BPS Bureau Profesional de Servicios, S.C. (Despacho Alvaro Cordón y Asociados)

BPS Bureau Profesional de Servicios is a multidisciplinary professional firm in Mexico City. Its central claim is that many accountants and practices offer similar services, but few bring the different disciplines together in a single firm. BPS says it combines accounting, tax and administrative expertise under one roof, so that a company with a mix of accounting, fiscal and administrative problems can deal with one team.

Principles and way of working

The firm describes its ethical principles as the cornerstone of its processes and strategies. Honesty, loyalty, professionalism, teamwork and a service attitude are named as the values that have guided its daily work for decades. The company says it looks at each client's situation in real depth before proposing a solution, so that its recommendations address the underlying problem rather than its symptoms.

Planning ahead for changes in tax law

The firm says it carries out strategic planning so that clients are prepared for frequent changes in tax legislation. For a business, the value is that tax obligations are reviewed before they become a problem, rather than dealt with only when a deadline arrives.

Personal advice for owners and managers

BPS presents its clients as strategic partners and itself as a business ally. The firm says it understands how much the health of a company matters to its owners, and it aims to give personal attention to each account. Its website also says it works in a multidisciplinary way so that owners do not have to coordinate several separate advisers.

Specialist services for Mexican companies

Among the matters the firm handles are reviews of fees treated as salary for tax purposes, which apply when individuals are paid for services in a way the tax rules treat like wages. It also advises on specialised staff subcontracting, and on the duties that partners and shareholders have under new regulations. Each of these areas needs particular care, so the firm treats them as separate pieces of work rather than a general accounts job.

Experience and expertise

The firm has been operating for several decades, and its website gives its age in years as forty. Several of its associates teach at universities and act as consultants to the tax authorities, which the firm presents as a source of technical depth. Its accounting work includes keeping the books of owners who run more than one business.
