Italo Bandeira

Alexandre is a high skilled professional in his area and his work was a key factor of success when we were implementing ORACLE system at Del Monte. Alexandre was always committed to do his best. His sense of commitment is absolutely outstanding. I've found Alexandre to be inteligent and trustworthy as well as energetic in carrying out his duties. Alexandre is able to work in several areas: finance, accounting, tax, etc.

Alexadre is that rare mix of expert analyst and creative thinker that makes his accounting services so extraordinary. He is focused always on being your advocate and relieving you of the burdens off accounting work, so you can pursue what you are passionate about. He is able, at the same time, to provide you with advice and counsel that will continue to save and/or make you significant amounts of money! I highly recommend him and his services if you are serious about growing your business while protecting your personal wealth.
