Advisory firm KNAV Advisory Inc. has acquired UAE-based assurance and advisory firm Affiniax Group, strengthening its Middle East presence. The transaction enhances KNAV's footprint in the UAE, extending its platform to offer audit, tax, advisory, and compliance services in regional and cross-border markets, while Affiniax brings valuable local market expertise.
KNAV Advisory Inc. has announced the acquisition of Affiniax Group, a UAE based assurance and advisory firm, effective January 1, strengthening its presence across the Middle East. Both firms are members of Allinial Global, and the transaction represents a strategic expansion of KNAV’s international platform.
The combination enhances KNAV’s footprint in the United Arab Emirates by integrating Affiniax’s established local operations with KNAV’s global delivery model, systems, and quality standards. The expanded platform supports audit, tax, advisory, and compliance services for clients operating across regional and cross border markets.
KNAV leadership stated that the acquisition aligns with the firm’s focus on building scale in key international markets while maintaining consistent service quality across geographies. Affiniax contributes strong local market knowledge and operational capability that complements KNAV’s global expertise and cross border service delivery.
Affiniax leadership noted that the combination provides clients with access to broader service offerings, deeper technical resources, and KNAV’s international network, while maintaining continuity in client relationships.
The transaction follows KNAV’s recent international combinations with other Allinial Global member firms, including HLG in the Netherlands in 2024 and Aventus Partners in the United Kingdom in 2025. KNAV operates under a one firm global delivery model designed to deliver seamless, integrated services worldwide.
Affiniax Group will continue operating under its existing leadership team.
Until next time…
