Geneva Consulting Group

What Geneva Consulting Group does

Geneva Consulting Group (GCG Consulting) is a private management consulting firm headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, that operates as the dedicated advisory unit of GGI Global Alliance — a worldwide network of independent professional services firms. GCG provides advisory, strategy, growth, expansion, and internationalisation consulting services delivered through member firms that span accounting, tax advisory, legal, and business consulting disciplines. Within the alliance, GCG Capital operates as a focused sub-unit for capital and M&A dealmaker activities.

The GGI Global Alliance network that GCG anchors comprises 912 offices across 126 countries, employing 32,000+ professional staff and 4,200+ partners, with cumulative fee income of USD 6.578 billion. GCG itself functions primarily as a coordination and facilitation entity rather than a traditional operating company: it organises recurring programming (Practice Group Quarterly Calls, Regional Chapters, EasyMeet for emerging leaders, Trans-Atlantic Online Meetings, the annual GGI World Conference), curates thought-leadership content, and routes cross-border advisory mandates to member firms. GCG maintains offices in Geneva (Avenue de Miremont 8 B, 1206) and Zurich (Hagenholzstrasse 56, 8050); the parent entity GGI Global Alliance AG is registered in Baar, Switzerland under company number CHE-108.453.995.

GCG's go-to-market is referral-driven and relationship-led, leveraging the GGI network to source cross-border mandates. Customer logos include a roster of large European corporates (TIM, Enel, Ferragamo, Giorgio Armani, Dolce & Gabbana, Zegna, Diesel, Benetton, Lavazza, Sofidel, Piaggio, Fincantieri, Saipem, JCDecaux, Victorinox, Kartell, Ferrovie dello Stato, YOOX, Illy, Carraro, Danieli, Adler Pelzer Group, Fontana Gruppo, ionair). Pricing is engagement-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue derives from professional advisory and consulting fees billed across the alliance.

It is a broader incumbent operating at greater scale than GCG, offering overlapping cross-border advisory and corporate finance services to mid-market and enterprise clients.
• Grant Thornton International: Grant Thornton is a major global accounting and advisory network serving mid-market and enterprise clients with cross-border capabilities.
