SBC Global Alliance is a global association of independent advisory firms providing coordinated international and cross-border expertise worldwide.

Who We Are

Founded in 2017, SBC Global Alliance was established by founding firms Streets in the UK, Berdugo Metoudi in France and Costanzo & Associates in Italy. As experienced international advisers, the founders believed that existing associations and networks were failing to support independent firms effectively or to deliver joined-up international solutions for clients.

From the outset, SBC Global Alliance was designed to be genuinely international in outlook and coverage. A key part of this has been its relationship with ASNAF, the Federation of ASEAN Accounting Firms. ASNAF is SBC Global Alliance’s exclusive ASEAN member organisation, representing accounting firms across the ASEAN region and throughout Asia, including Australia and New Zealand.

Through this relationship, SBC Global Alliance provides coordinated access to trusted advisers across Asia-Pacific markets, while maintaining shared values around independence, professionalism and collaboration.

Today, SBC Global Alliance brings together carefully selected member firms across more than 35 countries, supporting businesses, organisations and individuals with cross-border tax, accounting, audit and advisory requirements. Our members combine deep local expertise with an international mindset, delivering practical, in-country advice backed by strong professional standards and trusted relationships.

Global Reach & Capability

SBC Global Alliance member firms collectively generate approximately $180 million in annual fee income, providing audit, tax, accounting, assurance, and business advisory services to internationally active clients.

The Alliance supports clients and member firms across the world’s key business and trade regions, including:

  • Europe
  • North America
  • Latin America, including Central and South America
  • Middle East
  • Africa
  • Asia-Pacific, including Southeast Asia, East Asia, Australia and New Zealand

This regional structure reflects how international trade, investment and advisory services operate in practice, rather than purely geographic continent groupings.

Through continued growth in country representation and strategic regional coverage, SBC Global Alliance ensures members and clients have access to meaningful, comparable in-country expertise across major global markets.

Members advise across a wide range of sectors and support both inbound and outbound international activity, combining strong local knowledge with coordinated cross-border collaboration.

Why SBC Global Alliance

SBC Global Alliance provides a trusted international platform for:

  • Businesses and individuals seeking coordinated cross-border advice
  • Independent firms supporting internationally active clients
  • Professional practices looking to grow internationally without losing independence

It is an alliance built on trust, relationships and real-world international experience, designed to deliver value for members and clients alike.

 

Why We Exist

SBC Global Alliance exists to meet the growing needs of businesses and individuals trading, investing or operating internationally — and the independent firms that advise them.

As international activity increases, clients require advisers who can work seamlessly across jurisdictions, understand local markets and coordinate advice effectively. At the same time, independent firms need a credible way to compete internationally without sacrificing autonomy, values or personal client relationships.

The Alliance connects like-minded firms through a structured, relationship-led and commercially focused global platform, designed to support real international work rather than administrative scale.

Our Values

Responsiveness & Responsibility
We act promptly, responsibly and commercially in supporting fellow members and their clients across borders.

Commercially focused by design
The Alliance exists to generate value for members through inbound and outbound opportunities, referrals and coordinated international engagement — not to absorb fees in administrative overhead.

Relationship-led collaboration
Members work together regularly, meet in person, communicate openly and build long-term professional friendships. This trust-driven culture enables faster decisions, better coordination and stronger client outcomes.

Professional Integrity
We act with honesty, fairness and transparency, upholding the highest ethical and professional standards.

Independence with Accountability
Our firms operate autonomously, while taking responsibility for the quality, consistency and professionalism of the services they deliver.

Trust, Relationships & Friendship
Strong professional relationships — and the friendships that develop from them — underpin effective international collaboration. Trust enables open communication, confident referrals and better client outcomes.

Collaborative Partnership
Members collaborate to create value beyond what any single firm could achieve alone, sharing knowledge, experience and opportunity.

Quality before scale
Membership is selective and governed. Firms are admitted based on capability, experience, regulation and cultural alignment, ensuring consistency and credibility across the Alliance.

Independent, but connected
Members retain full independence while benefiting from a structured framework for collaboration, governance and international coordination.
