About us

Specialists in finance, risk and high-level events

We are a multidisciplinary team combining experience in corporate finance, risk management, quantitative modelling and event organisation. We work with academic and professional partners in Brazil and abroad.

Our practice is deliberately independent: we do not distribute financial products and we receive no commissions on recommendations. That allows us to say what the numbers show — including when the answer is not to proceed.

Corporate finance Risk management Equity Events

Where we operate

Brazil as a base, with projects and partnerships across Latin America and Europe. Work delivered in Portuguese, English and Italian.

Who we work with

Family-owned and mid-sized companies, financial institutions, investors and organisations that run technical events.

Independence

No recommendation is influenced by third-party remuneration. Explicit assumptions, reproducible numbers and knowledge that stays with the client’s team.

Values

Principles that guide every decision

Five values underpin our work, from the first diagnosis to the final delivery. Each one is set out on the values page.

Sustainable development Ethics and transparency Social responsibility Partnership and trust Professional excellence

Founder

Oliviero Roggi

Professor, corporate finance advisor and founding partner of IFC Consulting Srls, in Florence.

Oliviero Roggi is the founder of RBF Latam. Co-author of several books with Aswath Damodaran, the world reference in valuation at NYU Stern, he taught M&A and Valuation in the MBA in Finance at NYU Stern and has worked in financial advisory for 20 years.

In Europe he is the founding partner of IFC Consulting Srls, a finance and risk management consultancy registered in Florence and RBF Latam's strategic partner. The two firms work as one, so Brazilian and European clients are served with the same methodology.

This dual origin — the Brazilian market and international academia — defines the house method: explicit assumptions, reproducible models and a reading of risk that goes beyond the spreadsheet.

Team

Multidisciplinary by design

Each project is led by a senior partner and supported by the skills the problem requires: modelling, regulation, accounting, corporate structure or event operations.

The team combines professionals in corporate finance, risk management, quantitative modelling and event production, with local partners in Brazil and Latin America and international collaborators in Europe and the United States.

The consultant network includes professors from NYU Stern's Finance department — including Edward Altman, Menachem Brenner, Aswath Damodaran, Anthony Saunders and Marti Subramanyan — engaged according to the scope of each project.
