Fortuny Abad Lluch SLP

Tax, accounting and payroll for Barcelona companies and self-employed workers

Working from Barcelona and Arenys de Mar, the Fortuny Abad Lluch practice is a gestoria, the Spanish form of administrative office. Its registered professionals provide tax, accounting, employment and legal services to companies, self-employed people (autonomos) and independent professionals. The office says it tailors its service to what entrepreneurs need, from the first steps of a business through to established operations.

The firm's services include tax planning and filings, bookkeeping and accounts, payroll and employment administration, and support on labour matters such as the furlough scheme known as ERTE. It also gives legal advice through its lawyer partner. The office says it brings in a specialist for each client's sector so that the service is matched to the business rather than delivered from a template.

A firm founded in 1950 and run by its partners since 2003

The practice was founded in 1950 by an administrative agent and commercial graduate. Since 2003 it has been run by two partners, one a lawyer and administrative agent and the other a tax adviser and businesswoman. Its professionals are registered with the official bodies for administrative agents, lawyers and commercial graduates, and the firm draws on those bodies in its work.

Inheritance and commercial legal advice alongside gestoria work

Alongside tax and accounts, the office handles commercial law matters and advice on inheritances. Its advisers work on the legal side of company administration and on questions about how estates pass to heirs, so that clients with a mix of business and family matters can deal with one office. The firm also keeps its clients informed of changes in tax and employment rules through short updates, which set out what each change means for a company or self-employed worker in practice.
