After having several mishaps with my complicated tax situation as an American living in Portugal I’m so grateful to have found Rui. He rectified my incorrect tax return and help me receive a refund and was with me all the way. He is extremely responsive at all times I could not recommend him more. In fact I do recommend him to all of my friends and anyone who needs an accountant.

Rui Borges did an excellent job with our Portuguese taxes. We are US citizens and Portuguese residents, and Rui is familiar with that situation. He is patient, thorough, and knowledgeable, explaining every step of the way and answering questions. His English is excellent, which made it easy for us newbies. Highly recommended!

Exceptional Portuguese Tax Advisor for Expats and U.S. Citizens I cannot recommend Rui Fragoso Borges and GoalSeek highly enough. I first started working with Rui after another Portuguese tax advisor made a €14,000 error on my tax return. Rui carefully reviewed everything, identified the mistake, corrected it, and ultimately saved me a substantial amount of money. That experience alone earned my trust. This year, Rui once again did an outstanding job. His turnaround time is incredibly fast, communication is excellent, and he is always available to answer questions thoroughly and professionally. As an American living and working in Portugal, my tax situation is far from straightforward. Rui has an exceptional understanding of the Portuguese tax system, particularly the Non-Habitual Resident (NHR) regime and the many issues that affect expatriates. He doesn't simply prepare a tax return—he takes the time to educate me so I understand how the Portuguese tax system works and how it fits into my overall financial situation. His guidance has given me tremendous confidence that my Portuguese tax affairs are both compliant and optimized. If you are an expat living in Portugal—especially if you are a U.S. citizen—you need someone who understands the unique interaction between Portuguese and international tax matters. Rui is exactly that person. His expertise, attention to detail, professionalism, and responsiveness are second to none. I look forward to working with Rui and the GoalSeek team for many years to come. Thank you, Rui, for another outstanding year of service! — Tomas Alexander

If you’re a foreigner who moved to portugal, are overwhelmed getting your tax situation sorted out and need professional assistance, look not further 😁 Rui is amazing, he was recommend to me by a friend after I was very disappointed with my previous tax lawyer and couldn’t be more happy with Rui helping me getting my stuff sorted out!

As a German expat, I can highly recommend Goalseek. After moving to Portugal, I initially hired another company to handle my accounting and taxes, but communication was very slow and lacked transparency. Working with Rui is completely different - no matter what question I have, he mostly responds the same day. He also provided me with helpful advice on the NHR status and guided me on how to manage my self-employment through the finance portal. I feel like I’m not alone when dealing with the complex challenges of navigating a new country, but rather have a highly reliable partner by my side.

O processo foi muito rápido e deu-me a tranquilidade e a confiança que precisava, uma vez que era a primeira vez que ia fazer a declaração em Portugal.
