Excellent accounting service! I used the company's services to open our own enterprise, and were pleasantly surprised by the professionalism and efficiency. Accountants not only helped me with all the necessary paperwork, but also continue to support m company in our business activities. They are always in touch, ready to help and answer all questions. I recommend this company to everyone who values quality and reliability in accounting.

We've been outsourcing our legal part with this company since the beginning of 2023. The company has great managers with a solid ability of the managers to solve complex tasks. Also they could explain every step and tell you what they're doing and why.

Igor Volkov

Amazing service. They helped me with my company opening, updating my trade license, getting visas and much much more. Accounting services are also provided by SNM and Im absolutely satisfied. Should mentioned that Im not the best client - not really well organized and a lot of my requests are very spontaneous. Already recommended SNM to my friends and colleagues.Thanks to Yuliya and Jamilya!
