Maclntyre Hudson: Specialist local knowledge - global support

Not only do clients of Maclntyre Hudson have access to our own accountants, they also have the benefit of a global network of experts.Pictured, left to right: Jonathan Scott-Warren (Director and Principal of The Rosscot Group, which organised the conference), Senator Frank Walker and Howard Lewis.

Maclntyre Hudson’s position as a world-class company is highlighted by our key role within CPA Associates International (CPAAI) - a worldwide association of independent accounting firms. The chairman of the organisation’s huge Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region is Maclntyre Hudson principal Howard Lewis – who next month takes over as chairman of the international association.

The benefits to clients of this wealth of international support was apparent at the association's regional conference in Jersey, in September, from the mixed range of technical subjects covered.

The conference - the twelfth of its kind - was the most successful yet, and attracted 65 delegates from all over the World. Participants were joined by Senator Frank Walker – Jersey’s equivalent to our Prime Minister (pictured with Howard).

Howard said "Maclntyre Hudson has been a member of CPAAI for over 20 years and during that time has built up a substantial number of international clients. Being one of the first International members and an active participant in all aspects of the Association has largely contributed to that.

Membership of the association gives our clients access to expertise all over the world. So if clients want to set up a subsidiary or trade with another country – whether it be Dubai, Turkey or The Netherlands – we can give them the right information and put them in touch with the right people. It is an invaluable service – which allows clients to experience a seamless transition from being looked after by Maclntyre Hudson, to a member of our extended family around the world.” CPA factfile
