Introduction
Arrel Consultors was founded by Juan Ignacio Alfonso, an economist with an MBA from IE Business School and an active CFO with over 30 years of senior management experience in mid-sized companies.
He has served as General Manager and CEO across multi-entity business groups, managing large teams and reporting to Boards of Directors. He knows business from the inside: he has made decisions, navigated complex situations, and delivered results in real organisations.
Arrel Consultors was built on a simple conviction: SMEs and self-employed professionals deserve the same level of financial expertise as large corporations — without the cost of a full-time hire. That is exactly what we offer.
How we work
We operate as a flexible structure, adapting the level of involvement to each company’s specific needs. Our approach is based on a collaborative model that brings together different professionals depending on the situation:
✔ Trusted accounting and advisory firms
They provide the tax, accounting, and labor support required to ensure that financial decisions are fully aligned with day-to-day operations.
✔ Other financial professionals
Analysts, controllers, and specialists in treasury management or advanced reporting. We collaborate with them when a case requires deeper analysis or highly specific expertise.
✔ Law firms and legal experts
Many executive decisions—such as restructurings, investments, or shareholder agreements—require well-coordinated legal support.
We act as an external financial core, relying on the professionals each company needs, without forcing it to build internal structures it cannot sustainably maintain.
What we bring
- Clear insight into the company’s real financial situation
- Temporary leadership during periods of change
- An independent external perspective
- Prioritization and focus
- Direct support to management and ownership
- Coordination with accounting firms and external advisors
- Methodology and continuity
