Accounting advisory
Accounting advisory is the foundation on which a business builds its decisions: reliable, orderly and readable numbers are what allow those who lead the company to choose with full awareness.
For over thirty years Di Girolamo Consulting has designed and overseen the accounting systems of businesses, turning accounting from an obligation into an instrument of governance.
What is meant by accounting and compliance advisory
By Accounting & Compliance we mean the design and maintenance of accounting systems, the measurement of performance, the preparation of the annual financial statements and the structuring of adequate administrative and accounting arrangements, consistent with the nature and size of the business.
It is the set of activities that make a company measurable, orderly and reliable — towards itself, towards its banks, towards third parties.
A growing business needs an accounting system that grows with it. Well-kept accounting is not bureaucracy: it is the map by which the entrepreneur navigates.
The term compliance, in particular, refers to the orderly fulfilment of accounting and corporate obligations: not an end in itself, but the condition for the business to be readable and reliable in the eyes of those who observe it from outside — banks, shareholders, potential investors.
Adequate administrative and accounting arrangements
Since 2019, the Italian Business Crisis Code has required companies to put in place adequate administrative, organisational and accounting arrangements.
More than an obligation, it is a competitive advantage: it means equipping the business with measurement and control tools calibrated to it, capable of signalling in good time what needs to be corrected.
We help the company build these arrangements concretely, not formally.
In practical terms, having adequate arrangements means having procedures and indicators that flag imbalances in good time — in liquidity, in margins, in financial equilibrium — before they turn into problems.
For a business aiming to scale up, it is also the language in which to engage with the financial system: orderly and timely numbers are the basis of trust.
Our method: measure before deciding
Accounting is what cannot be seen but holds everything up: it is the foundation on which growth rests.
Without solid foundations there is no scaling up. Our method starts from measurement — reliable data, management control, indicators calibrated to the business — because sound decisions are only made on numbers one trusts.
We build the base, so that the entrepreneur can concentrate on the choices.
We do not impose a standard model: we build the system around the business, around its size and its sector, so that measurement genuinely serves decision-making rather than filling in schedules.
That is the difference between accounting that is merely endured and accounting that works for the entrepreneur.
The areas of Accounting & Compliance
The pillar is organised into two complementary areas of work.
-
Accounting services
the setting up and keeping of the accounts, management control, financial statement analysis and preparation of the annual accounts. Numbers as a tool for building well.
-
Company secretarial and corporate services
management of recurring corporate obligations, statutory books, shareholders' meetings and dealings with the Companies Register. Corporate order as a form of reliability.
Who we work with
We work alongside businesses led by entrepreneurs focused on medium- to long-term growth: solid companies operating in manufacturing and services.
We support them throughout Italy with the same underlying principle: the relationship comes before and goes beyond any individual service.
Accounting advisory in Milan
The Firm is based in Milan, at Via Felice Casati 3. From here we handle the accounting and compliance obligations of businesses in Milan and Lombardy, and provide continuous support — including remotely, with cloud accounting tools — to companies in the other regions where we operate.
Every relationship, however, begins in the same way: with a meeting.
It covers the setting up and keeping of the accounts, management control, financial statement analysis, performance measurement and preparation of the annual accounts, as well as the definition of adequate administrative and accounting arrangements. They are the set of procedures, tools and measurement systems that allow a business to monitor its own situation and detect signs of imbalance in good time. Since 2019 they have been a legal duty, but above all they are an advantage for those looking to grow in scale. Accounting records and orders company events according to the rules; management control uses that data to measure performance and support decisions. The first is the reliable base, the second is the instrument for steering the business. Yes. Much of the accounting work is carried out effectively with cloud tools, which allow continuity and data sharing at a distance. This is how we support businesses across eight regions of Northern and Central Italy, while keeping the closeness of a dedicated team. Anyone who has to decide with full knowledge of the facts: knowing margins by product, line or order makes it possible to direct investment and correct course in good time. Management control that is lean yet calibrated to the business makes the difference between intuition and awareness.
