Updating my first review because I was a bit too harsh. I received a call from Inês today and she was incredibly helpful and polite. If you’re an American, it’s complicated due to the FATCA guid... See more

The APP works great (helpdesk too)
The APP works great, transfers are a breeze, the only two times I needed assistance (because of a transfer and after having blocked my own debit card with the wrong PIN) replies were quick and effective

The process of incorporating my company with Rauva was very simple, I was always up to date and felt like I knew what to expect for next steps.

Great disposition in customer service
I'm working directly with the Rauva accountant team and they have exceeded my expectations. They are super helpful, honest and really know what they are talking about

Extremely poor customer service. Ghosted.
We were trying to partner with them to transfer from our current Portugal accountants. We were coordinating with their account manager regarding putting our company in a dormant state.
On call, we were assured that they would be able to accommodate our request. They took a week to get back to us and told us that they wouldn't be able to anymore as it was too complicated of a process.
We then explored partnering with them instead for one of their basic packages. We needed some clauses on the agreement adjusted for a clearer and more mutually beneficial. They responded after another week saying that they would not be able to do so as their agreements are standard. Upon requesting separate documentation instead, outside of the agreement, they never replied. This was June 27th. To this date, they have not responded despite multiple follow-ups. They have totally ghosted us and what started as a promising partnership is now a dodged bullet.
Sad to see that others have had bad experiences with them as well.
great support, guidance and reactivity
Was a pleasant meeting where I could ask all questions I had. Ana seems very professional and dedicated.
I have had an amazing experience so far with Rauva and I am very satisfied about my choice to work with you.

Rauva - good service!
I recently used Rauva to incorporate my company and the process was completely seamless for me. I received excellent support throughout the incorporation process. Despite my initial desire for a faster registration, compliance with Portugal law requirements was understandable. Once registered, I had no problems with the integration. The accountant João Pereira provided detailed information and thorough advice on how to conduct my business in Portugal within the legal framework. I continue to work with Rauva for ongoing business support. I wholeheartedly recommend Rauva services

Setting up a company as easy as 1,2,3
Setting up my company with Rauva was easy and simple - from the very beginning the customer service was attentive and clear. I had a company LDA in 3 weeks! Loving the service overall, and can't wait to use all their features.

I needed a hassle free way to setup a company in Portugal
I recently moved to Portugal and needed help setting up my new company while simultaneously managing my relocation. Rauva took care of everything related to my company setup, from registration to even obtaining my tax number.This took so much pressure off me, allowing me to focus on other essential aspects of my move.
Now that my company is established and I've met with my accountant, my confidence in Rauva has only grown stronger.
My friends here in Portugal are amazed at how affordable Rauva's services are, especially considering everything that's included.
I'm excited to celebrate future successes with Rauva as they continue to grow, and I'm equally thrilled about the future of my new company
