LISACCOUNT

What LISACCOUNT does

LISACCOUNT is a Portuguese outsourced business services firm founded on May 21, 1982, in Oeiras, Portugal (originally as Cimarconta, rebranded to LISACCOUNT in 2001). The company provides integrated accounting, tax compliance, payroll/HR, management consulting, and ongoing management support services to small and medium enterprises, primarily in the Lisbon region. Services are delivered either on-site at client premises or remotely through a 100% digital model.

The firm's technology foundation is the Centralgest Cloud platform, a client-facing portal that enables remote access to account movements, statements, ledgers, and management reports. Revenue mechanics combine recurring monthly accounting and management reporting with project-based professional services for tax filings, payroll processing, and consulting engagements. The client base spans hospitality, fishing/maritime, healthcare, environmental services, and logistics, with named references including Alcotrans (client since 1983), Fisio Roma (~20 years), Resiambiente SA, Porto Fino, and Lenda Fidalga (managed remotely from Brazil).

LISACCOUNT operates as a privately-held, founder-owned business led by Dra. Cidália Marques as Administradora since founding, with Dr. Afonso Marques Vilela serving as Client Manager — suggesting family involvement. The firm appears bootstrapped with no external funding, no disclosed revenue, and no listed subsidiaries or M&A activity. Marketing is conducted through a company website, blog content, and direct contact channels (email, phone, WhatsApp), with client acquisition driven largely by referrals and long-standing reputation.
