01 · Why we exist
We saw too many people and companies afraid of getting it wrong with Costa Rica’s tax authority (Hacienda), losing hours on paperwork and unsure whether they were paying a fair amount. Founder Check exists to change that, in two ways.
02 · Founder Works
Local and international tax advisory, accounting, finance, BPO and ITO, while you focus on your business.
Founder Works, by Founder CheckWe do it for you
03 · Founder Works
Your tax advisor, your accountant and your finance and operations team work in sync, and let you know when each thing is ready.
04 · Founder Desk
