Giorgio Marcolongo and Diego Vanasia, partners of BĒS ASSOCIATI were among the 138 delegates from 78 independent accounting and law firms in 38 countries who attended in Madrid for the 2019 Worldwide Conference of Alliott Group, the firm’s international alliance.
During 2019, the alliance has enjoyed record membership growth, with 21 new firms joining in 16 countries. This surge in membership was reflected in the high turnout for the conference (23-26 October) which also marked the alliance’s 40th anniversary.
The alliance’s growth strategy was outlined by new COO Giles Brake who is targeting the expansion of the group’s membership to 100 countries within three years to ensure Alliott Group member firms can offer a truly global solution to clients involved in or considering international business activity.
Participation in the alliance’s conference programme ensures that our professionals can form trusted personal relationships with senior advisors at like-minded professional firms across the world who will handle our clients’ business with maximum care and efficiency and who have expert knowledge of their local jurisdiction’s tax, government and legal systems.
Involvement in the conference also immersed professionals from BĒS ASSOCIATI in global practice groups focused on sharing knowledge and developing joint capability and new opportunities in areas including M&A, International Tax, Real Estate, Audit, International Private Wealth, Global Mobility, Business Law and VAT/Indirect Tax.
Giorgio Marcolongo, member of the Worldwide Board of Alliott Group and Chair of the EMEA Region comments: “Membership of Alliott Group is an investment we make on behalf of our clients and professional staff. The world is now global and the rate of technological and regulatory change is unprecedented – it is vital that we are connected to accountants, lawyers, tax advisers, auditors and other business professionals who will provide new insights”.
Diego Vanasia, member of the International Tax Group and of the Global Mobility Group of Alliott says:
“Our ongoing participation in Alliott Group’s activities, which now qualifies us as a study of considerable seniority within the international alliance, give us, in every occasion like this, an additional inspiration for high-level professional relationships with international colleagues that will ensure our firm and our clients are future-ready”.
HR and marketing focused presentations also ensured our representatives are more informed about how the firm can ensure it is positioned as a compelling employer to the accountants and lawyers of tomorrow. Practical ideas were shared on how to build a high-performing leadership culture at the firm and why professional firms must invest in their brand to safeguard their future success.
The firm now looks forward to Alliott Group’s 2020 Worldwide Conference in Tokyo.
