ZEDRA Completes the Rebrand of US Global Expansion Specialist, Axelia Partners


ZEDRA, a global provider of Global Expansion and Corporate Services, Active Wealth, Pensions & Incentives, and Fund Solutions, today announces that it has completed the integration and rebrand of US global expansion specialist, Axelia Partners, to ZEDRA Global Expansion Services US. The rebranding follows the firm's acquisition by ZEDRA in March 2022.

ZEDRA Global Expansion Services US facilitates the expansion in the US of predominantly European headquartered businesses and entrepreneurs by providing all the back office services necessary to operate compliantly in the country. Services include accounting, financial control, tax compliance, legal housekeeping, HR, payroll and talent search.

ZEDRA Global Expansion Services US complements the firm's existing US offering and reinforces the team's wealth of expertise in San Francisco, Miami and New York. ZEDRA's newly integrated team also fits perfectly alongside the London and the Amsterdam teams which already provide the full suite of tax, HR and financial compliance services to fast-growing US headquartered companies expanding into EMEA.

Ivo Hemelraad, ZEDRA Chief Executive Officer, commented: "Axelia is recognised as a premier provider of Global Expansion services in the US, and we are keen to utilise its great reputation as the launchpad from which to position ZEDRA as the go-to firm for companies wanting to expand in the US. ZEDRA's reputation in the US has been enhanced this year following ZEDRA's recent acquisition of North Carolina based Atlas Fund Service, a fully licensed and industry-recognized investment fund administrator which provides long-term, tailored, and reliable fund services to US-based alternative investment managers.

Alexandra Suhas, Managing Director Zedra Global Expansion Services US commented: "Axelia Partners' and ZEDRA's company culture and values have always been aligned, which has facilitated the integratio and made it seamless for both clients and employees alike. We are delighted to join forces with our new 850 colleagues. With our strong track record of helping fast growing European companies, combined with ZEDRA's existing expertise and network worldwide, we are well positioned to achieve our ambitious growth plans and deliver more services to our clients in a holistic manner."



ZEDRA will be hosting an event in New York on 17th November where clients, intermediaries and employees based in the region will celebrate the launch of ZEDRA Global Expansion Services US.
