ECOVIS STLex with ETS Global in European business development

Educational Testing Service (ETS) is a non-profit organization founded in 1947 in the United States.

In 2001, ETS set up its European headquarters in the Netherlands in order to promote ETS testing, build and strengthen relationships with education and assessment leaders in Europe, and offer customized assessments.

The mission of the group is to promote quality and equity in education.

ETS develops, administers, and evaluates more than 50 million tests a year-including TOEFL® and TOEIC® tests, GRE® General and Subject tests, and Praxis® tests-in more than 180 countries, in more than 9,000 locations worldwide and conducts educational research, analysis, and policy studies and develops a variety of customized services and products for teacher certification, English language learning, and elementary, secondary, and post-secondary education.

The group is pursuing its international growth and development plans with the aim of increasing its presence and markets in various European countries.

In 2022 ETS Global BV decided to develop the business in Italy.

ECOVIS STLex has developed specific experience in supporting international companies in their expansion and operational development on the Italian territory by providing customised solutions of integrated multi-professional consulting and services such as: tax, audit, legal, accounting, payroll, corporate in a one stop shop logic with a focus on customisation and attention to detail.

There was therefore a perfect match of client expectations in terms of extending the range of services and the precision and timeliness of the professional partner’s response. Therefore, as of 2022, the team coordinated by the partner Emilio Martinotti was able to support ETS in the study and implementation of the most effective and efficient legal, accounting, tax and labour solutions to strengthen ETS’s presence in the territory.

ECOVIS STLex team is very knowledgeable and, like us, embraces innovation and digitization of accounting administrative processes. We get along very well because they help us find effective solutions for our needs and for the development of our business in Italy.
