Challenge
A renowned European company in the perfumes and cosmetics trading industry announced its expansion into the Albanian market in early 2023. The company needed comprehensive support for market entry, including company registration documentation, tax compliance advice, tailored accounting strategy development, and connections with key local service providers. A major challenge emerged when the company decided to handle all sales centrally from their headquarters abroad, which presented difficulties under Albania's legal framework for electronic invoicing, as local regulations require all sales invoices to be fiscalized through a licensed Albanian provider. Additionally, during operations, technical glitches in data transmission between the client's system and the fiscalization platform created compliance risks that required immediate attention.
Solution
Eurofast provided end-to-end market entry support including company registration, tax compliance advisory, and tailored accounting framework design suitable for international financial reporting. When technical issues arose with e-invoicing data inconsistencies, Eurofast immediately informed the client and developed a custom reconciliation model to cross-check and match data between the company's internal system and the fiscalization service provider. The team conducted in-depth analysis to identify discrepancies and traced the issue to a technical glitch in data transmission, enabling quick resolution while ensuring full compliance.
Results
The client successfully entered the Albanian market and maintained uninterrupted operations throughout the expansion. Eurofast's proactive approach resulted in the client avoiding potential financial penalties and gaining full confidence in the accuracy and reliability of their accounting and reporting systems in Albania. The quick identification and resolution of the e-invoicing technical issues demonstrated Eurofast's commitment to going beyond standard responsibilities to actively protect client interests and support long-term success.
