Hello All,
I have two important questions - one of which has been talked about extensively in the archives, but I would like more up to date oppinions.
The first one is:
I need an accountant here in the Dominican Republic and would love some referrals. I have plenty of knowledge of accounting so I do not need a bookkeeper. I mainly need a tax accountant, as I need to know exactly how to proceed with my business with tax related information. I would prefer someone that spoke a good bit of english, due to the fact that spanish is not to the point of speaking with someone regarding something so technical. If anyone could please refer me to someone that they use or have used that they feel is competent I would appreciate it. You can reply here or respond to trendsettersdr@yahoo.com. In addition I am in Cabarete, so the closer to me the better (unless they are willing to commute to me).
The second is banking:
I currently have a personal dollar account and peso account with Banco Popular. I went to them today with all of my corporation papers to establish the company checking. Needless to say I walked out and did not establish it based on the manner in which I was treated. I have not been 100% pleased with my business at Banco Popular, however I have dealt with there ways due to the fact that I felt somewhat confident in their security.
Anyway, I am looking for a bank to open up a corporate checking account. If all goes well I would prefer to close my accounts with Banco Popular and transfer my personal accounts to a new bank as well, however one step at a time. I am in Cabarete .. so we have a branch of Popular, Progreso and BHD. What are your thoughts and suggestions or personal experiences with Progreso and BHD? If you do have an account with them what amenities do they offer. (For example - I really wanted a visa or mastercard check card for my bank accounts and Banco Popular did not have that - all they had was the atm card that can be used at a select locations as a debit card.) Any comments are welcome.
Once again thank you all for your help and Happy Turkey Day tomorrow.
