Today’s international business environment is one of unprecedented opportunity. But moving into new markets is never without its challenges. Whether you’re a new start-up taking that first step cross-border, a medium-sized business looking to expand your reach abroad, or a multinational looking to optimise tax efficiencies and manage your global accounting compliance obligations, successful expansion abroad demands advisers you can trust.
As a member of Russell Bedford International, a global network of independent firms of accountants, auditors, tax advisers and business consultants, we are able to deliver the range of services our clients demand, wherever they need them. Strict adherence to the Russell Bedford network’s stringent quality standards means our clients can be confident of the same world-class services, wherever they operate.
Ranked as one of the world’s top accounting networks, Russel Bedford is represented by some 700 partners, 5000 staff and 300 offices in almost 100 countries throughout Europe, the Americas, Middle East, Africa, Indian Sub-Contintent and Asia-Pacific.
Every one of the 90-plus independent member firms in the Russell Bedford network is an established local market leader in its own right. This ensures that all of our clients are advised by specialists with proven experience in-country, with the insights necessary to guide in-bound investors through local regulation and business practices.
The growth of the Russell Bedford network since its formation in 1983 has been built around a close-knit grouping of like-minded firms, with a common ethical code predicated on responsive, personalised, partner-led service.
