The route
7 chapters, in order
From the first step to the last, in the order you will live them.
Where you start
You ask Daniela who does whatMap who does what over Daniela’s voice note, recognize NIT and razón social in the wild, read a sample factura electrónica field by field, learn company-form words without ever being told which one fits you, decode a municipio permit list, sort employment-admin words to the professional who owns each one, and walk into Lic. Mamani’s office with a sorted list of questions.
Start with Álvaro’s factura request and the honest line you don’t have a contador yet, Daniela’s long voice note maps the professionals and offices in play, and one trusted-recommendation ask gets you Lic. Mamani’s contact.
