(03) — The founder

Two decades in M&A, controllership & cross-border finance.

MAUA is led by Rafael Dantas — a finance executive with 20+ years in mergers & acquisitions, controllership, financial planning, internal controls, auditing, and treasury. He is currently a finance executive at Universal Studios (a U.S. Fortune 500), and has held an executive role at one of the ten largest companies in Brazil.

He has led due-diligence and post-merger integration across Brazil, the U.S., Mexico, Argentina, and the UK — and now brings that discipline to founders building in Florida.

(04) — How we work

Order is the method.

Four principles that hold every engagement to the same standard.

01

One firm, the full arc

From company formation and bookkeeping to valuation and M&A — the same team carries you the whole way up.

02

Assessment first

Numbers before opinions. Every recommendation rests on a clear read of the financial position and the risk.

03

Three languages

English, Spanish, or Portuguese — every filing, statement, and conversation in the language you think in.

04

One system, full visibility

Every service runs on the Maua platform, and you watch it all from your own private client portal.
