The Firm
Financial consulting built on language, analysis and continuity.
Gerone & Co. is a cross-border financial consulting firm based in Miami, founded in 2026 to provide analytical and strategic support to European companies, entrepreneurs and investors evaluating business acquisitions in the United States, particularly French- and Italian-speaking clients.
Strong transatlantic ties, few specialists.
European companies already have a major economic presence in the United States. According to the European Commission, they have invested approximately $3.2 trillion there, and EU trade and investment support more than 5 million U.S. jobs. Many continue to review U.S. acquisitions as a path for expansion; Florida alone counts more than 645,000 employer establishments, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Many advisory firms focus on larger transactions or on traditional business brokerage. That leaves a gap for financial consultants who serve investors evaluating lower-middle-market businesses, with practical M&A experience and the language of their clients. Gerone & Co. was founded to fill it.

One firm
The same firm from the first evaluation through post-acquisition support: analysis and assumptions carry forward, with no need to brief a new provider at each stage.
Analytical depth
