Tempo: your Strong Law and Compliance client portal

Tempo began as an internal solution developed more than 15 years ago by the firm then known as Strong Abogados.

International clients operating in Spain needed a clearer way to exchange documents, follow recurring obligations and work with advisers across different professional areas. Tempo developed in response to those practical needs.

As the firm evolved into Strong Law and Compliance, the platform continued to grow alongside its legal, tax, accounting, payroll and compliance services.

Strong Law and Compliance's tax professionals and accounting team manage tax advice, accounting and filings where those services have been engaged. Tempo supports document access, communication and workflow coordination, but it does not provide advice or file taxes by itself.

VeriFactu is Spain’s new electronic invoicing and traceability system, created under Royal Decree 1007/2023. It requires all invoices to include QR codes, hash chaining, and event logs to prevent tampering.

• ⬤ Companies: mandatory from January 1st, 2027
• ⬤ Freelancers: mandatory from July 1st, 2027

Any specific VeriFactu functionality depends on the exact software product and configuration being used. Strong Law and Compliance can advise clients on the Spanish invoicing requirements that apply to their situation.

No. Tempo is the Strong Law and Compliance client portal. It is not a government body, is not part of Incwell, does not provide professional advice and should not be described as a certified advisory service. Professional responsibility remains with the relevant Strong Law and Compliance professional.

Where a client uses QuickBooks, Xero or another tool, Tempo may support document exchange and workflow coordination around that work. Any invoicing or VeriFactu claim must be checked against the exact software product and configuration in use.

Yes. Tempo can be used as the client portal for document access, communications and recurring compliance workflows even when a client does not use QuickBooks or Xero.

When you join, we create your first user in the system, and you can then add colleagues or collaborators where appropriate. Each user can be granted customized permissions depending on their role.
You can choose from six types of access:

• ⬤Employees – view their own payslips and related documents.
• ⬤Accounting – view accounting documents, financial statements, and uploaded records.
• ⬤Tax Forms – access to all filed tax forms and related deadlines.
• ⬤Billing – view invoices issued, received, and payment summaries.
• ⬤Companies – full access to company registration files, deeds, CIF, VAT registration, and NIE documents.

This flexibility allows every organization to collaborate efficiently while keeping sensitive data visible only to authorized users.

Yes. Strong Law and Compliance can support company formation, accounting, tax, payroll and administrative steps in Spain. Tempo can then be used as the client portal for documents, communications and recurring matters from the start of the relationship.

Tempo uses role-based access and secure online transmission. Clients should use the portal for the matters and documents coordinated by Strong Law and Compliance, and should contact the responsible professional if they have questions about data handling for a specific matter.
