independent accounting practices aiming to counter the market dominance of the major
multi-national accounting firms.

accounting and business consultancy firms in key locations around the world, and is
represented in some 50 countries in Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa
and Asia-Pacific.

All Russell Bedford affiliates are well-established firms offering international
business advice and services to local and multinational clients. Most provide a
full range of services comprising accounting, auditing, tax advice, general business
guidance and financial consulting. In addition, many have special expertise in
particular fields, such as international taxation or information technology.
