Professional firms in Italy reach 4,462, up 28% since 2023

26/10/2026. Professional firms are growing in Italy: 4,462 were recorded in October 2026, up 28% from December 2023. This growth reflects new regulatory opportunities and increasing attention to the organisational development of professional practices.

As reported by Il Sole 24 Ore, based on Business Register data analysed by InfoCamere, 2,077 firms involve chartered accountants, accounting for 46% of the total. They are followed by architecture and engineering firms (1,500) and firms involving legal and notarial practices (848).

North-West Italy leads both in the number of firms (1,505) and in growth since December 2024 (+29.3%). Key drivers include tax neutrality for professional business combinations and simplified rules for investors joining these firms.

“Analysing such detailed figures highlights the strategic value of public data,” says Paolo Ghezzi, Director General of InfoCamere.
