By joining Summa, accounting firms pool their investments and broaden their expertise, while retaining full autonomy in managing their clients and teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New external growth operations, financed by unitranche debt provided by Pictet and equity from Weinberg Capital Partners, will be announced in the coming months, enabling Summa to reach \u20ac30 million in consolidated revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n        <div id=\"block-verbatim-block_cee58398a4fa46ace567060dfe08bf28\" class=\"block-custom-acf block-verbatim\">\n\n            \n\n                <div class=\"section section-gmt-2 section-pt-3 section-pb-3  bg-purple c-white\">\n                  <div class=\"container max-w-880 mx-auto\">\n\n                    \n\n                        <div class=\"quote-content font-light\">&ldquo;This announcement marks a new step in the structuring of the Summa group.
