Rabjohns is a member of the worldwide accounting association of Kreston International. Kreston has a truly global coverage with member firms in all of the major trading nations of the world. It is ranked in the top 15 largest accounting organisations in the world, with over 1,100 partners or directors; over 11,000 staff; 428 locations and revenue in excess of $1.1 billion.
The members of Kreston are all strong, progressive and fiercely independent firms of accountants, and business and tax advisers (membership is like that of a club, it makes no change to the ownership or management of our business). That is what attracted us to Kreston. The organisation gives us the ability to introduce our clients to like minded firms of advisers who have the local knowledge and contacts to help them develop their business and investment interests abroad. This might be opening a new branch or subsidiary overseas; developing a sales network abroad; advice on the local taxation issues of a holiday home; or the incentives for investing in a foreign country, for example.
We are Kreston's UK representatives for the Midlands region. We advise fellow member firms' clients locating to this area of the UK and welcome contact from both those clients and fellow Kreston members from around the world.
We attend Kreston conferences in the UK, Europe and around the world as part of our membership. This gives us a forum for discussing global accounting issues (an increasingly important issue) and meeting our fellow members. Knowing the key people in the firms around the world is a critical part of Kreston’s success.
Since joining the organisation we have attending conferences in Lisbon, Zurich, Barcelona,Turin and Athens. In October 2005 we attended the first ever Kreston conference in Shanghai.
Our membership will also give our own team members the opportunity to take secondments abroad with fellow member firms.
The members of Kreston UK have strong links and work together to improve the overall level of service to our respective clients. This association, and the strategic alliances that we have formed within it, gives us the ability to service groups throughout the UK as well as across the globe. The strength and quality of the UK firms were factors that initially attracted us to Kreston. Collectively Kreston UK would rank as the 13th largest firm in the UK.
