global alliance
we’re here to help
We specialise in supporting professional service firms, global alliances and their members —both accounting and law.
If you leading a mid-tier alliance, you may perhaps have representation in all the in major markets, with hundreds of offices and tens of thousands of professionals operating worldwide. However, managing such a vast membership network often falls on a relatively small international or regional office team.
Leading a major accounting or law firm or a global alliance is an incredibly challenging role. Unless you’ve been in that position, it’s hard to fully grasp the pressures involved.
Before we start, we should clarify that we use the term “Alliance” to refer to both worldwide networks and associations. Those in the accounting field will appreciate the distinction!
(For accountants: “Networks” are formally defined by IFAC, the International Federation of Accountants.)
