What Consultores Sayma does

Consultores Sayma is a privately held Spanish professional services firm founded in 1970 and headquartered in San Sebastián (Donostia), operating four offices across the Basque Country and Madrid. The firm delivers an integrated multidisciplinary portfolio spanning seven practice areas: tax advisory (Asesoramiento Fiscal), legal advisory (Asesoramiento Legal), labor advisory (Asesoramiento Laboral), an International Desk for cross-border clients and inbound investors, Corporate Finance (M&A, valuations, restructuring), strategic consulting (strategy, efficiency, digitalization, and R&D funding advisory), and auditing (financial, compliance, and process audits). The customer base spans private and public companies, public entities, foundations, associations, and SMEs and family businesses, with notable engagements including audits for major Spanish financial institutions (Kutxabank, Grupo Santander, BBVA) and industrial groups (Grupo IBARMIA, Grupo GAURSA, Grupo REINER) as well as nonprofit Fundación Lantegi Batuak.

The firm's underlying technology stack is operationally rather than product-led: services are delivered by partner-led multidisciplinary teams, supported by a Microsoft 365/Azure infrastructure with Power BI-based reporting, an internally developed Documentary and Semantic Database to improve information reuse, and stated investment in Generative AI projects for internal process improvement and decision support. The firm operates a dedicated International Desk and is a member of HLB International, a global network of audit, tax, and consulting firms, enabling cross-border coordination. It maintains certified quality, environmental, and information-security management systems (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO/IEC 27001) and holds the regulatory credentials required to operate in Spain (ROAC, ICJCE, AEDAF).

The business model is relationship-based professional services: revenue derives from customized advisory engagements — tax, legal, labor, corporate finance, consulting, and audit work — typically structured as multi-year contracts or project-based fees billed on scope and complexity, with some Corporate Finance work on success-based arrangements. Go-to-market is sales-led and field-based, with dedicated business development professionals coordinating commercial activity across all four office locations in Donostia/San Sebastián, Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz, and Madrid, complemented by content marketing (Sayma Actualidad newsletter, regional investor guides) and direct enterprise outreach to corporate clients, public entities, and associations. Two legal entities comprise the group — CONSULTORES SAYMA SA (San Sebastián, A20098570) and SAYMA MADRID SL (Madrid, B86623667), the latter a wholly owned regional entity. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
