Daniel Diosi & Partners

What Daniel Diosi & Partners does

Daniel Diosi & Partners is a Malta-based advisory firm founded in 2012 by Daniel Diosi, operating with 1-10 employees. The firm provides independent financial governance for marketing and business spend, helping executive teams evaluate cost-to-KPI relationships and reallocate capital to bottom-line drivers. Its value proposition rests on the claim that up to 70% of marketing spend may fail to contribute to tangible business outcomes, and that standard agency and internal reporting structures are structurally conflicted in identifying this inefficiency. Target customers are C-suite leaders at established and growth-stage companies managing marketing outlays of €10,000+/month.

The core technology is the proprietary Cost Impact Monitor, a SaaS platform configured directly around each client's live operational and financial records to track cost-KPI relationships. The firm offers three service modules: Initial Assessment (evaluation and tailored roadmap), Cost-KPI Tracking Platform Setup & Advisory (turnkey platform deployment with continuous executive advisory), and Custom Enterprise Integration (embedding the framework into existing Power BI, Tableau, or SAP ecosystems with zero-disruption architecture and native board reporting). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; contracts range from multi-year assessment engagements to annual subscriptions for platform and enterprise tiers, with payments processed in EUR and USD via Stripe.

The business model combines professional services revenue (advisory, assessment, enterprise integration) with recurring SaaS subscription revenue. Go-to-market is sales-led and content-led: an extensive blog (74 pages, 666+ articles by the founder), a daily email newsletter, and a published book on Amazon (ASIN B0H7P111HP) serve as top-of-funnel authority assets, while direct consulting outreach targets executive buyers. The firm is privately held and founder-owned, with no institutional investment, parent company, or subsidiary structure disclosed.
