A Worldwide acquires Fides Auditores to expand in Spain

✦ Meridian Analysis

A Worldwide has signed an agreement to acquire Fides Auditores, a Valencian audit and forensic‑consulting firm. The deal adds roughly 50 professionals and close to €2 million of annual revenue to A Worldwide’s Spanish arm, which already reports €27 million in 2025 turnover and a staff of 200. From A Worldwide’s perspective the transaction is a territorial expansion that deepens its presence in the Spanish middle market and adds to its global network of more than 100 000 professionals. For Fides, the integration means retaining its existing team while gaining access to A Worldwide’s international methodologies, technology platforms and cross‑border capabilities. The mechanics are those of a straight acquisition – the buyer absorbs the target’s staff, contracts and revenue stream – rather than a carve‑out or joint venture, and no external financing or lender participation has been disclosed. Deal terms, including the purchase price, any earn‑out or multiple, and the composition of the financing package, were not disclosed. Information on advisers, regulatory clearances and the expected timetable for full integration remains pending, and will be essential for assessing the transaction’s impact on A Worldwide’s balance sheet and on the competitive dynamics of the Spanish middle‑market advisory market.
