Through SMS Argentina, Giagante Accounting has been a part of the SMS Latin America network since its foundation.
SMS Latin America is a regional network made up by independent professional firms in the areas of accounting, auditing and consulting, which share state-of-the-art technology to offer their clients the best services, assisting companies and other organizations in Latin America in their trade and industrial operations and services.
Being made up by independent national firms of the highest professional standards, SMS Latin America is the only professional organization in the continent which has true Latin American values in their services to all global companies which base their operations in the region. Covering the whole of Latin America, the firm prioritizes national expertise over firms whose headquarters are outside of the continent, facilitating the creation of Latin American multinationals, allowing them to expand to the rest of the world while keeping their methodology and culture.
Its success is based on specific knowledge in each situation, always able to provide a fitting response. This is achieved only through belonging and being an active player in the region.
SMS Latin America was founded with the conviction of the need for a professional firm that could understand the Latin American situation at its core, to be able to work with a global vision of business and contribute to the region’s economic development.
The SMS Latin American network has 1,767 professionals, as members of firms or representatives, in the following countries: Argentina, Bahamas, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, the United States, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, México, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay and Venezuela.
According to the survey carried out by the International Accounting Bulletin on auditing and consulting firms, in January 2012, SMS Latin America ranked at number 21 in the global list of networks, and at 9 in the Latin American rank, as can be seen in the following document:
SMS Latin America is the only Latin American firm which is a member of the Forum of Firms, an organization which brings together several international auditing networks within the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC).
