Firm Description:

Rich Coast Accounting was formed in 2012 to help small and closely held businesses and individuals with their accounting and tax needs in Costa Rica. Many of these persons had trouble navigating the business environment due to differences from their home country and the language gap.

Costa Rica tax and business laws are complex, slow and sometimes nonsensical. We know this and work with our clients to solve their problems, keep them compliant and abreast of changes in tax laws and business matters and explain all of this in clear and understandable language.

The firm serves clients in various service industry segments, such as hospitality  and hotels, tourism,  real estate development, rentals and investments, real estate brokerages, property management, and technology firms.

The firm also provides US persons both living in Costa Rica and outside with their US tax planning and compliance needs. This includes converting non-compilers, who have either unfiled or incomplete filings (i.e. foreign disclosures and FBARS), to responsible and compliant taxpayers.

Rich Coast Accounting services a variety of clients all over Costa Rica – Nosara, Puerto Viejo, San Jose, Jaco, Manual Antonio, Perez Zeldon, Tamarindo, Playa de Coco, Playa Flamingo, and Uvita.

Firm description

We understand the pressures of running a business, setting up a new venture or attending to tax compliance and are here to help. In a world where there is increasing levels of legislation and bureaucracy it can be difficult to find the time to concentrate on growing your business or developing your career. One of our aims is to ease the compliance burden by being proactive and forward thinking so that your time can be focused on what is most important to you.

Historically, individuals and businesses have viewed their accountant’s role as being limited to providing assistance with discharging compliance responsibilities such as preparing end of year financial statements or tax computations and returns. In a world of rapid technological development and intense competition it is more important than ever to be innovative.

Whilst never losing sight of the traditional services that we offer, we believe that it is important to provide a wider service and to give more commercially focused advice to our clients.

We will work closely with you, guiding you as necessary and challenging your plans and thoughts. It is our close relationship and our interest and involvement in your business or career, combined with our broad professional and commercial experience that we believe will add value to your proposition and enhance your prospects.

Our approach to service delivery means that you will always have a partner as your central point of contact that manages and coordinates your global affairs.
