What Alliott Group does

Alliott Global Alliance (AGA), commonly referred to as Alliott Group, is an international alliance of independent accounting and law firms founded in 1979 and headquartered at Manfield House, 1 Southampton Street, London, UK. The alliance comprises 236 member firms operating from 340 offices across 259 cities in 105 countries and 6 continents, with a combined headcount of approximately 8,181 staff. Member firms are independently owned and legally distinct entities; the alliance itself is a London-based executive office that coordinates the network, led by CEO Giles Brake. Its primary customer segment is medium-sized international businesses requiring cross-border professional services, alongside multinational groups with $1-49M turnover needing statutory audits, companies with mobile workforces, and international businesses engaged in cross-border M&A or restructuring.

The alliance delivers core services (Tax, Accounting & Audit, Business Legal, Payroll & HR, Company Secretarial) bundled regionally alongside specialist solutions (Cross Border M&A, Fraud & Asset Recovery, Franchising, Private Wealth, Global Mobility, Transfer Pricing, Tech & Investors, Aviation and Support Services). Underlying technology is limited to a member portal and mobile app hosted on Microsoft Azure, with preferred-partner integrations to CaseWare (cloud audit and analytics), ReloTalent (global mobility management), Engineered Tax Services (US R&D and real estate tax credits), Xe (FX), and The Expat Academy. Approximately 10,000 audits are conducted annually by member firms.

The business model combines two revenue streams: annual membership fees paid by independent firms to join the alliance, and referral commissions/coordination fees when cross-border engagements are routed between member firms. In 2022, the alliance generated approximately US$11.4M of referral income for member firms at a 76% response rate, with member firms reporting EUR 600-800K average annual referral income and a 3.5-4x ROI on membership costs. GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven, executed through regional leaders across EMEA (141 firms, 166 cities), Asia Pacific (42 firms), Latin America & Caribbean (24 firms), and North America. Marketing channels include the website, international events/conferences, practice groups, a quarterly Global Mobility newsletter, and a member-only mobile app.
