Argo supports PIA Group in strategic Belgian acquisitions
Argo assisted PIA Group, a leading name in the Belgian and Dutch accountancy sector, with its latest series of strategic acquisitions. These transactions involved the addition of four prominent accountancy firms: A&T Partners (Leuven), Factum Fiscalis (Kapellen), Emendo (Kapellen and Lier) and Verschaeren & Mertens (Mechelen). This set of acquisitions further bolsters PIA Group’s growing market presence and sector expertise across Belgium and the Netherlands.
Our team guided PIA Group through the entire transaction process, conducting legal due diligence and supporting the drafting and negotiation of transaction and closing documents. Several selling partners from the acquired firms demonstrated their confidence in PIA Group’s unique growth model by reinvesting part of the transaction proceeds.
By acquiring these four firms, PIA Group reinforces its ambitious growth trajectory, solidifying its position as a dynamic consolidator in the accountancy and advisory sector.
The Argo team included Bert Van Ingelghem (Partner), Mattias Verbeeck (Partner), Pierre Accou (Associate), Daan Vernimmen (Junior Associate) and Guido Platteau (Junior Associate).
