ILIA ETL GLOBAL Strengthens Its Growth in the Balearic Islands and Completes the Union of Confialia, Asefco and SAG Legal

The firm consolidates its presence in Mallorca with the full union of Confialia, Asefco and SAG Legal under a unified corporate identity. The process, which began in 2025, forms part of ILIA ETL GLOBAL’s expansion strategy. With more than 125 professionals, the firm combines the experience of established local practices with a multidisciplinary structure and international reach.

ILIA ETL GLOBAL has completed the union of Confialia, Asefco and SAG Legal, consolidating its presence in the Balearic Islands, where the three firms now operate under a single brand. This milestone concludes the process initiated in 2025 and strengthens a business advisory project that brings together the experience of long-established teams in Mallorca, professional expertise and the resources of a larger organisation.

The union marks another milestone in the growth of ILIA ETL GLOBAL, as the firm has progressively expanded its geographical presence by incorporating professional practices with in-depth knowledge of their respective markets; the most recent to join is ETL SAG Legal.

This new chapter strengthens the firm’s ability to support businesses, self-employed professionals, investors and individuals through its offices in Palma de Mallorca and Alcúdia, maintaining close relationships with local clients while providing access to specialists across different areas of business advisory services.

The incorporation of Confialia, Asefco and SAG Legal in April 2025 marked a significant step in ILIA ETL GLOBAL’s expansion in the Balearic Islands.

Confialia, founded by Germán Pérez, brought more than two decades of experience in tax, accounting, employment and legal advisory services in Mallorca. Asefco contributed more than 25 years of experience in the north of the island, with particular expertise in meeting the needs of businesses operating in the tourism sector.

Since then, the teams have progressively brought together their structures, processes and resources, developing a more coordinated approach to their work and a shared corporate identity.

The completion of this process in 2026 represents more than a change of trading name. It consolidates an organisation that brings together the experience of the firms that have joined, the expertise of their professionals and the ability to collaborate across different practice areas and offices.

This model preserves the trusted relationships built with clients over many years while expanding the resources available to support their business needs.

The consolidation of operations in the Balearic Islands forms part of a growth strategy that ILIA ETL GLOBAL has been pursuing for more than a decade.

Founded in Barcelona in 2010, the firm began operations with a team of three people. In 2016, it became part of ETL GLOBAL, marking the beginning of a new phase of development and expanded capabilities.

Since then, it has incorporated firms including Cot Consultoria, Gescobar Assessors i Consultors, Codina i Canalda and García Larraínzar in Barcelona, as well as ETL Maresme and Agesma in Mataró.

Expansion in Mallorca began in 2025 with Confialia, Asefco and SAG Legal, and continued in 2026 with the incorporation of Dr. Reichmann, a firm with extensive experience advising German-speaking clients.

These developments reflect a shared vision: to build a firm that combines the accessibility and local knowledge of established practices with a multidisciplinary, specialised and coordinated organisation.

In 2026, this journey is also reflected in the adoption of ILIA ETL GLOBAL as the common brand across its teams and offices.

Today, the firm has more than 125 professionals and a presence in Barcelona, Madrid, Mataró, Palma de Mallorca and Alcúdia. Its corporate development reflects the key milestones and incorporations that have contributed to its growth.

The union of Confialia, Asefco and SAG Legal consolidates ILIA ETL GLOBAL’s local presence in Mallorca through two offices that retain their teams and strong connections with the local business community.

At the ILIA ETL GLOBAL office in Palma de Mallorca, located on Carrer de Sant Miquel, the firm provides tax, accounting, employment and legal advisory services to businesses, self-employed professionals and individuals, including both domestic and international clients.

The Alcúdia office, formerly Asefco, located on Carrer de l’Estel, retains more than 25 years of experience advising businesses in northern Mallorca, particularly those operating in the tourism sector.

The new structure enables both offices to work in coordination with the wider ILIA ETL GLOBAL team, expanding opportunities for collaboration in areas such as tax planning, corporate legal advice, employment matters, corporate transactions and international business activities.

As a result, clients can continue working with their trusted advisers while gaining access to specialists from other areas of the firm whenever their projects require additional expertise.

One of the central pillars of ILIA ETL GLOBAL’s business model is the union of professionals with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise within a unified organisation.

The firm’s professional team covers tax, legal, employment, accounting and financial advisory services, as well as corporate transactions, among other disciplines.

In Mallorca, this model draws on the experience of Germán Pérez, founder of Confialia and Co-CEO for Operations, a lawyer and tax adviser with more than 25 years of experience in business advisory services.

This expertise is complemented by other professionals within the organisation, including Linda Käser, a partner at Dr. Reichmann specialising in non-resident taxation, tax residency and advisory services for international clients, particularly German-speaking clients.

The firm’s development strategy is also supported by Arnau Moranta, Co-CEO for Strategy at ILIA ETL GLOBAL, who specialises in the growth of professional services firms, organisational innovation and digitalisation.

Together, these profiles reflect the firm’s approach: combining local knowledge, specialist expertise, management capabilities and a shared business vision.

“Completing this union means consolidating a project we have been working on for some time. We remain a close-knit team that knows its clients and the business environment in Mallorca well, but we now have a broader structure and greater capabilities to support them in their projects,” explains Germán Pérez.

The union also strengthens ILIA ETL GLOBAL’s position in advising international businesses and investors with interests in Spain.

Mallorca has a business environment with a significant international client base and economic activities that require specialist knowledge in international taxation, real estate investment, wealth planning and business establishment.

ILIA ETL GLOBAL has professionals specialising in these areas, including advisory services for German-speaking clients, and provides advice for expatriates and international clients in Spain through its specialist teams.

These capabilities are further strengthened by membership of ETL GLOBAL, an international network comprising more than 1,400 professional firms across more than 60 countries.

The result is an advisory model that combines personalised service from Mallorca with access to specialist professionals and resources capable of addressing business needs at both national and international levels.

For Confialia, Asefco and SAG Legal clients, the completion of the union represents an organisational development that preserves their established relationships with trusted advisers.

Their existing professional contacts, personalised service and operations in Palma and Alcúdia continue under the shared ILIA ETL GLOBAL identity.

The unified structure also facilitates coordinated access to different areas of expertise and makes it easier to identify the organisation’s services and resources under a single brand.

This process is accompanied by the gradual updating of digital channels, documentation and corporate communication materials, with the aim of providing clients with a more consistent experience.

The legacy of Confialia, Asefco and SAG Legal therefore remains an integral part of the firm, contributing knowledge and experience to the continued development of ILIA ETL GLOBAL.

The full union of Confialia, Asefco and SAG Legal marks a further step in consolidating ILIA ETL GLOBAL as a business advisory firm and advancing its strategy of geographical growth and specialisation.

With a unified corporate identity, multidisciplinary teams and a stronger presence in Mallorca, the organisation continues to develop a project that combines the established experience of the firms that have joined with the capabilities of a broader professional structure.

This development maintains a central principle of ILIA ETL GLOBAL’s approach: placing clients at the heart of its work and providing advisory services based on an understanding of their activities, close relationships and collaboration between specialists.
