Firm story
Following 20 years as a Tax Partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers
In 2006, Manuel Candal, founded Candal Advisors Group as an independent boutique and former member firm of Taxand, one of the world’s leading global tax networks. The firm was built on a deliberate premise: that sophisticated clients deserve senior-level attention on every matter, without the institutional overhead of a large firm.
Twenty years later, Candal Advisors Group operates from Caracas, Miami and Madrid, serving clients across multiple jurisdictions with the same founding principle: judgment, discretion, and long-term partnership.

OUR APPROACH
How we work
Senior attention on every matter
At Candal Advisors Group, there is no delegation to junior staff on matters that require judgment. Every engagement is led personally by a senior advisor with decades of international tax experience.
Technical rigor with strategic perspective
We combine the analytical depth of Big 4 training with the independent perspective of a boutique practice — free from the institutional conflicts that affect larger firms.
Long-term partnership
Our client relationships span years and decades. We invest in understanding each client’s full situation — across jurisdictions, across asset classes, and across generations.
Discretion as a foundation
Our clients manage complex, sensitive matters. We treat every engagement with the confidentiality and care it deserves.
