Reviews from our clients
My question was not exactly Olga’s specialty, however, she explained possible further actions and helped me navigate a new situation for me. I would like to note the pleasant communication and professional approach to the request
Having moved to France, it is very difficult to communicate with the French on the topic of entrepreneurship and taxes, there are too many nuances and complex terms. I’m glad that I managed to find a person who speaks Russian, but at the same time fully understands the French system. Olga answered all my questions and was very helpful!!! Thank you, I recommend it to everyone!
Olga is a professional consultant with an individual approach to clients. Very pleasant to talk to. Our short consultation helped me understand where to move next and what to do in my situation. Thank you very much!
The consultation with Olga was very useful for me: Olga answered my questions and clarified points that I did not understand. Everything is clear and to the point! Thank you
I recommend Olga, a responsible and competent specialist. I had a consultation with her regarding running a business, and before that I had a consultation in another place, so there is something to compare with. Olga approached the preparation very professionally, which is very important, she took into account individual circumstances, and clearly and competently explained all the questions that interested me. The consultation was complete and detailed, and allowed us to figure out how to proceed further.
