• Braintrust, a Spanish consulting firm specializing in high-value services driven by data and technology, becomes a member of Andersen Consulting
• Andersen Iberia and Andersen Consulting operate as independent entities, both in terms of corporate structure and management, while leveraging business collaborations and synergies

 Andersen is redefining the professional services landscape with the launch of Andersen Consulting, a global consulting practice that integrates innovative business strategy, digital transformation, and AI-driven technology solutions with Andersen Global’s world-class tax, legal, valuation, and global mobility expertise. Andersen’s conflict-free approach provides an independent alternative to traditional consulting models by putting a client–first commitment at the heart of our success.

In Spain, Braintrust Consulting, a consulting firm specializing in strategic business advisory services with a strong data-driven and technological focus, becomes a member of Andersen Consulting and will adopt the Andersen Consulting brand. Led by Juan Bosco de la Rocha, Braintrust has a track record of more than 20 years with projects in more than 20 countries, and is focused on highly competitive sectors such as telecommunications, banking, insurance, energy, tourism, hospitality or retail, counting among its clients with Ibex 35 companies. Braintrust also has operations and a team in South America, with a particular focus on Chile. As a member of Andersen Consulting, Braintrust strengthens its commitment to offering high-value consulting services tailored to the local market.

Globally, Andersen Consulting, which already has more than 3,000 professionals, will offer consulting services in seven practice areas: Strategy, Human Capital, Business Transformation, Sustainability, Technology & Platforms, Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity.

Andersen Iberia (the Spanish member firm of Andersen Global) and Andersen Consulting are independent entities from both a corporate and management perspective, although they have a strong relationship and will explore collaborations and synergies in various business areas. Teams from both organizations have been collaborating in different fields of specialization, such as Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity, and Hospitality, in which they have highly specialized professionals, to design complementary value propositions for their clients.

Beyond sharing the Andersen name, Andersen Iberia and Andersen Consulting share a common culture shaped by the core values of quality, specialization and excellence in client service, as well as a business strategy centered on high-value services. The launch of the consulting practice marks a significant step in Andersen’s broader strategy to expand and strengthen its service offerings while firmly ruling out any future plans to develop an audit division.

At Braintrust we have always thought big and since our beginnings we have had a clear global vocation that now, as part of Andersen Consulting, becomes a reality. Being a member of Andersen Consulting allows us to enrich and share our capabilities, culture and values with all the Andersen Consulting professionals, as well as with the more than 19,000 professionals spread across more than 500 locations that provide legal, tax, valuations and global mobility services as a part of Andersen Global.” In this line, deepening in the value of being part of Andersen Consulting, Juan Bosco de la Rocha adds: “In our case, in Spain, we have the immense luck to share market with Andersen Iberia, one of the largest law firms in our country, led by José Vicente Morote, with whom we have already begun to collaborate and with whose culture and values focused on excellence and people we feel tremendously identified.

As we have seen in the first months of work between Andersen and Andersen Consulting, the synergies in order to offer our clients a more sophisticated, complete and robust value proposition are enormous”, says José Vicente Morote, who emphasizes that “the key to the success of our first joint steps is sharing with Juan Bosco and his entire team a culture based on excellence and a business approach of high value-added services.

Braintrust, now a member of Andersen Consulting, is keenly focused on five areas of business: Strategy and Competitive Intelligence, which seeks to understand, improve and plan the competitive position of companies in the medium and long term; Studies and Quantitative Modeling, which brings companies closer to understanding the current configuration and future evolution of the market, customers and value proposition; Data Driven Customer Experience, which aims to design and implement digital and offline experiences that improve the performance of the business and organizations, based on data analysis; Advanced Analytics & Artificial Intelligence, focused on leveraging the potential of data and AI to maximize business results; and Value Process Operation, assuming or participating in the operation of highly specialized processes with great impact on the performance of the organization.

Andersen Iberia will enhance and expand its legal and tax services by integrating business and operations analysis capabilities, leveraging the power of data technology through its collaboration with Andersen Consulting. Meanwhile, as a member of Andersen Consulting, Braintrust will provide its clients with access to the expertise of more than 90 Partners and 400 professionals at Andersen Iberia, offering specialized knowledge in all areas of business law, as well as deep sector-specific expertise across various industries.
