VISEO acquires AKC and strengthens its Finance Transformation expertise
Paris, 18 May 2026 – VISEO, a global digital and business consulting company, announces the acquisition of AKC (Advance Knowledge Consulting), a Lucca‑based Italian consulting firm recognised for its expertise and Platinum Partner status in the CCH Tagetik solution for multi‑sector clients.
This strategic acquisition marks a key milestone in VISEO’s ambition to accelerate the development of its global Finance Transformation and performance management capabilities.
Founded in 1986, AKC has quickly established itself as a leading player in the design and deployment of the CCH Tagetik solution. After strengthening its historic footprint in Italy, the company expanded internationally with the creation of AKC North America in 2023 and AKC Nordic in 2024.
AKC has built an international reputation as a trusted partner supporting finance departments facing challenges related to performance management, consolidation, reporting and compliance.
As a Platinum partner of CCH Tagetik in France, VISEO has developed strong expertise in the digital transformation of finance departments over the years. The combination of VISEO and AKC comes at a time when international regulatory frameworks are becoming increasingly complex and performance pressure continues to rise.
Today, the digitalisation of the finance function is no longer optional - it is a strategic lever. The objective is clear: to support CFOs in their consolidation work and address the key priorities of their strategic agendas, including performance management, compliance and process optimisation on a global scale.
“We are particularly delighted to welcome AKC to our group. As a leading CCH Tagetik partner across several international markets, we share the same vision of a modern, connected and value‑driven finance function. Together, we are combining our expertise to offer finance departments high‑value support that meets the highest international standards and sustainably strengthens their growth trajectory.”, Eric Perrier, CEO VISEO
“This merger enables us to take a significant step forward in our international development. By joining VISEO, we expand our delivery capabilities and combine our strengths to offer our clients even more robust support, backed by global expertise and reinforced execution capacity.”, Andrea Petretti, CEO AKC
