SD Global Consulting opens its Travel & Expense consulting firm in Valencia, Spain

SD Global Consulting is taking a new structural step forward, our Travel & Expense consulting firm is officially establishing itself in Valencia, Spain. A decision that is neither random nor a simple change of scenery, but part of a fully intentional international strategy.

The most complex Travel & Expense programs do not operate within borders. They span across 5, 10, sometimes 20 entities, with different local regulations, distributed teams, and strategic decisions made from Paris, while execution must be flawless on the ground.

This is exactly the reality SD Global Consulting is addressing by establishing a presence in Valencia, Spain. 

Why establish a Travel & Expense consulting firm in Valencia, Spain ?

T&E projects share a common characteristic, they cannot be effectively managed from a single location. The ability to operate locally, to understand the regulatory specifics of each subsidiary, and to maintain close relationships with operational teams on the ground is a decisive factor in the success of a global T&E program.

First, Travel & Expense programs are inherently multi country. When we support a company on its travel policy or expense management, we never work within a single scope. We operate across multiple entities, different local regulations, phased deployments, governance challenges, and teams spread across several regions.

Second, T&E sits at the intersection of global and local. Strategic decisions may be made in Paris, London, Madrid, Brussels, Geneva, or Singapore. What matters is not the location of the headquarters. What matters is the ability to execute effectively on the ground without losing program consistency. 

Third, structuring SD Global Consulting as an international firm is a strategic decision in itself. It allows us to operate more efficiently on multi entity projects, stay closer to local teams, and strengthen our long term presence in Europe.

Establishing in Valencia is an organizational decision, not a cosmetic one. It reinforces our ability to manage multi entity projects across Europe without losing overall strategic alignment.

What does this change concretely for you ?

Our approach remains the same. What changes is our ability to operate even more effectively across Europe and on multi country projects. 

SD Global Consulting supports finance leaders, procurement teams, and T&E leaders in large organizations on their most demanding transformations, travel policy redesign, tool implementation, governance structuring, and cost optimization across multi country environments.

  • T&E governance, structuring consistent international programs
  • Travel policy, designing policies that achieve 80%+ compliance rates, including in highly autonomous entities
  • Cost control, identifying concrete optimization levers across the full T&E budget, with a target of 8% to 22% savings depending on initial maturity
  • Tool deployment, leading implementation and adoption of T&E solutions in multi country environments, with a target adoption rate above 75%
  • Global and local alignment, ensuring that headquarters strategy is effectively executed in every entity

What our presence in Valencia strengthens is our ability to maintain an operational perspective in increasingly complex multi country environments, without ever losing sight of overall program consistency.
