Leading Edge Alliance

Expanded access for clients

Cheshire accountants, Afford Bond, have recently joined forces with LEA (Leading Edge Alliance) Global to provide expanded access for clients, to a worldwide network of accounting, consulting and business experts in diverse service lines and industries.

To become a member, all LEA Global (https://leaglobal.com ) firms must go through rigorous due diligence before being accepted – and all members are aligned with each other to develop and deliver creative solutions to mutual clients.

Director, Tom Hornbuckle commented: “LEA Global is one of the largest alliances of its kind and has member firms across the world. This partnership will allow us to service our clients who trade internationally and attract new clients who may have outgrown the expertise of their existing accountants – especially if they do not themselves, have overseas offices. We already collaborate with other LEA member firms, so this is a natural progression.”

LEA Global network of firms operate in more than 100 countries. The network allows firms to meaningfully collaborate across international territories and ultimately, provide clients with an enhanced and joined up approach. Members can locate, access and collaborate with other members based upon industry, location, job title, service requirements and many other identifying factors. Areas where collaboration through Afford Bond and the wider LEA network of firms may be of interest is if your organisation is:

– Already operating overseas

– Seeking to expend overseas in the foreseeable future

– Wanting to assess whether overseas expansion is the right option for your business

– Facing issues with Brexit and changes to VAT

– Importing or exporting goods and services
