PKF International

What PKF International does

PKF International Limited is a UK-coordinated global network of legally independent accounting and advisory firms, founded in 1986, that delivers audit, tax, legal, consulting and outsourcing services to business clients across multiple regions including Europe, the Middle East and India. The organization operates as a franchise-style coordinating platform: PKF International Limited itself does not provide services to clients, but rather coordinates member firms such as PKF Attest in Barcelona, Spain (Pl. de Catalunya, 1, Eixample, 08007), which is described as the 8th largest auditing firm in Spain and operates additional offices in Valencia, Bilbao, Donostia San Sebastian, Madrid, Sevilla, Vitoria Gasteiz, Malaga, Pamplona, Valladolid and Alicante, with 90% of staff on permanent contracts.

The network's product portfolio spans core professional services — Audit & Assurance, Tax Services (business tax, transfer pricing, indirect taxes, global mobility), Legal Services and Business Solutions — alongside higher-growth advisory categories including Corporate Finance Advisory, Digital Advisory & Cyber Security, ESG Advisory, Forensics, Governance & Risk and a Hospitality Consulting specialization. Member firms deliver these services directly to enterprise and mid-market business clients under a unified PKF brand, supported by six stated organizational values: Collaboration, Experience, Practical approach, Client Commitment, Integrity and Effort and success.

The business model is a coordinated professional services network: revenue is generated at the member firm level through direct professional services engagements, while PKF International Limited captures value through brand licensing, network coordination and shared methodology. The 'PKF' and PKF logo are registered trademarks used across the network. No pricing models, revenue figures, funding rounds, M&A activity, investor composition or management team details are disclosed in the available source data, and PKF Attest's listed contact is David Cañabate Clau ([email protected], +34 936 110 066).
