Eight Advisory was founded in 2009 by eight partners from the Big 4, from industry, and from major operational advisory firms — all convinced that an independent actor, free from conflicts of interest and with fresh approaches, could deliver far more value for clients. What started in Paris has grown into a pan-European group with offices across France, the UK, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and the United States. We bring together multi-specialist teams with deep senior expertise across financial, operational, and strategic consulting — combining the right technical knowledge with a human, committed approach to solving complex problems.

We are a team of over 850 professionals including 100+ partners — senior experts who have built their careers in transactions, restructuring, and transformation. Our pan-European identity is not just a geographic footprint; it shapes the way we think and the way we work. We bring together financial analysts, operational advisors, tax specialists, strategists, and digital experts under one roof, deploying the right combination of skills to each client situation. No silos. No conflicts of interest. Just a single, committed team working alongside you.

We advise company managers, investors, and banks across the full spectrum of their most critical business moments — from M&A transactions and financial due diligence to restructuring, strategic transformation, finance function improvement, technology change, and ESG strategy. Whether you are a listed group, a private equity fund, a family-owned business, or a multinational, we tailor our approach to your situation and bring both the analytical rigour and operational experience needed to deliver concrete results.

Our purpose is to be your trusted business advisor — free from conflicts of interest, fully committed to your interests, and capable of accompanying you through the key stages of your business's development. We were created to become a reference consulting firm that combines financial and operational consulting under one roof, delivering the breadth of a large firm with the independence and commitment of a boutique.

We seek excellence in each of our actions — providing clients with precise, effective responses in both substance and form. Our resolutely human-oriented approach is reflected in the quality of our client relationships and in the attention we give to the well-being and professional development of our teams. We encourage the autonomy and entrepreneurial spirit of our people, both in how they work internally and how they engage with clients. These three values — Respect, Excellence, and Entrepreneurship — define who we are.

We are different because we are truly independent. With no audit arm, no software vendor relationships, and no conflicts of interest, our only agenda is yours. Our teams are composed of multi-specialists — many senior profiles with proven expertise — who bring both the right technical knowledge and a hands-on, committed approach. Our pan-European identity, covering 8+ countries and connected to Eight International's global network of 30+ countries, means we can act locally and reach globally. And because we combine financial, operational, strategic, tax, and ESG expertise in one firm, you never need to manage multiple advisors for a single complex challenge.

Eight Advisory is committed to a model of sustainability that reconciles the economy, society, and the environment, in order to better contribute to the well-being of its teams, its clients, and the world at large. We have developed a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme alongside a Social Outreach programme built around four themes: Youth Education, Entrepreneurship, Environment, and Solidarity. We actively engage our staff in initiatives centered on these themes, adapting to employee expectations while striving to have a positive impact on the communities around us. Eight Advisory also scored 99/100 on gender parity rankings, reflecting our commitment to an equitable workplace.

Our Social Outreach programme is built around four pillars — Youth Education, Entrepreneurship, Environment, and Solidarity — designed to engage our staff and generate positive impact in the communities where we operate. Across our European offices, our teams participate in charitable initiatives, sporting events for causes, and local partnerships that reflect our belief that a great firm must also be a responsible one.

At Eight Advisory, we are committed to creating an environment where gender diversity is valued, where all employees are treated equally, and where we work together on a daily basis in an inclusive way. We are proud to have achieved a score of 99/100 on gender parity rankings — a reflection of the progress we have made and the standard we hold ourselves to across our entire organisation.
