Local accounting firms are under pressure to retain their growing clients and to develop new business opportunities. Membership of an international alliance (association) of accounting firms such as INPACT provides cost-effective support for local independent audit and accountancy firms so that they can overcome these challenges. The development of a strong global INPACT brand, combined with a selective approach to appointing member firms in key cities and a range of membership services that includes regular meeting opportunities, adds real value to local firms - it helps them to run their practices more efficiently, source professional advice almost anywhere in the world, and it provides a catalyst for new business growth. INPACT is actively recruiting strong local accounting and audit firms in cities where we do not currently have member firms. A small number of exclusive territories are still available.
