- Advice on accounting matters and application of specific sectoral adaptations (general accounting plan for non-profit making entities), together with the preparation of financial statements on different dates to those of the year end close, to be used for decision-making by different organs (management, parents associations, owners of educational institutions), etc.
- Comprehensive tax advice to entities in the sector: tax regime for not-for-profit organisations and tax incentives for patronage, agreement between the Spanish state and the Holy See on economic affairs, etc.
- Commercial advice: constitution of entities in the sector, formalisation of property transfer agreements, proceedings before competent bodies (Department of Education of the Basque Government), etc.
