What Aarón Silva y Asociados, S.C. does

Aarón Silva y Asociados, S.C. (ASA) is a Mexico-based professional services firm founded in 1999 that delivers specialized consulting, advisory, and analytical studies to the Mexican Financial System, government authorities, and international development organizations. The firm's portfolio spans sustainable finance, corporate governance, integral risk management auditing, anti-money laundering (PLD/FT) compliance, financial inclusion, and corporate financial restructuring. Service offerings are organized into three lines: Asesoría (advisory), Consultoría (consulting), and Estudios (studies), delivered through a team of partners and associated consultants supported by a national and international expert network.

The firm's core client base comprises Mexican banks, development banks, non-banking financial institutions, popular savings and credit cooperatives, federal and state government agencies (SHCP, SEMARNAT, CONABIO, state governments), state productive enterprises (PEMEX, CFE), and multilateral or bilateral development institutions (BID, World Bank, PNUD, USAID, GIZ, KfW, AFD). Long-standing relationships with institutions such as Nafin, Bancomext, FIRA, Banobras, Banorte, and Buró de Crédito anchor a roster that combines recurring institutional clients with project-based engagements funded by international cooperation agencies.

The business model is sales-led and project-based, with revenue derived from direct consulting engagements and advisory retainer arrangements quoted per project. ASA operates from a single headquarters in Coyoacán, Mexico City, and reports a team of approximately 18 people (including ~8 named senior professionals). There is no proprietary technology platform; the firm's competitive differentiation rests on partner expertise, regulatory credentials (CNBV certifications for AML/prevention-of-illicit-resources work, SAT/IMSS/INFONAVIT dictaminador authorizations), and an academic footprint via ITAM, UNAM, INAP, Anáhuac, and CEMLA. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no public financial statements.

Broad incumbents

• PwC Mexico: Big 4 advisory practice with deep Mexican financial-sector exposure across risk management, AML, governance, and sustainable finance — competing with ASA for SHCP, CNBV, and development-bank engagements.
• Deloitte Mexico: Big 4 firm with a large financial-services advisory practice in Mexico covering risk, compliance, governance, and sustainability — directly competing for the same institutional and government mandates as ASA but at greater scale.
• EY Mexico: Big 4 firm with financial-services consulting and AML/risk advisory practices in Mexico, regularly engaged by SHCP, CNBV-aligned institutions, and commercial banks for the same type of work ASA performs.

• AON Mexico: Global risk and insurance advisory firm with a Mexican financial-services practice covering enterprise risk management and governance — competes for institutional risk and governance mandates that overlap with ASA's UAIR and corporate governance offerings.

Direct peers

• Alvarez & Marsal Mexico: Global restructuring and financial advisory firm with a Mexico office focused on financial-restructuring, risk, and performance improvement — directly competing for the corporate restructuring and financial-institution advisory engagements that ASA's Reestructuración Financiera para Empresas service line targets.

Others

• Centro de Estudios Monetarios Latinoamericanos (CEMLA): Latin American central-bank research and training center; ASA is already a documented strategic partner. CEMLA is a peer/ecosystem participant in financial-sector research, remittances studies, and capacity-building across the region.
