Year-end is when many companies set the budget for the next cycle. In many cases, the approved document loses its usefulness before the end of the first half, either because the assumptions did not hold up or because no one returned to it after approval.

VBR Brasil is now SW VBR Brasil. The change comes as VBR joins ShineWing International (SW), a global professional services network with roots in the Asia-Pacific region and one of the 25 largest in the sector. This step was taken in Madrid in late October.

At this time of year, departments consolidate their projections and the executive team prepares to approve targets, investments and hiring for 2027. Before approval, it is worth asking a question that is often left out: what happens to results and cash if the budget assumptions do not hold?

For fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, CPC 51, the Brazilian version of IFRS 18, replaces CPC 26 (R1) and will guide how companies present and disclose their financial statements. For publicly held companies, the requirement was established by CVM Resolution 237/2025, issued by Brazil's securities regulator. Recognition and measurement rules remain the same, and profit for the period generally does not change. What changes is how information is organized,

When an attack brings operations to a halt, the questions raised in the first hours are business questions, and the board and executive team are the ones who need to answer them. That is why preparation needs to involve them as well.

Since October 1, 2026, the implementation schedule for Brazil's Consumption Tax Reform has entered a new stage. The date marked the start of new requirements, depending on each taxpayer's operations:

Chatbots, copilots, automations, and analytical tools are already part of the routine of many companies, sometimes without anyone having mapped where they are being used or what data they access.

Since January 2026, part of the profits and dividends paid to individuals has been subject to withholding income tax. In August, the Brazilian Federal Revenue Service detailed how this withholding must work in practice.

In 2007, a law changed how Brazilian companies must account for their own assets. Almost 20 years later, many companies are still not compliant, resulting in distorted financial results, incorrectly measured collateral, and friction during M&A or due diligence processes. On our blog, we explain the four requirements introduced by this law and how to determine whether your company is compliant.

Whenever a company changes in size, operations, or strategy, the tax structure that made sense before may no longer be suitable. This affects tax credits, pricing, and cash flow, not just the amount of tax paid during the month. On our blog, we explain when it is worth reviewing this structure and how it connects with the ongoing tax reform.

Monthly results that are only reviewed halfway through the following month mean decisions are being made in the dark. The information arrives, but only after the moment when it should have been on the table. This is the first of three signs that the finance function is no longer supporting the operation and has become a bottleneck. The other two almost always appear alongside it.

The concern is legitimate and comes up in nearly every conversation about this topic, because accounts payable, accounts receivable, and reconciliation routines are where a company sees its cash flow in action. The answer depends far less on the decision itself and much more on three definitions established before the work begins: the scope of what will be outsourced and what will remain internal, the approval authorities that stay within the company, and the cadence at whic

Disagreement among shareholders is healthy, including between parents and children who see the business differently. The problem arises when there is no proper place for that disagreement — a forum with a defined agenda, clear decision-making authority, and a formal record of what was decided, so that difficult conversations can begin and end within the company.

This conflict rarely begins with an open argument. Each incident seems too small to justify a serious conversation, so no one brings the issue to the table, and the accumulation does the damage on its own. The point is that neither side is usually wrong. They are simply making decisions according to different standards within the same company. In this week’s blog article, we explain why the first year after an investor joins the shareholder structure is the most critical pe

Visa, tax structure, property, deadlines, documentation. Each stage carries a different weight when the destination is Brazil. On today’s blog, we share how a journey like this can be conducted without surprises or improvisation.

Negotiation is very important, but it does not define the success of an M&A transaction on its own. On the blog, we share what years of experience in relevant transactions have taught us about this.

The transition is already underway, and its effects have reached invoices, registrations, and systems. Treating this as a 2027 issue is the most expensive mistake a manager can make right now. On the blog, we explain the three steps to structure the adaptation process safely, from diagnosis to execution.
