Dr Marcetti, with what mission was the firm founded?
The firm was founded more than thirty years ago with the ambitious goal of becoming an important point of reference in the field of business, management and financial consultancy to SMEs; a challenge that was met thanks to highly specialised know-how and a qualified and motivated multidisciplinary team that has allowed us to clearly differentiate ourselves from the numerous players on the market.
Today, Studio Marcetti & Associati is a historic and recognised firm in Olbia and beyond, with a high degree of contextualisation in its territory and a strongly centralised organisational structure; I would proudly define it as an all-Italian excellence which, thanks to a strategic vision and an innovative business approach based on the centrality of the client, has succeeded in asserting its leadership in a competitive market, expanding its client base year after year throughout the country, mostly companies with up to 50 employees and a turnover of around 10 to 20 million euro per year.
What peculiarities distinguish you from your competitors?
In addition to the experience and professionalism gained in the field of traditional services, our main added value is represented by our ability to offer strictly tailor-made consultancy, customised and tailored to the needs of each individual business. In fact, our philosophy is to put the entrepreneur at the centre of our decisions, listening to him, supporting him at 360 degrees thanks to an exclusive relationship of strategic partnership and offering him an always active communication openness, with a long-term vision. Our goal is to immerse ourselves in the various operational realities in order to make companies increasingly competitive in their reference market, thanks to detailed and flexible strategic planning that allows each client to achieve their business objectives, taking into account the opportunities and challenges of the market, the strengths and weaknesses of the company, the relationships and opportunities that the firm facilitates (also in terms of financing and tax breaks) to grow in a healthy, virtuous and sustainable manner.
In recent years, have you developed specialised expertise on the Third Sector? Why this choice?
Because I firmly believe in the company’s ability to combine business growth objectives with civic, solidarity and socially useful aims, acting in different areas of general interest, from assisting people with disabilities to protecting the environment, from health and social welfare services to promoting cultural activities. Fascinated by the 2017 Reform of the Third Sector – born out of the need to overcome the legislative fragmentation that has characterised for decades the many Italian non-profit organisations engaged in social work – I therefore decided to focus my attention on associations (whether recognised or not), committees, foundations, cooperatives, consortia as well as Social Enterprises registered with the Runts (Registro Unico Nazionale Terzo Settore – Single National Third Sector Register) that operate voluntarily on a non-profit basis and that must necessarily invest a portion of their profits in activities of general interest. This is a constantly evolving sector, with approximately 16,557 active enterprises and 458,222 employees, which in my opinion can be a springboard for the future, prompting many entrepreneurs sensitive to the theme of philanthropy, culture, and the enrichment of society to act concretely for the good of the community.
