What Proclama does

Proclama Società per Azioni tra dottori commercialisti is an Italian professional services firm headquartered in Catania, Sicily, structured as a multi-partner public limited company among chartered accountants, labor consultants and statutory auditors. The firm delivers accounting, tax and labor compliance, corporate restructuring (mergers, spin-offs, transformations, capital increases), and ongoing advisory for Italian capital companies. It operates through five offices across Catania, Giarre, Linguaglossa, Rome and Turin, with 6 partners, 6 employees and over 20 collaborators.

The firm has built niche service lines around three high-complexity segments: (i) innovative startups and innovative SMEs, including startup incorporation, capital increases, crowdfunding and venture-fund support; (ii) cross-border e-commerce and web agencies, with explicit specialization in OSS/IOSS VAT regimes and non-EU jurisdictions; and (iii) subsidized financing and tax-credit advisory covering Transizione 4.0, bonus sud, regional instruments (Finpiemonte, Irfis, Finlombarda) and MISE vouchers. A 'Business process management & business intelligence' offering extends into workflow automation and strategic BI support for both clients and partner professionals.

Commercially, Proclama runs a direct, sales-led engagement model targeting Italian SMEs, startups and innovative companies, with lead generation supplemented by the evoluzione.pro professional network — a partner ecosystem led by Proclama as capofila and registered with the Italian Chamber of Commerce since January 2022. The firm is bootstrapped, founder-owned (Giovanni Emmi as Founder/CEO, Rosario Petralia as Founder/Chairman, Rosario Emmi as Founder), and discloses no institutional capital, public pricing or software product distribution. Technology footprint is limited to standard website/content and social channels (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube); no proprietary platform, app, API or AI/ML capability is indicated.
