Duncan MacGregor Accounting was formed by its South African-qualified chartered accountant and founder, namely Duncan MacGregor. Duncan MacGregor moved to Portugal in 1986, having joined the Lisbon office of Arthur Young (now Ernst & Young) as a senior audit manager where he spent three years. Having declined a partnership offer, he re-established Duncan MacGregor Accounting in 1989, setting up an office in the Lisbon coastal resort town of Cascais. Duncan is a registered ROC ( Revisor Official de Contas) and was one of the first foreigners to obtain such status. After many years of moderate growth the establishment of the Golden Visa Program and Non Habitual Residence Tax regime by the Portuguese authorities has increased the demand for tax and accounting services.
