Success Stories of Collaboration

Here are just a few examples of how LEA Global has helped companies like yours:

When a middle market firm set out to conduct business internationally, it initially found it difficult to establish connections with local accounting, banking and attorneys. Reaching out to another LEA Global member, it was able to quickly build new relationships and gain local familiarity. This helped the company cut through the red tape involved in setting up business internationally. It also reassured the firm that LEA Global would provide them with the necessary, specialized international knowledge they needed.

A U.S. provider of sophisticated electronics equipment faced a multimillion-dollar assessment for uncollected sales tax in the state of Washington. Its Oregon-based LEA Global firm reached out to a fellow member firm in Washington who used a past case to convince the states auditor to drop the assessment altogether.

When a company with subsidiaries around the world wanted to outsource its tax function, it considered an LEA Global firm and a Big 4 accounting firm. To ensure it could beat competition, the LEA Global firm sought support from fellow members located at the same location as the company's subsidiaries. By including a wider network of firms, it could demonstrate an expansive reach, customized approach and diversified exposure. It turned out to be the right call, as the company decided its complete global outsourcing solutions should be provided by the LEA Global firm.

Being a member of LEA Global has expanded our scope of business capabilities worldwide. Commitment must be the main word to be part of (the association). Being part of this big organization ensures we have partners all over the world.

Our firm has been a member of LEA for many years. During that time, we have benefited greatly from the sharing of best practice ideas and the development of relationships on a national and international basis. These interactions have resulted in improvements to our firm’s overall operations and our ability to work with our clients on a global level.

LEA Global is not just a professional alliance; it's a family where members support each other and are willing to share best practice and knowledge to make each firm more successful. And the client introductions help too! Members are collegial; there's a great camaraderie and I leave every conference and interaction richer in terms of how to deal with clients and how best to manage the firm.

At RBK our simple philosophy is to become the best professional services firm in our market. The relationships that we have developed through LEA Global is invaluable in our journey to achieving this. Our membership has improved our ability to work with our clients on an international level, and has greatly improved our understanding of best practice ideas which also leads to a more comprehensive service that we can offer to our clients. A recent visit to an international partner allowed us to compare and contrast on our structures and services, something that was only made possible through our membership to LEA. The value in receiving referrals from our LEA partners whose clients are looking to establish a presence in Ireland is immeasurable.
