Il international consulting group Fidinam expands its presence in the Chinese market, strengthening its operational network in the country's main economic hubs. The expansion is being achieved through two strategic moves: the acquisition of a service provider operating in Guangzhou and the opening of a new branch in Beijing.
The move consolidates an already established presence in the Greater China region, where the group now has a coordinated platform that includes offices in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Beijing, and Hong Kong. The goal is to ensure greater proximity to clients and support both inbound investments into China and the operations of Chinese companies and investors abroad.
According to the company, the growth of its operations in the region reflects its desire to support businesses and private clients operating in an increasingly integrated economic environment characterized by intense trade and financial flows.
Guangzhou, the economic gateway to the Greater Bay Area
A key aspect of this expansion is Guangzhou, one of the most dynamic cities in southern China and a strategic hub of the Greater Bay Area (GBA). This economic region, which includes some of the country's major industrial and technological centers, continues to see significant growth in international trade and investment.
To accommodate this growth, Fidinam acquired a well-established local operator, which now operates under the group's brand. The new entity, Fidinam Guangzhou, offers a wide range of professional services to both businesses and individual investors.
Services include company incorporation, accounting, human resources management, tax compliance, and local compliance activities. These are complemented by tax and estate planning services, consistent with the multidisciplinary consulting model developed by the group.
At the helm of the Guangzhou office is Franco Fornari, Managing Partner and foreign legal consultant with over twenty years of experience in China. He emphasizes that joining the group's international network will further expand the services offered while maintaining a strong understanding of the local context.
"Joining Fidinam allows us to strengthen our client services while maintaining our personalized approach and understanding of the local market. With the support of an international consulting group, we are ideally positioned to assist businesses and individuals in developing their business in the Greater Bay Area," said Fornari.
A new branch in the Chinese capital
Alongside its expansion into the south of the country, the group has opened a new branch in Beijing. The presence in the capital aims to strengthen its presence in northern China, offering assistance to local and international companies with their regulatory and administrative compliance needs.
The new office is part of the territorial coverage strategy launched in previous years, allowing the group to more closely monitor companies operating in one of the country's most significant political and economic areas.
Alessandro Pedrinoni, CEO Asia Pacific of Fidinam, recalled that the Greater China region has long represented one of the pillars of the company's international strategy.
"Greater China is a strategic market for Fidinam. Fifteen years after opening our first office in Hong Kong, we are further strengthening our presence with new offices in Guangzhou and Beijing and the introduction of services dedicated to specific business communities," explained Pedrinoni.
DACH Desk for German-speaking customers opens in Shanghai
Among the innovations introduced in 2026 is the opening of a DACH Desk within the Shanghai office. The service is dedicated to companies and investors from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland and will be led by Heiko Brenner, German professional with long experience in the mainland Chinese market.
The desk will be responsible for assisting German-speaking clients with corporate, tax, and accounting matters in China, as well as supporting cross-border investment transactions.
The initiative responds to the growing demand for consultancy from European companies interested in the Chinese market, particularly in an economic context in which trade relations between Europe and Asia continue to evolve.
A consolidated presence in Asia-Pacific
The expansion into China is part of a broader regional strategy. Fidinam has been operating in the Asia-Pacific region for over fifteen years and has offices in several key jurisdictions, including Hong Kong, Vietnam, Australia, China, and Singapore.
Globally, the group also maintains an extensive presence in Europe and the Middle East. Its multidisciplinary teams offer services ranging from corporate advisory to international tax, accounting, and trust services, assisting companies and investors in managing businesses and investments across multiple jurisdictions.
In an economic context characterized by increasing interconnection between markets, strengthening its presence in the Chinese market represents a further step in the group's international development strategy.
