Grupo APOYO

What Grupo APOYO does

Grupo APOYO is a Peruvian professional services group operating under the parent company APOYO S.A., founded in 1977 by Felipe Ortiz de Zevallos as an economic opinion column during a fiscal crisis and evolved into a diversified advisory platform. The group is organized around three wholly-owned operating subsidiaries: APOYO Consultoría, which provides business advisory services in economics, finance, corporate finance, management consulting, and analytics, and houses the multi-client SAE (Servicio de Asesoría Empresarial) platform serving more than 300 corporate clients as well as AC Capitales for investment management; APOYO Comunicación, which delivers strategic communication, brand and reputation management, digital communication, internal communication, and sustainability advisory; and APOYO Gestión Operativa, which offers administrative management, personnel administration, legal and tax advice, and billing and collections. A separate social-impact arm, Instituto APOYO, designs and runs educational programs (Math for Everyone, Business for All, Science for All, Educational Management for All), and the group also publishes FOZ Books and Revista Debate as thought-leadership assets.

The firm operates exclusively in Peru with headquarters at Parque Rubén Darío 175, Miraflores, Lima, and more than 300 professionals working under the Grupo APOYO umbrella. Grupo APOYO is a private, founder-controlled corporation with no external parent company, no disclosed funding rounds, and no publicly disclosed revenue or pricing. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales through direct advisory engagements with corporate clients, supported by a content marketing engine of specialist articles, books, and earned media in major Peruvian outlets. The firm monetizes through professional services fees across consulting, strategic communications, administrative management, and investment management streams, with all revenue classified as professional services. AI capability is limited to an internal tool at APOYO Comunicación used to monitor more than 600 legislative bills for regulatory analysis; there are no disclosed proprietary AI products, research hires, or benchmarked models.

• FTI Consulting: Global advisory firm combining strategic consulting, corporate finance, and communications/public affairs — directly mirrors APOYO's three-pillar model (Consultoría + Comunicación + Gestión Operativa) and competes for similar C-suite mandates in Latin America.

Broad incumbents

• Bain & Company: Global management consultancy with established Latin American practice. Overlaps with APOYO Consultoría in strategy, corporate finance, and performance advisory for enterprise clients in Peru.

• Edelman: Global communications and public affairs firm with Latin American operations. Comparable to APOYO Comunicación on brand, reputation, and stakeholder advisory, with the advantage of multi-country reach.
• Deloitte: Big 4 professional services firm with deep Peru presence across consulting, tax, and advisory. Closely comparable to APOYO Gestión Operativa's administrative/tax/personnel services and competes for integrated enterprise mandates.
• EY-Parthenon: Strategy and transactions arm of EY with strong Latin American coverage. Competes with APOYO Consultoría on corporate finance and strategy mandates, while EY's broader practice overlaps with Gestión Operativa's tax/legal services.

Regional players
