Meaning of Imeri

 
Our way of doing business
 

Imeri was born to be a financial advisory firm that is guided not only by numbers and data. We know that behind every business is a personal story of years of dedication, from business owners, family groups, entrepreneurs or executives who have experienced ups and downs.

We also know that everything has its time. There are moments to accelerate, to slow down, or to change course.

With our extensive experience in finance and negotiations, our broad network of relationships, we know how to deal with these situations and decode the objectives and demands of our clients, always focusing on execution and results.

As such, we have been able to transform companies and the lives of our clients in Brazil and abroad. This approach has made Imeri one of the leading financial advisory firms in Brazil in the middle market segment .

 
Senior Team

The combined background experience of our team in investment banking, private equity, venture capital, and real estate fund management, strategic consulting, boards of Directors of small, medium-sized, and publicly traded companies, and, of course, in financial advisory, strongly contributes to our ability to deliver successful results for our clients.
