Sescon Goias

What Sescon Goias does

Sescon Goiás (legal name: Sindicato das Empresas de Serviços Contábeis e das Empresas de Assessoramento, Perícias, Informações e Pesquisas do Estado de Goiás, "SESCON/GO") is a first-degree non-profit trade union founded in 1992 and headquartered at Rua 107, nº23, Setor Sul, Goiânia, Brazil. It is the legally designated representative body for accounting services firms and advisory, expertise, information, and research companies operating in the state of Goiás, with statutory authority to negotiate collective labor agreements and to advocate before federal and state entities including Receita Federal and the Ministry of Labor. Sescon Goiás operates as part of the national FENACON federation system, which collectively represents approximately 400,000 companies across Brazil's services sector.

The union's core offerings are member services rather than commercial products: collective bargaining negotiation and homologation (Convenções Coletivas), legal advisory (Assessoria Jurídica), a member business lounge (Sala do Empresário), auditorium rental, an on-site Receita Federal service desk (Posto da Receita), digital certificate distribution via the FENACON CD channel, and continuing education courses (Cursos e Treinamentos). Underlying technology consists of a digital member-services portal with online course delivery and a Chat RFB integration for federal tax service access; no proprietary software products, APIs, or AI/ML systems are disclosed. Revenue is generated through four streams: mandatory Sindical Patronal union dues from member firms, Assistencial Patronal assistential contributions, course and training fees, and auditorium rental — with no public pricing disclosure for dues.

The entity is led by President Edson Cândido Pinto (2023–2026 term) and operates with a lean staff of 1–10. Its distribution and partnership network includes the FENACON federation, the regional accounting council CRCGO, Banco Sicredi for financial services, Zurich for insurance, EX Soluções for innovation in accounting, the Seacom employee union for collective bargaining, and a broad convênio network of educational institutions (Pitágoras, Unyleya, Uned) and service providers offering member discounts. The 2023 "Most Influential Entity in the State in Digital Certification" recognition and ongoing participation in national advocacy initiatives such as the Tax Reform Seminar (Edição Centro-Oeste) position the union as a regional authority on tax and labor matters for the accounting sector.
