Strategic guidance for solid results

With a multidisciplinary approach and a highly qualified team capable of addressing various demands from different business models, we have developed effective methodologies and tools for identifying and preventing pension-related risks, as well as optimizing the tax cost associated with payroll.

We work in an integrated manner, providing support in structuring, reviewing, and improving practices and processes, guiding companies and investors through the complexity of Brazilian legislation and best market practices. We also assist our clients in pension compliance, evaluating compensation structures and their implications to generate the best outcome. Furthermore, we efficiently manage actions to recover pension credits and defend against pension audits.
