Testimonials

‘Garrido’s professionals have extra experience as they have worked for the Administration and know perfectly how it works.’

‘Francisco Conde is a problem-solver and a facilitator.’

‘We are a family business, and the Garrido team knows all our needs both at the corporate and personal level, which allows them to anticipate and plan our needs in time.’

‘What defines them is a total mastery of their clients’ day-to-day issues, a very broad general knowledge and, above all, an unbeatable mastery of tax procedures, both in inspection and in litigation.’

‘Raúl de Francisco has a very extensive knowledge of the field of tax procedures, and a mastery that is very difficult to find in the market of those more obscure issues, such as customs or special taxes, for which he is a reference.’

‘Francisco Conde is tremendously solid in procedure, imaginative, and talented – he stands out for his memory and technical knowledge, but also and above all for his interpersonal skills.’

‘They get involved in the issues and have initiative; they strive to understand how the company works.’
