We work for corporate and private clients, as well as the public sector.
Thanks to a pragmatic angle, skill and experience, we deliver high quality solutions, fast.

Value Associates was set up by Manuel Baldauff in 2011 with the goal to combine first class services with human values. And a greater flexibility to serve clients, free of conflicts as they frequently arise in a Big 4 environment.
Since its inception, Value Associates has advised some of the most reputable Luxembourg entrepreneurs, corporations and institutions, including the Luxembourg government, as well as international family offices.
Work is often carried out alongside lawyers, tax advisors, accounting firms, family offices and banks.
Value Associates makes a point of providing pro-bono work to socially targeted initiatives and non-profit organisations.

Manuel is a Baden-Powell fellow of the World Scout Federation, a non-executive director of Fondation Peters, an international charitable foundation established in Luxembourg, and a former member of the Finance Commission of the City of Luxembourg. In the same spirit of pro-bono work and interest for the society as a whole, Manuel is a co-author of a major study led by the Alphonse Weicker Foundation, captioned “Europe 2012 ‑ Globalisation et cohésion sociale - Les scénarios luxembourgeois”, initially published in 1997 and updated in 2013, which analyses the impact of European integration on the sovereignty of Luxembourg, under the academic leadership of Prof. Bruce Scott (Harvard Business School).
