"Superb understanding"
I worked with Manuel who explained my tax burden in detail, my options in tax regimes, along with actual financial simulation. His understanding is superb. He helped to setup a Portuguese entity, apply for NHR 2.0 and now am doing business and personal accounting with Touchdown.
