International accountancy services

We have the international experience and connections to help you achieve your global potential beyond the UK.

Wherever business takes you

Whether you are contemplating a merger in Asia, a property venture in Eastern Europe, opening an office in South America, or initiating an expansion plan in the United States, as a member of the Praxity Alliance, we can quickly source qualified specialists in that region.

Our participation in this Alliance gives our team direct access to local market insights, strategic relationships and regulatory guidance. This allows us to deliver a fully coordinated cost-effective and competitive service that draws on the very best mix of regional and technical experts – with as few or many people with the skills your assignment requires.

Our international support is further strengthened by our expertise with post-Brexit UK exporting and importing requirements, and our office is ideally located within easy reach of Central London and Heathrow Airport. This means that we can offer you a seamless client service wherever business takes you.

Empowering business globally

What is it about Praxity that makes it special?

Put simply, through Praxity our clients can enjoy unrivalled professional support to help them navigate complex business and tax affairs across multiple borders worldwide. We are able to hand-pick expert advisers from nearly 700 offices in more than 100 countries, forming multi-disciplinary teams to meet your needs.

Strength in depth

Quality assured

Praxity is unashamedly selective in the firms it welcomes to the Alliance, each of which retains their own branding, independence and financial responsibility. All meet Praxity’s stringent quality assurance standards and are assessed every three years to ensure they are maintaining high levels of service and performance. Participant Firms are handpicked for their size, strength, reputation, governance, financial condition, leadership and strategic geographic relevance. All are successful, highly-rated by peers and share the same service ethos and international collaborative spirit.

Advisors you can trust

You can skip the troublesome process of searching for and appointing accounting firms in each international territory and we have every confidence in our international Praxity colleagues. In many regions, there is more than one Member Firm, giving even greater choice when pulling a team together. This means that your international projects are directed by local contacts that you know and trust. Experience shows that clients feel more valued staying with their local firm and enjoy a comfort in continuity.

Committed to supporting international business

Praxity is a not-for-profit entity under Belgium law (so-called IVZW or AISBL), with its registered office in Belgium and a core purpose to assist its Member Firms in finding the best solutions for achieving their clients’ goals through seamless collaboration within Praxity’s global alliance of independent firms. This means that we can build a team of international experts across every major discipline to meet your needs, now and in the future. Praxity Participant firms are successfully offering clients a competitive alternative to the Big 4 and distinguishing themselves over branded networks through their independence, flexibility and reach.
