Business accounting

Business accounting in Paraguay, built for decision-making

Orderly compliance before DNIT (Paraguay's tax authority) and better information, so your management team can decide with numbers it can trust.

The service

What it really means to keep a company's books properly in Paraguay

Keeping a company's books in Paraguay involves far more than entering invoices and filing returns. It means maintaining records consistent with Law 6380/2019 (Ley 6380/2019), correctly calculating IVA (VAT) and IRE (corporate income tax) under the regime that applies to the company, complying with electronic invoicing through the SIFEN system, reconciling bank transactions against the records, and keeping supporting documentation organized in case DNIT requests it.

At MCG we do that work with a simple standard: the accounting has to hold up externally — before the tax authority — and internally — before the company's management. If the numbers only serve to meet a filing deadline but never tell the owner what margin each business line generates or why costs rose this quarter, the job is only half done.

We work with companies across every industry: retail and wholesale, services, construction, import, technology, healthcare, food service and foreign investment projects. Each industry has its own tax particularities, and that is part of what we assess before defining the scope.

Proposed scope

What the monthly accounting service includes

This is the reference scope. The final scope for each company is defined by its actual operation.

Monthly bookkeeping

Recording and maintaining the accounting for the entire operation, with consistent criteria period after period.

Tax obligations

Preparation and filing of the applicable obligations before DNIT, with deadline control based on your RUC (tax ID).

Closings and periodic reports

Period closings with reports showing results, margins and trends, in a format management can actually read.

Reconciliations

Reconciliation of bank transactions, electronic invoicing and accounting records, according to the plan contracted.

Documentation follow-up

Organizing and controlling supporting documentation — the first thing requested in a tax audit.

DNIT coordination

Handling filings, queries and communications with the tax authority on the company's behalf.

Frequently asked questions

About the accounting service

It depends on the tax and the regime. IVA (VAT) is calculated and filed monthly; IRE (corporate income tax) has an annual return, with advance payments depending on the regime; and there are additional informational filings depending on the activity. Deadlines follow DNIT's calendar based on the last digit of your RUC (tax ID), and part of our service is maintaining a dedicated deadline calendar for each company.
Yes, and it happens often. What matters is organizing the handover: establishing which periods have been filed, obtaining the files and supporting records from the previous accountant, verifying opening balances and identifying anything left pending before DNIT before moving forward. We always perform that initial review, because starting without knowing the true starting point creates problems later on.
Payroll processing and labor obligations are assessed case by case and included in the scope where appropriate. When we define the proposal we state explicitly what is included and what is quoted separately, so there is no ambiguity afterwards.
We support the company throughout the process: we organize and submit the required documentation, respond to formal requests within the deadlines, and coordinate with any other professionals needed depending on the scope of the audit. No serious firm can promise there will be no adjustments; what can be done is to arrive with records and supporting documentation in proper condition, which is exactly what reduces the risk.
