What Business Advisors does

Business Advisors, commercially known as Grupo Asesores en Negocios (GAN), is a Mexico City-based multidisciplinary professional services firm founded in 1997 by C.P.C. Eduardo García Hidalgo. The firm operates through nine wholly owned specialized subsidiaries covering accounting (Asesorías Especializadas en Negocios), auditing (García Hidalgo Velázquez González), human capital management (Entorno Corporativo), tax advisory (García Hidalgo Tax Advisors), non-bank financial services for SMEs (Compromiso que Suma Valor, operating as a SOFOM), administrative outsourcing (AIRIS), wealth management and multi-family office services (WISDOM Family Office), equipment leasing (Arrenda Click), and fiduciary and trust services (Muga Fiduciaria, launched 2026). GAN employs approximately 450 specialists across multiple Mexico City offices and serves a client base that includes SMEs, high-net-worth families, and enterprise clients such as IBERIA, Fogo de Chão, Ling Ling, and Notaría 122.

The firm's revenue model is fee-based professional services with quote-based pricing structured around client operational volume, required resources, and work complexity, delivered primarily through multi-year advisory contracts. Distribution is relationship-based, with a dedicated commercial team (Equipo Comercial) coordinating cross-sell across subsidiaries, supported by content marketing channels including a Spotify podcast, YouTube, newsletters, and thought leadership articles in Forbes, El Economista, and El Financiero. GAN's technology stack relies on industry-standard accounting and enterprise software (Aspel, ContpaQ, SAP) rather than proprietary platforms. The firm holds membership in the Leading Edge Alliance (LEA), one of the largest global associations of independent accounting and consulting firms, providing international resource-sharing capabilities. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.

Strategic significance has been demonstrated through organic expansion into adjacent service lines rather than acquisitions, with key moves including the 2012 launch of SOFOM Compromiso que Suma Valor for SME credit, the 2020 partnership integration of textile executive Abraham Cohen Mizrahi, and the 2026 launch of Muga Fiduciaria to enter the fiduciary services market. The firm has received recognition as a top-100 accounting firm by the Instituto Mexicano de Contadores Públicos and as a top-100 tax specialist firm by Defensa Fiscal. Ownership remains concentrated in the founding García Hidalgo family, with no identified external institutional capital or private equity backing.

Broad incumbents

• PwC Mexico: Big Four firm with audit, tax, and consulting practices in Mexico and global footprint. Directly comparable to GAN's tax (GHTX) and audit (GHVG) service lines for enterprise and mid-market clients, but operates at much larger scale and competes for the same multinational mandates GAN serves.
• KPMG Mexico: Big Four firm providing audit, tax, and advisory services in Mexico with deep enterprise penetration. Comparable on tax advisory (GHTX), audit (GHVG), and broader consulting engagements; also a former employer of GAN partners (César Aguilar Aguilar), making it a direct competitor for technical talent.
• EY Mexico (Ernst & Young): Big Four firm with full-service audit, tax, consulting, and transactions practice in Mexico. Direct competitor to GAN across accounting, audit, tax, and human capital advisory; pressures GAN's ability to win and retain large enterprise clients like IBERIA.
• Deloitte Mexico: Big Four firm in Mexico covering audit, tax, consulting, financial advisory, and risk. Competes directly with GAN's integrated advisory model and has the resources to dominate enterprise mandates GAN targets through AEN, GHVG, and GHTX.
