In an increasingly “borderless” economy, it is imperative that businesses are able to successfully operate on a global scale. A significant factor towards achieving this is to ensure that your business is able to carry out international transactions; utilising the services of an accountancy firm with worldwide connections can greatly facilitate this.

2020 International is a global membership organisation of accountancy practices and consulting firms located across Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia Pacific. 2020 International is therefore positioned to meet your accounting needs wherever you choose to operate.

What are the benefits of working with a 2020 International Member Firm?

1. Although each member of 2020 International retains independence within their practice, they are able to draw on the expertise and local knowledge of other members. This means that you, the client, will be able to access information relating to foreign tax issues, international accounting regulations and other geography-specific information.

2. Should you decide to set up your business operations in a foreign market, your information can be referred to other 2020 International members local to the area. This not only provides you with a quick, efficient solution to your accounting needs, but because the firm will have a high level of local expertise, the learning curve to your business upon entering a new market is reduced.

3. 2020 International members benefit from access to some of the world’s leading consultants to the accountancy profession, and receive a monthly e-newsletter courtesy of the 2020 Group. This keeps all members informed of the latest developments in order to provide clients with the best possible service.

4. Collaboration and communication between members is facilitated through regular local, national and international conferences and seminars. Members also have access to an online Q & A forum. Such networking opportunities allow ideas and knowledge to be shared, representing an important body of resources for members when addressing client queries.

5. Occasionally, members of 2020 International provide details of other contacts that they have used around the world, contributing to a global database of recommended contacts accessible to all members. This gives clients additional support in the unlikely event that a 2020 International member is unable to resolve an issue.
