SW International is pleased to announce the admission of a new member firm in Spain, effective 1 January 2023, expanding our global network and enhancing our service offerings in Europe.
Mr. Zhang Ke, Chairman of SW International said, "Through months of engagement including undertaking a comprehensive mutual due diligence process, we formed the view that our core values, culture and mutual aspirations for global development were aligned. Their admission will be of significant benefit to clients of our international network which will considerably enhance our client services in Europe. We also look forward to having the opportunity to serve the Spanish clients, which are continuing to invest globally into markets where SW International has a significant presence.”
Mr. Marco Carlei, Managing Director of SW International, said, “This expansion demonstrates our commitment to the region as we continue to grow across Europe. Our Spanish firm is a highly reputable professional practice with global links and will play an important role in our SW network supporting our cross-border client base internationally particularly in Europe."
Ms. Loreta Calero Pérez, CEO of SW Spain, said, “We are confident that our firm is a strong fit in vision and purpose for the SW network. We are proud of our 30-year history of delivering exceptional client service focused on local, national and global collaboration, as well as our agile, innovative and creative teams. Joining the SW network marks a crucial stage in our growth journey, that we take the lead in driving successes to match the evolving needs of our partners, clients and people."
Mr. Alvaro Pericas, Partner of SW Spain, said: "Over the past 40 years, Spain and China have strengthened the bilateral relationship in all areas, which is also reflected in China’s position as Spain's third largest export market. This presents increasing opportunities for us to help our clients achieve growth not just in China, but also across Latin America, North Africa and Asia. Leveraging our strength in the European Union, we are excited that we shall bring our cross-border client services to a new height."
The new member firm was formerly a member of a top ten international network with offices in different cities in Spain. The firm specialises in providing industry-focused audit and assurance, accounting, tax, legal and advisory services throughout Spain and neighbouring regions.
