Fizz: Automating Taxes & Cutting Business Bureaucracy in Portugal | Good Morning Portugal

On the Good Morning Portugal show, Carl interviews Mike from Fizz, a tech-based financial assistant designed to reduce the bureaucracy of running a business in Portugal, especially around understanding, calculating, and filing taxes. Mike explains that Fizz automates tax calculations and filings, sends users alerts, and helps entrepreneurs stay calm by largely removing the need to manage taxes manually. He also previews a new dashboard launching this month that functions like a financial director, giving visibility into cashflow and financial position to help small business owners manage money better. They discuss how Fizz translates “accountancy language” into normal language, supports personalization, and uses an AI agent that tracks legal changes to interpret taxes correctly amid rapid growth and frequent rule updates.
