What Kerval Advisory Partners does

Kerval Advisory Partners, S.L. is an independent, partner-owned financial advisory firm headquartered in Madrid, Spain, that delivers corporate finance, transaction, restructuring, and management support services to middle-market companies, financial sponsors, and listed corporates. Its offering is organized into four core service lines — Strategy & Valuation (S&V), Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A), Capital Advisory & Restructuring (CA&R), and Management Support (MS, including outsourced CFO Office and Interim Management) — and is supplemented through the ECOVIS Spain partnership with Audit & Assurance, Consulting, Legal Advisory, and Accounting & Tax services.

The firm operates a senior partner-led engagement model with no proprietary technology platform; its product is human expertise delivered through fee-based advisory mandates. Documented engagements cover 200+ companies, €20bn+ in corporate transactions, and €3bn+ in financing and debt restructuring across 10+ countries in Europe, the US, Latin America, and Asia, with named mandates spanning blue-chip corporates (Repsol, BBVA, Citi, Toyota, Roche, NH Hoteles, Gas Natural Fenosa, Henry Schein) and financial sponsors (Permira, PAI, CVC, EQT, Investindustrial, Trilantic).

Kerval monetizes through professional services fees on project-based mandates, with revenue streams from advisory, due diligence, valuation, capital raising, restructuring, and ongoing management support. Its primary distribution advantage is its membership in ECOVIS International, a top-12 global professional services network providing access to 90+ countries, 10,000+ professionals, and US$3.2bn in global revenues, which enables cross-border mandates and integrated multi-disciplinary delivery that the firm could not build independently at its current scale.
