Who Are We?
Founded by two financial leaders with more than 40 years of combined experience.
We transform businesses, finances, and people so that family-owned companies reach their potential and become legacies of excellence that transcend generations.
Why Does Sabal Exist?
Sabal was born from a simple conviction: mid-sized and family-owned businesses across the Americas deserve the same financial rigor as large corporations — adapted to their reality, their size, and their culture.
Sabal is the founder's family name. It comes from a lineage of entrepreneurs with decades of commercial discipline, where reputation, word of honor, and trust are not decorative values — they are the foundation of business. Those same pillars are the foundation of everything Sabal builds with its clients.
Reputation
We do what we say. Always.
Our Word
A commitment is a commitment. No fine print.
A Network Built on Trust
We work as partners, not vendors.
The Team
Two managing partners in every conversation. You always speak directly with those who lead and execute the project.
Jorge Ignacio Nuñez Sabal
Founder & Managing Partner
25+ years of experience in corporate finance across CPG, consumer goods, and banking — with Kimberly-Clark, British American Tobacco, and bia Foods — in Costa Rica, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the United States. Built Kimberly-Clark's FP&A Center of Excellence for all of Latin America, led a 110+ FTE GBS organization with regional Order-to-Cash ownership, and led bia Foods' Corporate FP&A function across 20+ markets.
Has generated documented value at scale: protected ~USD 45M through the financial analysis and reconstruction of strategic earn-out compliance, designed and implemented bia Foods' EVA methodology — resulting in a ~USD 32M year-over-year swing, from negative to positive territory —, and led the workforce transformation architecture toward a GBS model and regional hub at Kimberly-Clark Latin America — generating USD 40M in annual savings, recognized as a global best practice by KC Corporate.

Together.
We founded Sabal because we understand that behind every family business is a dream of legacy. Our purpose is to transform the business, develop its people, and lay the foundation for the company to become a lasting legacy across the Americas.
More than 40 years of combined experience at some of the world's most demanding organizations — a combination that Sabal puts entirely at the service of the business and its people.
AI that amplifies. Experience that decides — in every diagnosis, every analysis, every client deliverable.
