In 2025, DGN Consulting focused on strategic consolidation, strengthening its internal processes while preparing for the next phase of growth. Shorena Imesashvili, managing partner at DGN, stated: “Our main achievement was internal: we finalized and solidified our procedures, from recruitment and training to our quality assurance processes. This foundational investment ensures that as we bring talented people on board, our service quality remains consistently high.”
This internal strengthening came at a breaking point, as DGN welcomed a significant number of new clients. The company notes that the main lesson of the year was clear: building scalable processes is the only way to grow sustainably. By the end of 2025, DGN had not only reinforced its operational model but also created a more robust, future-thinking team.
Strategic Partnership at the Core
DGN’s approach centers on being a strategic partner rather than a conventional service provider. “The deep analysis of a client’s needs and the trust they place in us is what drives our passion,” Imesashvili explains. This philosophy translates into tangible business outcomes: clients remain loyal because they view DGN as a part of their strategic team, not just an external advisor.
The impact is measurable. The company observes client growth and success directly linked to its integrated approach. Whether helping a client navigate a complex tax audit or launching a new venture, DGN’s involvement often becomes a catalyst for major business results.
Integrated Consulting: A Competitive Advantage
Within the South Caucasus market, DGN positions itself as a strategic integrator for ambitious businesses. The company notes that the region has historically been fragmented, requiring clients to juggle multiple advisors across legal, tax, and financial domains—often leading to silos and miscommunication.
We don’t just offer these services under one roof; we ensure they function as a single, cohesive team. Legal decisions are vetted for tax implications, and financial strategies are checked for legal compliance from day one. This proactive approach is our core value to clients.”
“Our advantage is our integrated model,” Imesashvili says. “We don’t just offer these services under one roof; we ensure they function as a single, cohesive team. Legal decisions are vetted for tax implications, and financial strategies are checked for legal compliance from day one. This proactive approach is our core value to clients.”
Opportunities and Challenges in 2026
Looking ahead, DGN identifies Georgia’s tech sector and small-to-medium manufacturing as promising areas for growth. Yet the company mentions that structural challenges remain. Many local businesses struggle to leverage resources fully or capitalize on bilateral trade and tax treaties to expand internationally.
To address this, DGN is developing a new service to help clients strategically navigate foreign markets. As Imesashvili points out, “The key opportunity lies in shifting from a domestic-only focus to an export-oriented one. We are already working on new service line that will help our clients to turn that potential into tangible revenue.”
Leveraging Technology without Losing the Human Touch
As technology reshapes consulting, DGN emphasizes amplification over replacement. The company states that digital tools are used to increase efficiency, freeing staff to focus on high-level human insight. “We don’t pursue automation for its own sake; we adopt tools that allow our experts to concentrate on strategic interpretation, complex problem-solving, and the human insights that drive a client’s success,” Imesashvili notes.
This balance has reinforced the increasing appreciation for integrated consulting in Georgia. Clients are recognizing that cohesive advisory services allow them to concentrate on strategy rather than daily operational routines. The company observes that entrepreneurs now value the ability to make critical decisions based on properly handled data rather than impulse, emphasizing the advantages of DGN’s model.
Developing Strategic Advisors
Creating a team capable of strategic thinking requires more than technical training. Imesashvili explains, “Senior team members devote significant time to mentoring. A technical expert fixes a mistake; a strategic advisor diagnoses the underlying reason and designs a process to prevent it from happening again.” DGN’s culture of ‘learning by doing’ ensures that its professionals deliver high-level, all-encompassing advice.
Priorities for 2026
DGN’s focus for 2026 is structured around three pillars: strategic expansion, purposeful innovation, and deepening client impact. The company will continue to strengthen core integrated services, tax advisory, accounting, financial reporting, and legal, while introducing new services to support clients’ international growth.
Purposeful innovation will involve leveraging technological advancements to enhance data analysis and strategic insights and the company will continue prioritizing partnerships with ambitious clients who can fully benefit from its integrated model.
Shorena Imesashvili concludes, “Our goal isn’t just to find more clients, but to find the right clients—forward-thinking businesses where we can act as a true strategic partner and have the most significant impact.”
