Visión Contable & Financiera appointed as AGA’s accounting member in Colombia

With law firm member Peňa Mancero Abogados providing legal services in Colombia, VCF’s appointment ensures the region’s companies have access to the full range of professional services needed across the business lifecycle.

Established in 2008 and headquartered in Bogota, the firm offers audit and assurance, payroll outsourcing, consulting and tax and accounting services to local and high-profile international clients in the social and solidarity enterprises, agriculture, commercial, industrial and oil and gas sectors. Staff at the firm conduct business in Spanish, English and Italian.

Managing Partner Óscar Rodrigo Opayome Ramírez has extensive experience of working with high profile international companies and is a member of the Technical Council of Public Accounting (CTCP) and the IFRS committee of the National Institute of Public Accountants (INCP). Óscar currently serves on the Assurance Committee and the Committee of Experts on Cryptoassets of the Technical Council of Public Accounting. He is also a frequent author and contributor to many articles, including those relating to blockchain and digital assets.

Óscar comments:

“It is an honour to represent AGA in Colombia and to be recognised as its exclusive accounting, tax, and audit member in the country. Myself and my team are extremely excited about the opportunities that membership will open for us such as creating more opportunities locally and, by raising awareness of our AGA alliance membership, we can expand our own portfolio of international clientele.

“In turn we have existing international clients who require support in other jurisdictions including in Spain, France, Italy and further across Latin America so we hope that by working with our colleagues in these and other locations, we can form mutual beneficial and long-standing working relationships.”

Giles Brake, Alliott Global Alliance CEO, adds:

“Affiliation between AGA and VCF will deliver significant benefits to foreign and domestic investors operating within and through Colombia. Our strategic partnership ensures VCF can market itself as a local firm with the global reach needed by international companies, while AGA can now offer its members and their clients across the world convenient access to the accounting, tax, audit, and advisory services they need in Colombia. Óscar and his experienced team will play an important role in ensuring clients view AGA as a strong Latin American network that can service their complex, cross border needs from one country to another.”

AGA’s Latin American membership is growing organically at a fast rate with new accounting and law members now present in 13 countries across the Latin American continent in: Argentina (Estudio Nunes & Asociados), Brazil (Madrona Advogados and Consulcamp Auditoria e Assessoria), Mexico (Vazquez Tercero & Zepeda and Blasco y Asociados), Costa Rica (FORZA), Ecuador (Tax Financial Leaders Del Ecuador), Chile (OGL Abogadas and Proximo Auditores), Panama (PGS), Peru (ARE), Colombia (Peña Mancero Abogados and VCR), and Guatemala (Clarity Law).
