The accounting profession is undergoing a radical transformation. Between digitalization, regulatory volatility, and economic instability, Italian businesses need a new kind of professional: not merely a consultant, but a strategic partner. Dr. Angelo Barone, founder of Barone Sviluppo Impresa, is among the professionals redefining this role by introducing predictive logic, continuous monitoring, and control systems that anticipate problems before they arise.

Dr. Barone, what does “preventive taxation” mean?
The traditional method is reactive: you analyze the past and tell the entrepreneur what they will have to pay. Preventive taxation turns this approach upside down. Twelve forecast financial statements—one for each month—make it possible to anticipate the tax burden and intervene in real time. There are no unexpected taxes: every decision is based on simulations and strategies consistent with the company’s objectives.
Real-time accounting: how important is it for management?
It is crucial. It prevents surprises such as last-minute F24 payments or tax increases linked to unexpected profits. It allows you to monitor all tax and financial factors, including VAT, which—although it is a pass-through item—has a real impact on liquidity: an F24 must be paid immediately, while a refund can take years. Our approach is not limited to recording numbers: it involves the entrepreneur in data analysis as the data is being generated. The goal is twofold: to legally optimize taxes and duties, and to transform accounting into an operational system for management and planning. In this way, the entrepreneur can compare turnover with the previous year, anticipate deadlines, make strategic decisions, and plan fiscally advantageous actions.
Why is continuous monitoring so crucial?
Many problems arise from the lack of timely information. Monthly checks intercept imbalances and optimize margins and tax pressure. You should not wait for something to happen—you should act so that it does not happen.
Personal assets: why protect them?
Many entrepreneurs underestimate risks outside the company. Crises or disputes can jeopardize personal assets accumulated over years of work. We build corporate structures that separate the private and business spheres, ensuring continuity and security.
What is the philosophy behind Barone Sviluppo Impresa?
Taxation is a resource, numbers are tools to govern the future, and the entrepreneur is not left alone in front of regulatory complexity. We guide choices, not deadlines. This integrated approach makes the difference for many businesses.
