Degrassi&Partners

What Degrassi&Partners does

Degrassi & Partners is an Italian accounting, tax, legal, and business consulting partnership founded in 1988 and headquartered in Trieste, with a secondary office in Udine. The firm employs approximately 12-13 qualified professionals, including commercial accountants (dottori commercialisti), legal auditors, and specialists, operating under the legal name Degrassi & Partners (also doing business as DEGRASSI, SIARD & ASSOCIATI). It serves Italian and international businesses across corporate consulting (extraordinary operations, M&A, due diligence), tax consulting (national and international planning), legal consulting (corporate, contract, labor, tax litigation), and accounting/audit services, with specialized practices in start-ups and innovative SMEs, sustainability/ESG advisory, fintech consulting (via the Activant CONSOB-authorized crowdfunding platform), wealth protection through trust structures, and professional sports associations.

The firm generates revenue primarily through professional consulting fees charged on a project or retainer basis, with multi-year contracts for recurring services such as statutory audit, fiduciary board appointments, and ongoing tax/accounting compliance. Distribution is direct and field-based, delivered through the Trieste and Udine offices to enterprise and mid-market clients. The firm markets through educational Circolari newsletters, an email newsletter, industry events (e.g., Confires 2022), and earned media coverage of regulatory topics. No digital product or software platform is operated by the firm; technology is limited to digital communications and integration with the Activant crowdfunding platform.

The firm's primary differentiator is its international consulting network spanning 14+ countries (including Bulgaria, Croatia, Malta, Russia, Poland, Romania, Turkey, Hungary, and others), with formalized partnerships with primary law firms in Sofia and Malta and a Russian consulting presence dating to 1989. It holds no external investment, has no parent company, and operates as a traditional Italian professional partnership. Revenue and funding are not publicly disclosed.
