Intuit bridges the gap with accountants in Brazil, generating fiscal and tax reports within its system. “Small and medium enterprises move the country, so now we are seeing the [disruption] movement that has happened from individuals to small enterprises. I’m a big believer in ecosystem formation via partnerships.”
The company has 17 vacancies for technology professionals. “Here in Brazil we have professionals to develop things not only for Brazil but also for the United States and other countries that we are present,” he says.
