Abako

What Abako does

Abako Partners is a private, boutique management consulting firm headquartered in Las Condes, Santiago, Chile. Founded in 2009 and operating with approximately 9 employees, the firm advises senior executives, directors, and family business groups on strategy, corporate governance, financial structuring, complex negotiations, and sustainable finance. Its service portfolio spans six core lines — Consultoría, Estructuración Financiera, Control Financiero y de Gestión, Negociaciones, Gobernanza, and Finanzas Sostenibles — delivered through a direct, senior-partner engagement model with Victor Toledo Sandoval (Socio Fundador) and Eric Daniels (Socio) personally leading client work.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform or product; its offering is purely advisory. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales with consultative, personalized outreach via a "Conversemos" call-to-action, supported by thought-leadership content, a newsletter, and co-hosted executive events such as the 2025 breakfast with Grant Thornton Chile at Club de Golf 50. Distribution is direct and relationship-based, primarily within Chile with stated South America market coverage. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured on a per-engagement, negotiated basis consistent with professional services norms.

In 2025 Abako formalized a strategic alliance with Grant Thornton Chile intended to integrate advisory with audit capabilities and broaden joint offerings. The firm has not raised institutional funding, does not disclose revenue, and operates from a single office location, making it a tightly scoped, partner-led advisory practice rather than a scalable professional services platform.
