Мarchello Gelashvili

Managing Partner at B1 Group

“As the audit market continues to evolve, we’re seeing a major shift towards digital tools, cross-functional expertise and audit-related services. The auditor’s role is becoming increasingly complex and vital. This transformation empowers us to look to the future with confidence: audit will continue to grow as a key driver in helping all stakeholders achieve their goals.”

Mikhail Khachaturian

B1 Partner, Assurance Leader

“We continue to see strong demand for business restructuring, along with the related tax and legal support it involves. Tasks that once required external consultants to step in are now often handled in-house. At the same time, businesses are seeking advisors for more complex, multifaceted challenges—while also raising the bar. They expect deep expertise, sector-specific insight and a thorough understanding of their operations, combined with an integrated approach. We deliver on all these fronts—and that’s exactly why our clients turn to us.”

Yulia Timonina

B1 Partner, Tax, Law and Business Support Leader

“The tectonic shifts in geopolitical and economic conditions amid the rising importance of import substitution and localizing the production of components, parts and materials, have made it essential to rethink and update existing industry growth strategies. We help identify priority areas for government support of innovative projects and facilitate the journey of innovations developed at state research centers, taking them from lab to market.”

Andrey Tomyshev

B1 Partner, Head of Strategy Consulting

“We foresee strong demand for consulting services lasting through 2025 and beyond. Companies are increasingly calling on consultants to tackle tougher, more intricate challenges, placing a greater emphasis on technical expertise and professional experience.”
