Luiz Bento

GESCON Consultoria is a corporate services and business consulting firm based in São Paulo, Brazil, advising companies that need to navigate the country's notably complex regulatory, tax and labour environment. The firm has been named Corporate Services Advisory Firm of the Year in Brazil at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025, a recognition of its role as a comprehensive partner for organisations doing business in the Brazilian market. Luiz Bento is a partner at the firm and a regular contributor to its published insights.

The firm presents itself as a provider of complete solutions, drawing on combined expertise across accounting, law and business management. That multidisciplinary base allows it to address the interconnected challenges companies face, where a single commercial decision can carry accounting, tax, labour and legal implications at once. Rather than offering these as separate silos, GESCON positions itself as a single point of contact able to coordinate advice across disciplines.

Corporate services sit at the heart of the practice. GESCON offers business process outsourcing covering accounting, tax compliance, treasury and payroll, freeing clients to concentrate on their core operations while the firm manages the demanding administrative and compliance functions that Brazilian regulation imposes. It also provides professional employer and employer-of-record arrangements, legal representation and corporate hosting, allowing overseas companies to establish and maintain a compliant presence in the country without building out their own local infrastructure from the outset.

Beyond ongoing outsourcing, the firm advises on the strategic questions that accompany entry into and expansion within Brazil. Its consulting work spans tax, labour and legal matters, and includes transfer pricing and market-entry advisory aimed at foreign businesses assessing or establishing operations. The firm's published commentary reflects this focus, examining subjects such as the intricacies of Brazil's ICMS tax regime and the structure of the country's labour costs, areas where informed guidance can make a material difference to how a business is set up and run.

With this combination of hands-on corporate administration and higher-level advisory, GESCON is positioned to support both domestic companies and international groups seeking a reliable local partner. Its recognition as Corporate Services Advisory Firm of the Year in Brazil at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 underscores the standing it has built in helping clients manage complexity, remain compliant and operate efficiently in one of Latin America's largest and most demanding economies, with Luiz Bento among the partners guiding that work.
