What Uhy Fay & Co does

UHY Fay & Co is a Spain-based professional services firm delivering integrated audit, tax, legal, advisory, corporate compliance, ESG/sustainability, and business services to primarily mid-market companies, with secondary practices for high-net-worth individuals, public sector entities, non-profits, and multinational groups. The firm operates through seven offices across Spain — Madrid (headquarters), Barcelona, Málaga, Marbella, Santander, Granada, and Santiago de Compostela — staffed by more than 150 professionals organized into specialized but cross-functional teams that deliver solutions as a single integrated unit. As a founding member of the UHY International network, the firm extends its delivery capacity to clients operating in 100+ countries through 300+ member offices, and is connected to the UHY Ibero-American Network.

The corporate entity Uhy Fay & Co Group S.L. holds seven wholly-owned subsidiaries that compartmentalize the practice lines: Fay & Co Advisory, UHY Fay & Co Auditores Consultores, UHY Fay & Co Tax and Legal, UHY Fay & Cointegra Soluciones Sostenibles, UHY Fay & Co Business Services Madrid, UHY Fay & Co Holding Spain, and Rose & Clavel Chartered Accountants. The firm's revenue model is fee-for-service professional engagement, with services sold directly through its office network (sales-led motion) and supplemented by content marketing (blog, Snack Talks video series, sustainability publications), newsletters, and joint events with financial partners such as Banca March, Santander, Renta4, and APD. There is no proprietary technology platform; service delivery relies on professional judgment, with cloud accounting as the only explicitly named digital product.

The firm positions itself among the top 20 professional services firms nationally and internationally and claims 40+ years of operating history, with primary clientele in Spanish mid-market companies typically generating €10M–€100M in annual revenue, often family-owned businesses. Its value proposition is a one-stop-shop model combining tax efficiency, regulatory compliance, M&A advisory, family business succession, internationalization support, and emerging-tech advisory under a unified brand. The firm maintains no app, no public API, and no disclosed AI platform, and has not raised disclosed external funding.
