Today, at LABPAC Incubadora Criativa, a session on “Common mistakes in tax and accounting management of startups and small businesses” brought together entrepreneurs and managers seeking to strengthen skills in a key area for business sustainability.
Throughout the session, the main risk factors that continue to undermine startup performance were addressed, namely the lack of structured financial planning, limited awareness of tax obligations, and poor document organization. The negative impact of decisions based on outdated information was also highlighted, often leading to avoidable costs and difficulties in accessing funding.
The initiative reinforced that tax and accounting management should not be seen merely as a legal requirement, but as a strategic tool to support decision-making. The adoption of rigorous, informed, and timely practices was presented as a differentiating factor, capable of enhancing operational efficiency and business credibility among investors and partners.
The session was led by Cláudia Freitas, Founder & Consultant at ÁRVORE – Accounting and Tax Consultancy.
Participants also had the opportunity to clarify specific questions and share real challenges, in a practical learning moment aligned with the current demands of the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
The session reinforced the commitment of Set.Up Guimarães to promoting initiatives that empower entrepreneurs, contributing to the development of stronger, more sustainable and growth-ready projects.
