax queries.

We seek to ensure that our clients adopt best practices in document and tax management. With more than thirty years of experience and being partners of advanced technological solutions, we position ourselves as a key ally for companies seeking efficiency, transparency and compliance in their accounting and tax management.

At Cigarrán Abogados, our mission is to take Employment Advice to a higher level, integrating advanced online services with leading platforms such as Holded and Pleo, also expanding our offer to include essential services such as the Online Recruitment Service and the Social Security Service. We qualify our service as an Online Employment Consultancy that we provide to clients throughout Spain.

This combination of services is designed to offer a comprehensive, efficient solution tailored to the specific needs of each business, in particular for an online labor advisory service.

The online labor advisory service is based on a deep knowledge and many years of experience in the complex scenario of the ever-changing Spanish labor legislation, which must also be combined with a deep knowledge of the different collective bargaining agreements applicable for each of the sectors.

We have vast experience in certain collective bargaining agreements, particularly those applicable to the financial and IT sectors, which we have been applying for years to a significant number of our clients.

Likewise, we are very familiar with telework and digital nomadism, incorporating in employment contracts and telework annexes a series of specific clauses on this subject, which we have been shaping over the years. Teleworking and digital nomadism is another form of online labor consulting that our clients demand and we provide.

We mention our experience in the labor management of Embassies and Consulates, about which we expand in a specific service that you can access here.

Our approach in online labor consulting ranges from the management of contracts and Social Security registrations to advice on legislative changes. Thanks to digitalization, we ensure an agile and secure document management, allowing easy and secure access to contracts, payrolls and all relevant documentation, always guaranteeing maximum legal compliance.

We also combine labor management with a deep tax knowledge not only of resident workers but also of non-resident workers and expatriate workers, known as Expat workers. We pay special attention, due to its complexity, to the process of acquiring tax residency in Spain, a matter of special interest when companies hire Expat workers. We mention the so-called Beckham Regime, which is of special interest in these cases.

Payroll management is simplified thanks to our integration with online services, automating the calculation of salaries, deductions and tax withholdings. In addition, we take care of all payments and tax declarations, ensuring their correct completion in due time and form. The collaboration with Pleo allows us to offer advanced solutions for expense management, thus optimizing operational efficiency and personnel-related financial administration.

This service revolutionizes the way employment contracts are drawn up and managed, offering complete customization, digital registration and management with the relevant authorities, and unprecedented accessibility and data security. Online management eliminates the need for face-to-face procedures, streamlining the process and ensuring effective regulatory compliance.

Acting as authorized agents of the Social Security's RED System, we represent your company before this organization, carrying out all the necessary formalities digitally. This includes from the registration and deregistration of workers to the management of incidents and the application for benefits, always with continuous advice to ensure compliance with all obligations.

However, when litigation is unavoidable, our team is prepared to represent our clients with determination and rigor before the courts and other judicial instances.

We have lawyers in key countries such as Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, India and Mauritania, enabling us to provide a strong legal defense in matters that have a significant international component.

We assist companies in their expansion into international markets, particularly in those countries with which we have established a solid relationship over more than 25 years: Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, India and Mauritania, among others.

We offer a comprehensive legal and strategic advisory service covering all stages of the internationalization process.

Our in-depth knowledge of the legal and commercial environment in these countries allows us to offer Spanish companies unparalleled support in the exploration of commercial opportunities, the development of agendas and relevant contacts, and the strategic and legal advice necessary to successfully enter these markets.

It is crucial for Spanish companies seeking to expand internationally to analyze the agreements that Spain has signed with other countries on reciprocal investment protection. These international agreements provide a solid framework for the protection of investments against non-commercial risks, such as expropriation without compensation, discrimination or arbitrary measures by the host state.

Having recourse to such legal instruments is essential to safeguard business investment and ensure a more secure and predictable environment for operating internationally. At Cigarrán Abogados, we emphasize the importance of a thorough planning that includes a thorough review and understanding of these agreements, in order to maximize the protection and benefits they can offer to our clients' investments.

We have acquired notable experience participating in international proceedings before special tribunals designed to adjudicate claims brought under mutual investment protection treaties. Our intervention in these cases highlights our ability to skillfully navigate the complex web of international laws and regulations, defending our clients' interests in global settings.

The jurisdiction of these special tribunals in cross-border investment matters is fundamental to ensure that disputes are resolved in a fair and equitable manner, thus providing a crucial channel for the protection of foreign investments against unfair or discriminatory actions by states. Our experience in these international forums reinforces our commitment to providing our clients with the security and legal support they need to protect their investments worldwide.

This service includes the tax structuring of the investment, ensuring that our client companies maximize their tax efficiency while complying with local and international regulations.

One of the most critical aspects in the internationalization of Spanish companies is the effective management of the tax aspects associated with global expansion. Spain has an extensive network of double taxation agreements with other countries, which significantly facilitates the operation of Spanish companies abroad. These treaties are fundamental to avoid double taxation of income obtained abroad, providing a legal framework that ensures a more favorable tax treatment for companies and individuals making investments or trading internationally.

We take advantage of our in-depth knowledge of these treaties and international tax legislation to advise companies on the optimal structuring of their investments abroad, thus ensuring maximum tax efficiency and minimization of tax burdens in their global operations.

In addition, we understand the importance of hiring local personnel as a fundamental pillar for successful internationalization.

Therefore, we offer advice in the search, selection and recruitment of local talent, respecting the labor laws of each country and facilitating the cultural integration of the company in the new market.
Our commitment is to provide comprehensive support that allows Spanish companies not only to expand internationally, but also to thrive in a competitive global environment.
