Mark has been super good with accounting for freelancers, and I’ve been happy with him. He’s been very responsive and quite usable the whole way, and he hasn’t overcharged me for every small detail, so if I just had to ask a question, I didn’t have to schedule a call or anything. I first used him about a month ago, and I’m going to be using him as well for my quarterly tax return.

Review of Marta, Dec 2025
I’ve been working with Marta for about six weeks on a property project in Portugal that’s still in the early stages. There’s quite a lot of administration and she handles the local stuff, understanding how institutions work in Portugal like the CTT and electricity companies, and she’s set up a few things we needed. We’ve been extremely impressed with her - she’s actually amazing.

Review of Portugal Personal Fixer, Aug 2025
Carolina helped me set up my utilities and get settled, everything from painting to handyman stuff. Her level of detail and consistency is excellent, and she’s intelligent, personable, resourceful, and she gets the job done. I’ve worked with several assistants and she’s actually the best executive assistant I’ve ever worked with. Scheduling was easy and the price felt reasonable for the quality.
