Valcon acquires Danish management consultancy Beyond Advisors

European consulting firm Valcon has acquired Beyond Advisors, a Danish management consultancy firm with around 20 consultants on its payroll.

Established in 2020, Beyond Advisors is a Copenhagen-based management consultancy focused on strategy, growth, and commercial excellence. The consulting firm works for clients in Denmark and the other Scandinavian countries, across a wide array of industries, including consumer retail and financial services.

Following a period of successful collaboration between the two consulting firms, Valcon has now acquired Beyond Advisors for an undisclosed sum. The deal is Valcon’s first since the arrival of Rivean Capital as its new majority investor, and the first in the Nordics since the group’s inception in the region back in 2020.

“Beyond Advisors has established itself as a trusted partner for Nordic clients. With strategy firmly at their core, Beyond Advisors is dedicated to delivering tailored strategic solutions, from setting the direction and identifying opportunities to implementing and sustaining change. Their team boasts a unique blend of top-tier consulting expertise and invaluable insights from senior leadership positions,” stated Valcon in a release.

The bolt-on lifts Valcon’s headcount to around 1,700 professionals – they work from offices in the Netherlands, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, and Croatia. Beyond Advisors will become part of Valcon’s strategy and management consulting business, which sits alongside units that focus on data and technology.

“Beyond Advisors joining Valcon is solidifying our position as a leading consultancy,” says Thomas Rosenlund, Managing Partner of Valcon in the Nordics. “This merger not only enhances our service offerings in the sweetspot between strategic business transformation, AI and data; it also strengthens our commitment to driving impactful change for our clients across Europe.”

Commenting on the joining of forces, Beyond Advisors CEO, Jacob Falkenham said: “Joining Valcon is a big opportunity for our team and our clients as it allows us to gain access to key capabilities within tech and data. We will be able to leverage our combined strengths to deliver even greater value and innovative solutions.”

In related news, earlier this year another Danish management consultancy, Hildebrandt & Brandi, was acquired by Eraneos, while boutique player CR Consulting was picked up by Sweden-headquartered Advisense.
