MIAMI, FL (September 3, 2025) – Edgewater Strategy Group (“Edgewater”), a boutique advisory firm specializing in M&A, capital raises and Office of the CFO services, today announced that it supported Cresco and its Executive Chairman, Sebastien Gaddini, on Cresco’s strategic transaction with Siglo BPO (“Siglo”), a Latin American business process outsourcing firm.
Florida-based Cresco uses artificial intelligence and data to deliver corporate services, helping companies stay on top of compliance, governance and administration in the jurisdictions where they operate. Siglo has provided accounting, tax compliance, payroll, human resources and outsourcing services for decades and operates in 12 countries across Latin America, the United States and Spain.
The transaction pairs Cresco’s leadership and AI-enabled service model with Siglo’s regional footprint and established local teams, creating a combined group of more than 700 professionals who serve multinational and regional clients, among them Fortune 500 companies. The two businesses will initially keep operating under their existing brands as they pursue a shared plan to make Latin America a leading center for nearshored compliance, finance, HR and back-office services.
Edgewater worked closely with Gaddini on the transaction, building the valuation analysis and financial model, conducting on-site diligence at Siglo, and supporting a strategic review of how the two businesses would fit together.
“Siglo has spent decades building what cannot be replicated quickly: trusted local teams and client relationships in a dozen countries, handling the accounting, payroll and compliance work that multinationals depend on. Cresco adds the technology and leadership to carry that work to more clients in more markets. Working alongside Sebastien, we tested the thesis from the ground up, from time on site with Siglo’s teams to the economics of the combined group, and came away with real confidence in what the two businesses can build together.”
