Our story.

We started Simples because Portuguese IRS shouldn't require fluent Portuguese, a €500 accountant, or a weekend of guesswork in Portal das Finanças.

The moment

One of us paid €520 for what turned out to be an hour of someone retyping numbers. The other was up at 1am trying to figure out which Anexo to use for a US brokerage account. Same year, same country, same problem.

The bet

If we could turn the dense Portuguese tax form into a calm English conversation — without taking your portal credentials and without pretending to be your accountant — we could give expats the one thing the existing market doesn't: a tool you can actually trust to be honest about its limits.

Today

We're in private beta with tax year 2025. The free assessment is open to anyone, the filing flow opens to early users this spring. If you want to be one of them, try the free check.
