Four vendors, one shell
Buying tax, director, bank, and payroll as separate lines is how files drift. One missed RSV because ‘that was the other mandate’ is how a mothball becomes a reconstruction.
- Tax filed, director gone — returns rejected
- Director in place, account frozen — tax unpaid
- One leftover employee not on the tax calendar
- Four English reports that do not match
What it is
Large firms sell ‘care and maintenance’ as a bundle. We do the same for a residual Russian entity, inside a New York contract: filings, director, address, the ruble amounts the calendar still demands, and any leftover employment paper — reported in English on a monthly cadence.
The parent still does not file, sign, or pay in Russia. The affiliate does. Where the subsidiary cannot be funded from the U.S., we pay the ruble tax bill from the affiliate’s in-country balance and you reimburse Colibry LLC in dollars, to a U.S. bank. If the board later resolves to liquidate, the retainer is the running start: books current, director reachable, calendar paid.
What is in scope — and what is not
We do
- The tax cycle (including nils) and the English calendar
- Nominee director, registered address, EGRUL hygiene
- Ruble tax-payment administration from in-country balances — including an advance from the affiliate, reimbursed to Colibry LLC in USD
- Residual payroll / labor close-out or mothball payroll
- Rosstat and the notices that still apply to this OKVED
- One monthly English digest covering all of the above
- A copy pack structured for the parent’s auditors
We do not
- Voluntary liquidation (separate project, once the board resolves)
- FTS field-audit defense as a surprise inside the retainer — that is a new scope
- IT hosting, unless added as a line
- Any prohibited commercial activity
How the work runs
-
01
Diagnostic or kickoff
If you do not yet have a path, we write the options paper first. If mothball is already the decision, we skip to the pack.
-
02
Onboard
Director, address, bank, tax calendar, people census — two to three weeks.
-
03
Run
Monthly digest. Four-week warnings. Same-cycle FTS paper.
-
04
Exit the retainer
Into liquidation, or into a thinner line if the board cuts further.
Calendar
| When | What |
|---|---|
| Weeks 1–3 | Onboarding |
| Monthly | Single English digest and one invoice |
| Quarterly | CIT / VAT / accounts as they fall |
What we need to start
Missing items are a workstream, not a reason to wait. A signed note that a year of filings does not exist is more useful than another month of silence.
- The week-one pack: extract, charter, last filings, 1C or a gap statement, director list, bank if any, leftover FTS letters
- A one-line board objective: mothball
Reporting
One monthly English digest. One invoice. Copies held for parent-audit requests.
Who it is for
Parents that have decided not to liquidate this year and need the entity quiet, current, and explainable.
We will not take
- A going concern that is still trading in Russia
- A file that is already an open field audit — start with defense
Fees and start
Fixed-scope engagements with fees agreed in advance. Pricing is set after an initial consultation at no charge. Onboarding 2–3 weeks. Then monthly until you change the path. See how the New York contract works and the week-one document pack.
