Frequently Asked Questions
Do expats in Costa Rica need an accountant?
Many expats use a local accountant (contador) for corporation filings, rental income reporting, and navigating Costa Rican tax obligations. If you own property through a corporation or run a business, a contador is essentially required. For simple personal situations, needs are lighter but still worth a consultation.
How much do accountants cost in Costa Rica?
Monthly bookkeeping for a small corporation or business is affordable, often a modest monthly retainer. One-off filings and consultations are priced accordingly. Costs are far lower than comparable US accounting services, and many contadores serving expats work bilingually.
Can a Costa Rican accountant handle US taxes too?
Most local contadores specialize in Costa Rican filings, not US federal taxes. US citizens must still file with the IRS regardless of residency. Many expats use a Costa Rican contador for local matters and a separate US-focused preparer for their American returns.
What should I know about finding an accountant in Escazú?

That shapes your options: in areas with a larger professional pool you will have more choice and more English-speaking providers, while smaller or more remote locations may have fewer listings and sometimes require travelling to a larger town.
