Expanding Overseas

Expanding overseas brings many new challenges. You’ll need to consider different tax and legal structures, banking systems, employment laws and import/export regulations. Developing countries are changing fast in these areas, bringing sometimes unforeseen business costs into play.

If you’ve decided to expand overseas, on-the-ground international business experts are vital – but how do you know who to trust?

Through our global association with MGI Worldwide, Accru has direct contact with accounting firms in over 60 countries who can provide you with high quality, on-the-ground support wherever you intend to operate.

We regularly use our MGI Worldwide connections to help our clients expand overseas. They benefit from:

  • Trustworthy overseas partners MGI Worldwide member firms must meet high quality, globally recognised standards of accounting practice. We have personally worked with a number of them for years and can attest to their professionalism.
