A CASE STUDY
Helping healthy food grow across Europe.
Simplifying a Spanish CPG company's growing European operations.
OUR CLIENT
Our client is a Spain-headquartered consumer packaged goods (CPG) company specializing in healthy and plant-based foods. As the business grew, it expanded its operations across Europe, with an increasing presence in the UK, France, Germany and Italy. As the business expanded, it needed to maintain oversight from Spain while ensuring that each local operation had the accounting, tax, compliance and corporate filing support needed to operate effectively.
THE CHALLENGE
As the company entered new markets, each operation was being managed locally through separate, local providers. While this approach supported the initial expansion, it created a fragmented operating model across accounting, tax, compliance and corporate requirements. Coordination across markets was limited, making it more difficult for the business to maintain a consistent view of its European operations. The company needed a more unified way to manage its growing European footprint while maintaining central oversight from Spain.
OUR SOLUTION
Amesto Global helped bring the company’s local operations together into a more connected and coordinated model across all markets.
Our solution included:
-
Unified operating model: Transitioned responsibilities from the existing outsourced provider structure to Amesto Global across the UK, France, Germany and Italy.
-
Financial management: Managed accounting and financial reporting across markets while providing local support for VAT compliance, year-end reporting and corporate income tax requirements.
-
Local operational support: Established a consistent foundation for ongoing corporate, compliance, payroll and employment requirements in each market.
-
Single point of contact: Created a more streamlined way for the client to manage its growing European operations while maintaining oversight from Spain.
THE OUTCOME
With a more connected operating model in place, the company was able to manage its growing European operations with greater consistency and coordination. The new model provided:
-
Greater coordination across markets
Local requirements continued to be supported while responsibilities were managed through a more unified structure.
-
More consistent financial operations
Accounting and financial reporting were coordinated across the four markets.
-
Central oversight with local support
The company maintained oversight from Spain while having access to local expertise where needed. -
A stronger foundation for continued growth
The operating model was designed to support the company's ongoing expansion across Europe.
the takeaway
International growth should open new opportunities, not create unnecessary complexity. Amesto Global helped the business simplify how they operate across markets so they can focus on where they are going next.
