Brief Profile of ALMA CG Czech Republic

Alma CG is a European leader in providing cost consultancy services. Alma CG helps corporations to improve their competitiveness by optimising all cost items, achieving savings and securing available sources of funding. Alma CG's approach is unique in that the company charges for its services a percentage of the client's savings. Its service is therefore strongly result-oriented. Alma CG has offices in eight European countries (Czech Republic, France, Belgium, Hungary, Poland, Spain, Portugal, United Kingdom) and in Canada.

In the Czech Republic, Alma CG’s main services are related to the research and development tax relief.
