Compliance blind spots in Spain

"We've got Spain sorted"... famous last words I hear from CFOs during initial calls. Six months later, the same client discovered they'd been accidentally running two conflicting accounting systems without realising it.

This scenario plays out more often than you'd think with UK and US companies expanding into Spain. The complexity of Spanish compliance requirements, combined with existing home-country systems, creates blind spots that can cost serious money and regulatory headaches. The lesson? Getting Spain "sorted" requires more than good intentions – it needs systematic integration from day one.
