Buenos Aires accounting firm Gizzi & Payaslian(GP) joins Alliott Group.

With the addition of the Buenos Aires based GP, Alliott Group now has 12 members in 8 countries within its Latin America membership.

Mariano Payaslian of GP stated that the reason behind the firm joining Alliott Group was, ‘the need for delivering high quality services to our clients demanded us to join a formal global alliance of firms. Our clients perform operations not only in Argentina but throughout Latin America and we needed an alliance of firms capable of providing a single approach in all countries, with a coordinated view and a single sourcing for accounting, tax and legal services’.

With the economic importance of the region growing as other markets suffer during the current economic downturn, Alliott Group is actively seeking to consolidate its presence throughout the region.

James Hickey, Assistant Executive Director commented that, ‘consolidation of Alliott Group’s worldwide presence is at the core of our strategic plan so we are delighted that GPM have decided to join. The clients of our member firms are seeking quality assistance in all geographies. To have a firm of GPM’s standing join our group, in what is a most important market both in a regional and global context, is of great value to us’.

James went on to state that, ‘as businesses of all sizes reevaluate how they source their professional services during this economic downturn, Alliott Group members are well placed to provide a true alternative to the larger accounting practices. By providing local partner led support in a timely and cost efficient way, whilst also having the ability to utilize the regional and worldwide resources offered by the membership as a whole, firms like GPM are well placed to service clients of all sizes ’.
