About HCS

More Than Accountants. Trusted Advisers.

At HCS, we believe great accounting is about more than compliance. It's about building trusted relationships, providing practical advice and giving business owners the confidence to make informed decisions.

OUR STORY

Helping Businesses Navigate Spain with Confidence

Starting or running a business in another country can be exciting, but it also comes with challenges.

Understanding local regulations, staying compliant and making informed financial decisions requires more than technical expertise. It requires advice you can trust and someone who understands the realities of doing business in Spain.

That's why HCS exists.
We work with foreign-owned businesses operating in Spain, providing accounting, tax and business advisory services designed to simplify complexity and support long-term success.

Our aim is not simply to prepare accounts or submit tax returns. We work alongside our clients, helping them make better business decisions, overcome challenges and build successful businesses with confidence.

A Different Approach to Accounting

We understand that every business is different.

Rather than offering standardised packages or generic advice, we take the time to understand your business, your objectives and the challenges you face.

This allows us to provide advice that is practical, commercially focused and tailored to your circumstances.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

"We first contacted HCS before relocating from the UK to Spain in 2017, as we wanted to ensure everything was set up correctly from the very beginning. Since then, HCS has supported me with my self-employed tax returns, Spanish reporting for our UK rental income and ongoing tax advice. What we value most is the peace of mind that comes from knowing we're receiving accurate, reliable advice and that deadlines are always met. The team is knowledgeable, approachable and incredibly responsive – we've always been able to speak to someone when we need to, and emails are answered promptly. When we were randomly inspected by the Spanish tax office, HCS handled the situation professionally and gave us complete confidence throughout what what was a stressful experience. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hazel and her team to anyone looking for experienced, trustworthy accountants in Spain."

From helping me navigate becoming selfemployed in Spain to providing clear, practical advice whenever I need it, the team has always been approachable, responsive and incredibly supportive. I really value their honest, straight-talking advice, transparent fees and the reassurance of knowing someone is always at the end of the phone if I have a question. The team genuinely understands the pressures of running a business, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend HCS to anyone looking for experienced, reliable accountants in Spain."

Sébastien Peres

Founder and Managing Director, Nihil Pictures SL

“When I became self-employed as an English teacher in Spain, I needed an accountant and HCS came highly recommended by a good friend. I really value how responsive the team is, whenever I have a question, I always receive a quick and helpful response. They clearly know their stuff, and although my Spanish is good, having qualified professionals who understand Spanish tax and accounting requirements and can explain everything clearly in English gives me real reassurance. I’m very happy to have HCS looking after my accounting and would happily recommend them.”

Self-Employed English Teacher

“When I moved from Ukraine to Spain, one of my first priorities was setting myself up properly to work here. I didn’t know how to register as autónoma or manage IVA for my work with clients across the EU, and HCS guided me through the whole process. I now know I can rely on the team at every stage of my professional journey to take care of my tax and reporting obligations. It’s a huge relief to be able to upload everything I need and know that experienced professionals will take care of the rest, leaving me free to focus on my work and growing my income.”
