For accountants managing solo entrepreneurs
Your clients want transparency. You want structured data. Descodify gives you both.
Descodify is the tool your clients use to handle invoicing, VAT, and Social Security in Portugal. When your clients use it, they get visibility into their own tax affairs - and you get organized invoices, categorized expenses, and clients who understand what you're filing on their behalf.

The expat client problem
Solo entrepreneurs arriving from abroad are your fastest-growing client segment - and your most time-consuming.
They don't understand the system
They don't know what a Recibo Verde is, why some expenses appear in e-fatura and others don't, or what retenção na fonte means. They ask the same questions every quarter. They need things explained in English. Every email takes longer than it should.
Their expenses are a mess
They email you PDFs of invoices from US, UK, and EU suppliers. Half don't have Portuguese VAT. Some have VAT from the wrong country. Their Amazon and Google invoices don't fit into any clean category. You spend time sorting through what can go in the quarterly declaration, what belongs in the annual return, and what can't be declared at all.
They want to see what you filed
Increasingly, these clients want to review declarations before submission. They want to understand what was included and what wasn't. They've read about the 15% expense proof rule and want to know where they stand. This is reasonable - it's their NIF on the declaration - but it creates work for you that the current workflow doesn't support well.
What changes when your clients use Descodify
How it works
Your client signs up and invites you
The client creates their Descodify account, sets up their business profile, and invites you as their accountant. You get access to their invoices, expenses, and declarations.
They handle the day-to-day
Clients issue invoices, track expenses, and see their tax position throughout the year. Descodify automates VAT calculations, Social Security tracking, and the 15% expense proof requirement.
You review and file
When it's time for quarterly or annual declarations, the data is already organized. You review, make adjustments if needed, and file. The client sees exactly what was submitted.
No more credential sharing
The current workflow requires clients to share their Portal das Finanças login with you - and to keep two-factor authentication disabled so you can access their account. Descodify replaces this with proper access management. Each person logs in with their own credentials. You see what you need to see. Your clients keep their portal secure.
