ACR Soluções Tributárias

What ACR Soluções Tributárias does

ACR Soluções Tributárias is a Brazilian tax consulting firm headquartered in São Paulo's Itaim Bibi district, with additional offices in Belo Horizonte (Savassi) and Nova Lima. Founded by Dr. Fabricio Alves Quirino, the firm specializes in identifying and recovering federal tax credits (IRPJ, CSLL, PIS, COFINS, IPI) and social security contributions on behalf of corporate clients operating under the Lucro Real or Lucro Presumido tax regimes. ACR's distinctive method leverages 211+ binding court decisions (decisões vinculantes) from Brazil's Superior Courts (STJ and STF), enabling administrative recovery through restitution, ressarcimento, or compensation channels rather than litigation—a process the firm completes within 90-120 days, compared to 10-15 years for judicial recovery.

The firm's core service portfolio includes Diagnóstico Tributário (tax diagnostics), Compliance/Due Diligence, Auditoria Fiscal/Contábil, Planejamento Societário e Patrimonial, and Departamento Pessoal/FOPAG (payroll management including RM TOTVS implementation). ACR operates on a pure success-fee model: clients pay nothing upfront, and fees are calculated as a percentage of the monetary value of credits recovered. Engagements begin with a board-level meeting, NDA, and success-fee contract, followed by a 30-day diagnostic phase and full credit utilization within 90-120 days. Professional liability insurance covers all engagements at no additional client cost.

ACR's go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales targeting Brazilian corporate boards. The firm reports 800+ corporate clients across diverse industries (financial, automotive, retail, agribusiness, healthcare, mining, aviation), with marquee engagements for Grupo Accor Hotels, Magazine Luiza, Grupo BIG, GWM, and Pirelli. Demand generation relies on the founder's academic authority, books on Brazil's Tax Reform launched across three continents, and participation in dozens of professional associations (OAB, FIESP, FIEG, ACMINAS, ABDF, ABRADT, ABAT). The firm has no external investment, no proprietary technology platform, and operates with a very small reported headcount (1-10), making ACR essentially a high-leverage boutique built on regulatory expertise and reputational capital rather than scale.
