  • Please tell us about your professional experience and how you ended up in the JUST Advisors team?
My career includes over 15 years of experience in finance, accounting, and tax consulting. This journey started with accounting and financial analysis, and then it developed further.

 JUST Advisors stands out for its professional standards, innovative approaches, and diverse clientele. It was important for me to work at a company that not only provides accounting services to businesses but also plays the role of a financial partner. Here, I had the opportunity to use my experience to develop financial strategies for companies in various industries.
  • What are the main challenges foreign and Georgian companies face in the Georgian tax system?
Although Georgia offers a relatively attractive tax environment for foreign companies, businesses still need to overcome various administrative and tax barriers. The diverse and frequently changing tax regulations require businesses to continuously monitor and adapt to new rules and regulations.
