About TMG Books
At TMG Books, we believe that fast and transparent accounting services, combined with actionable insights, drive real business growth. We deliver monthly financial control, in English, for expats and SMEs across Italy.
Who we are
TMG Books was founded by Alessandro Badalamenti in Florence, Italy. Alessandro built The Makeover Group to solve a problem he experienced firsthand: international entrepreneurs and expats in Italy deserve financial services that speak their language, literally and commercially.
We are a bilingual team of accountants, financial controllers, and strategic advisors. We work with single freelancers, growing SMEs, and large contractor teams. Same standards. Same monthly financial control, in English.
TMG Books costs 20% to 30% less than your traditional accountant, all while delivering higher-value activities tailored to your business needs.
How we work
Most accountants in Italy file your taxes once a year. We keep your books current every month, so you always know where you stand.
Every report, every conversation, every deadline notification. In English. From a bilingual team based in Florence.
No per-question billing. No surprise invoices. One flat monthly fee that covers bookkeeping, reporting, and compliance.
You chose Italy for the life.
Not the paperwork.
