Grassi, a leading employee-owned advisory, tax and accounting firm, has appointed two new tax partners to expand its international tax and trust and estate services. Tiffany Roque joins as Partner and International Tax Leader, bringing expertise in global tax structuring, foreign investment analysis and US international tax provisions. Angela Ferrantelli becomes Trust & Estate Partner, contributing over 20 years of experience in estate and trust taxation, wealth transfer strategies and fiduciary accounting. Both partners will advise high-net-worth individuals, families and businesses on complex tax matters. "Their experience and technical knowledge strengthen our ability to deliver insights across domestic and international tax matters," said Louis C. Grassi, founder and CEO. Grassi ranks as the 52nd-largest accounting firm in the United States.

SizeYou, a Biella-based technology company that measures the human body via smartphone to create digital avatars, has doubled its valuation following a second capital increase from Grassi, a leading Italian workwear manufacturer. The company, founded by Alessandro Canepa and Stefano Fasana, has secured patents in the US, Europe, China, South Korea and Australia. The startup has achieved significant commercial milestones, including a partnership with Alpinestars, the official supplier for Formula 1 and MotoGP, which selected SizeYou over its previous American provider. The technology is also expanding in medical, wellness and aesthetic markets, with clients including SkinMedic, a major Italian chain. SizeYou has raised over €2.5 million to date and is currently conducting an equity crowdfunding campaign on 2Meet2Biz, which has reached nearly 50% of its target in under a month.
