    • Reporting

      Depending on your interests and experience, you get the opportunity to reflect client performance in management reports, prepare the balance sheet and financial statements, cash flow statements, etc.

      Tax laws and regulations are constantly changing. Our client trusts you to follow up on this and respect the latest rules in place, from tax filing to tax planning.
