Excellence

Excellence becomes concrete in the constant pursuit of quality in the advice provided, and is measured by the achievement of the client’s objectives, by the capacity to create value, and by the ability of Donato Vocca & Associates to become an effective support in the decision-making processes of our clients.

Excellence therefore requires great Flexibility, which is necessary to be able to respond to the client’s changing operating and planning needs.

Flexibility derives from the pursuit of Excellence, which implies a constant investment made by Donato Vocca & Associates to understand the client’s business and industry, in order to adapt without leading to additional costs for our clients.

Flexibility is concretely represented by interdisciplinary work teams that have available a wide range of tax, corporate, legal and accounting skills and that best respond to the peculiarities of the engagement and to the operational context of the client, to supply an effective and correctly evaluated and priced consultancy service.

Fairness

Fair is the adjective that best describes Donato Vocca & Associates’ attitude towards the fee agreed upon with the client.

Fairness directly derives from the business model based on Excellence and on Flexibility and goes along with the firm belief of Donato Vocca & Associates that it is pivotal the ability to communicate in a fair, clear, confident and respectful way both with our clients as well as with the counterparts, of any kind, with whom they have to interact.
