What Centro de Diagnostico Automotor does

a&co – Auditoria, Consultoría, Outsourcing y Asesoría Gerencial S.A.S. is a Colombian professional services firm (S.A.S.) founded in 2012 and headquartered at Carrera 48 # 95-72 in Bogotá. It provides auditing, consulting, outsourcing, and management advisory services, with a primary specialization in the oil and gas sector covering operators, non-operators, service companies, pipelines, and hydrocarbons commercialization and transportation. Secondary verticals include industrial and commercial companies, pharmaceutical laboratories, technology firms, real estate holdings, and non-profit organizations. The core product portfolio comprises statutory/external/internal auditing, Finance-Accounting Outsourcing built on the ERP Siesa platform (delivering reporting under Colombian NCIF and IFRS), and Payroll Outsourcing on the Novasoft platform (covering social security, parafiscal, electronic payments, and withholding certificates for national and foreign employees). Adjunct advisory lines include information systems assessment, ERP implementation consulting (SAP, JD Edwards, IDEAS, SUN Systems), accounting process optimization, fixed asset and inventory control, hydrocarbons trading and transportation advisory, arbitration tribunal expertise, and business development consulting for M&A and project evaluation.

The firm operates under an ISO 9001-certified Integrated Management System (SIG) and is a member of AGN International, a global association of approximately 200 independent advisory firms in 80 countries. Revenue mechanics are engagement-based: pricing is quote-driven by scope, complexity, vertical, and client size, billed primarily through multi-year contracts delivered via direct partner-led enterprise field sales. Go-to-market relies on industry reputation, AGN International referrals, a bilingual corporate website (ayco-sas.com), and thought-leadership publications on transfer pricing and Latin American tax matters. Founding partners Néstor Raúl Riaño Delgado and Juan Carlos Buitrago Salazar bring experience from BP Exploration, Petrominerales, Emerald Energy, Ocensa, Gran Tierra Energy, and Ernst & Young's oil and gas audit practice, forming the firm's central expertise asset.
