Alma Consulting

Alma Consulting is the French leading provider of specialist tax consulting to corporations. Its areas of expertise cover land tax, research tax credit, VAT, social charges, etc.

Chequers took over Alma from the American group PRG in partnership with its CEO Marc Eisenberg.

Value creation

Alma enjoyed very fast growth from 2001 onwards, with a fivefold increase in turnover linked to its highly effective success fee based business model, a service greatly appreciated by its customers and an expansion of its service offering. Alma also acquired its main competitor, the CFC group, in 2005. Chequers sold part of its investment in 2005, and fully disposed of its stake to a UK PE fund in 2007.
