Three Decades Advising Latin America’s Families and Businesses

Three Decades Advising Latin America’s Families and Businesses

Since the 1990s, we have helped business owners, family groups and corporations across the region make their most important decisions: selling or buying a company, entering a new market, forming a partnership, or planning wealth for the next generation.

Who We Are

Mesoamerica is a strategic advisory firm with offices in San José, Costa Rica, and Bogotá, Colombia. We began as consultants, and that heritage still shapes how we work. We spend time understanding a business, its owners and its long-term goals before we recommend anything.

Most of our clients come to us through a referral from another client, a board member or a trusted colleague. Many have worked with us for years, sometimes across generations of the same family. We earn that trust by being discreet, by giving candid advice, and by staying involved well beyond the closing of a transaction.

Our Track Record

Our work spans telecommunications, energy, financial services, consumer goods, agribusiness and infrastructure. In every engagement we pair regional insight with international standards of analysis and execution.
