What VB Partners does

VB Partners, legally known as Viotto Battiston & Partners, is an Italian professional services firm that has operated continuously since the 1960s, originally as a traditional accounting practice and today as a multidisciplinary advisory firm. It is headquartered in Motta di Livenza (TV) and operates two additional offices in Oderzo (TV) and Tai di Cadore (BL), serving entrepreneurs, SMEs, and industrial/commercial organizations across Italy with selective international support through a network of tax and legal professionals. The firm is structured as a partnership led by five Senior Partners (Carlo Battiston, Francesco Viotto, Nadia Baldissin, Barbara Cescon, Daniele Pessa) together with additional partners and a total team of approximately 22 professionals, of whom 13 are chartered accountants and statutory auditors (Dottori Commercialisti and Revisori Legali).

The firm's offering is organized around two core service lines. Consulenza continuativa covers ongoing accounting, tax compliance (including VAT and Intrastat), relations with the tax administration, statutory audits, and appointments such as bankruptcy trustee. Consulenza strategica covers management control, industrial plans, competitor/client/supplier analysis, extraordinary transactions (mergers, demergers, acquisitions), corporate internationalization, and business-crisis consulting — including negotiated crisis resolution under D.L. 118/2021. The firm also holds sector-recognized roles such as OdV under D.Lgs 231/2001, assists with European Commission project evaluation and EU funding applications, and provides mediation for civil and commercial disputes.

Revenue is generated on a professional services basis through fee-for-engagement work and recurring compliance mandates; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is sales-led, anchored by direct client relationships and referrals in the Veneto region. Distribution combines in-office advisory delivery with a digital client portal (Area riservata) powered by TeamSystem Digital for electronic invoicing and document archiving, supplemented by content-led demand generation through the firm's bilingual website, VB Podcast on Spotify, VB News, and periodic educational events and publications. No funding rounds, acquisitions, or external investors are disclosed; the firm remains a privately held partnership with no parent company or institutional ownership.
