INPACT

What INPACT does

INPACT (legally INPACT International Ltd.) is a London-headquartered international association of independent accounting firms, operating since 1989. It coordinates a global alliance of more than 100 carefully selected member firms across 60+ countries and 150 locations, collectively employing over 3,000 professionals and generating more than $186 million in annual fee income. The member firms remain legally independent and locally owned, gaining access to cross-border referrals, knowledge sharing, professional development, and marketing support through the alliance.

The alliance's core products include the Global Directory (a searchable public directory of member firms), INPACT Academy (CPD-accredited online training for member firm staff), INPACT Marketplace (a business matchmaking platform for cross-border referrals), and a calendar of global and regional conferences and events. Operations are coordinated by a small London-based executive team (four core staff including the Executive Director) plus a regional coordination presence in Hong Kong, governed by a Global Board and two regional boards (EMEAA and Asia Pacific).

INPACT's revenue is generated primarily through annual membership subscription fees paid by member firms, supplemented by event-related income. Membership is acquired through a selective, peer-led five-step process involving enquiry, application, peer discussions, and final regional board approval. The alliance monetizes indirectly by enabling members to serve internationally active clients they could not otherwise support, with exclusive territorial coverage awarded to each member. Brand credibility is reinforced by IAB World Rankings (14th in 2023) and the 2023 Rising Star Association of the Year award.
