About CAIC
CAIC was born in the Canary Islands with a clear mission: to improve business performance and, consequently, financial results. We work with SMEs and business groups in Gran Canaria, Tenerife and the rest of the islands, as well as in mainland Spain and Venezuela.
Founded by Juan José Vera Díaz, with over 25 years of experience in senior financial management at major international groups — from Arthur Andersen in Venezuela to FTI Group in Munich, including Ernst & Young and Meliá Hotels Internacional.
Our differentiating proposition: we combine the rigour of traditional strategic and financial consulting with artificial intelligence solutions, data analytics, cybersecurity and technology integrations. A combination no other provider in the Canary Islands offers today in an integrated way.

Frequently asked questions
We answer the most common questions about our consulting and technology services in the Canary Islands.
We work primarily with SMEs and business groups in Gran Canaria, Tenerife and the rest of the islands, as well as in mainland Spain and Venezuela. Our clients typically have between 10 and 500 employees and operate in sectors such as distribution, tourism, industry, retail, services and technology. There is no minimum size — what matters is the commitment to improvement and the willingness to achieve measurable results.
The first step is a diagnosis of your current processes to identify where AI can generate the most value with the least effort. Common use cases: customer service automation, financial report generation, sales data analysis, or automation of repetitive administrative processes. You don't need a large IT budget — with the right tools, a Canary Islands SME can implement AI in weeks, not months.
An external financial controller is a professional who takes on the management control functions of your company on an outsourced basis — management dashboard, monthly reporting, variance analysis, preparation of information for investors or financial institutions. It is ideal for companies in the Canary Islands that need this level of financial control but do not yet have the volume for a full-time CFO. The cost is a fraction of a salary, with the experience of a top-level executive.
It depends on the type of project, but in our experience: process improvements and financial control usually generate visible results in 3–6 months. Strategic transformation or AI implementation projects can have short-term impact (efficiency, cost reduction) and build long-term value (new revenue streams, competitive advantage). Our track record with clients in the Canary Islands consistently shows an ROI above 3x.
A cybersecurity audit assesses the current state of your company's security: vulnerability analysis of systems and infrastructure, review of access and password policies, GDPR and ENS compliance evaluation, risk and potential incident analysis, and staff training. The result is a detailed report with action priorities and an improvement plan tailored to the size and sector of your company in the Canary Islands.
Yes. Although our main base is the Canary Islands, we work with companies throughout mainland Spain and have direct experience in Venezuela, where Juan José Vera developed part of his career at Arthur Andersen. Projects with companies outside the Canary Islands are managed remotely with occasional in-person visits when the project requires it. For Venezuela, our experience in the local economic and regulatory environment is a key differentiating advantage.
