Tendências Consultoria Integrada

What Tendências Consultoria Integrada does

Tendências Consultoria Integrada is a Brazilian economic consulting firm founded in 1996 and headquartered in São Paulo's Jardins district. The firm delivers specialized advisory across five service areas: Economia do Direito (economic analysis for judicial, arbitral, administrative and tax proceedings), Finanças Corporativas (asset valuation, M&A, optimal capital structure, and ESG-integrated financial analysis), Infraestrutura (demand studies, concession and PPP structuring, and feasibility studies in transport, sanitation, energy and telecom), Macroeconomia e Política (economic scenario construction and political analysis), and Análise Setorial e Regional (sectoral, regional, and income-class analysis with proprietary indices). Engagements are custom project-based studies and recurring advisory deliverables rather than packaged software.

The firm operates a senior partner-led model, with partners including a two-time former President of the Banco Central do Brasil, a former Finance Minister, and competition economists internationally recognized by Who's Who Legal Thought Leaders and Leaders League. This talent base underpins work for marquee clients such as FEBRABAN (Brazilian Federation of Banks), ABCR (Brazilian Association of Highway Concessionaires — partner since 1999 and creator of the ABCR Index now used in IBGE GDP calculation), the World Bank, and ANA (Brazil's National Water Agency). The firm's projection accuracy has placed it consistently in the Top 5 of both the Banco Central Focus report and the Ministry of Finance's Prisma Fiscal evaluation.

Revenue is generated through project-based professional service fees on custom economic, financial, regulatory, infrastructure, and litigation engagements, with distribution handled exclusively through direct partner-led engagement — no resellers or intermediaries. Headcount is reported in the 101–250 band with 11 listed sócios (partners), consistent with a profitable, self-funded boutique consultancy. The company holds no funding rounds, has no parent or subsidiaries, and is privately held, with no public revenue disclosure. Recognition is extensive, including 9 consecutive years of Leaders League Leading Firm status in litigation economics (2018–2026), GCR 100 inclusion, and international individual recognitions for partners.
