RCPA

What RCPA does

RCPA (Representations & CPA Company CA) is an Ecuadorian professional services firm headquartered in Quito that delivers accounting, audit, legal, recruitment, start-up, and corporate finance services. The firm operates a multi-city footprint across at least six Ecuadorian markets—Quito, Cuenca, Guayaquil, Ambato, Riobamba, and Ibarra—and markets more than 18 years of category experience, with regulatory authorization (RNAE 1451) to perform external audit under Ecuador's National Registry of Auditors.

The service portfolio spans accounting outsourcing (encompassing tax consulting), internal and external audit, recruitment and selection, start-up services, corporate finance consulting, and legal services. The firm does not operate a proprietary technology platform; day-to-day operations are supported by third-party tools including Facturero Movil (invoicing), cPanel webmail, and TimeCamp (time tracking). Its public web presence is bilingual (English/Spanish), and the firm publishes blog-style content under a "Discover" section.

RCPA runs a fee-based, sales-led professional services model. Go-to-market is direct, with WhatsApp Business as the primary inbound channel and a website-driven content marketing motion. The firm targets three stated segments—small businesses and start-ups, medium-sized enterprises, and large enterprises—and offers bundled advisory across accounting, tax, audit, legal, and finance, which functions as a cross-sell mechanism to deepen client wallet share.
