Multi-Jurisdictional Health Industry I had the classic “entrepreneurial seizure” in the U.S. about 15 years ago. I quit my job and opened a business. With no previous experience running a business, I soon found that there were many more requirements than just having a good idea. SmartSourcing got me compliant with tax filing, bookkeeping, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and payroll and has continually provided these services for me for some 15 years. Thank you SmartSourcing! Contact Us Here. New Mexico Resident Rancher I met Andrew and his company SmartSourcing Business Solutions LLC, 20 years ago when we stayed at Chosa Manglar Nature Retreat in Puerto Jimenez, Costa Rica. We planned on staying one night but wound up staying a week and because of Andrew and SmartSourcing we decided to buy a place in Puerto Jimenez. They helped us find the perfect place for the perfect price and helped with getting all the paperwork done correctly, which wasn’t common back then. In the last 20 years Andrew and SmartSourcing have been my go to problem solvers. They are extremely knowledgeable and honest and have assisted me with many problems over the years. They absolutely can take care of any problems that a person could have. I put them above any lawyer in the whole country, and if you need a lawyer, they can help with that too. Andrew and SmartSourcing are the most exceptional business collaborators I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Pura Vida! Contact Us Here. Costa Rica Resident Longtime Atenas Resident I’ve owned a rural property in Costa Rica for 20 years. When I did a house renovation 12 years ago I needed reliable domestic help with real management skills to keep the place in good shape while away periodically for extended time periods. SmartSourcing has provided this service reliably and with vetted and legal staff ever since. My family and I couldn’t be more pleased with SmartSourcing! Contact Us Here.

He understood I was a "newbie" and showed me patience and a genuine interest in helping me. Andrew knows the importance of creating a 'win-win' in business. Since my first visit, Andrew has continued to assist me in my business decision-making processes and planning as I navigate life in Costa Rica. I trust that Andrew has my best interest at heart and will continue to guide me as I learn the legal system, business management, residency, and land ownership. For those called to Costa Rica, SmartSourcing is the company to contact . Contact Us Here. Greg - Multi-Jurisdictional Costa Rica Resort Owner “We first met Andrew long before we had the idea to move to Costa Rica and develop our own business. It was his energy, his vision, seeing what he had already created in Puerto Jimenez, Costa Rica, as well as his intriguing ideas that encouraged us to try our own endeavors in the Osa Peninsula. Several times, Andrew helped guide us towards solutions when we thought we’d actually met some insurmountable issues. Although we had, in our lives, both taken the paths less travelled, it really turned out to have made all the difference when we look back and remember how it all came together. If you need assistance setting anything up in Costa Rica, Andrew Gray at SmartSourcing is the Smart Move.” Contact Us Here.
