The AAAE: European Accounting and European Audit
The Association of Accountants and Auditors in Europe (AAAE) is a European Economic Interest Group of experienced, independent accounting, tax and business advisory firms. It was established in 1991 and each member has their own client base.
Dedicated service
Your business interests will be looked after by the principals of each member firm, ensuring a personal and confidential service. AAAE members provide the highest quality expertise available in their respective countries.
International expertise
You will receive a high quality, efficient service in whichever member country you do business. We meet regularly to ensure all members understand one another’s business climate and regulations, and have good knowledge of one another’s business approach.
We have member firms in Belgium, Cyprus, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, with new members expected soon. All Continental member firms speak English and the UK firm speaks French, facilitating good business communication.
Local knowledge
You will benefit from the expert local knowledge of every member firm. We are all closely involved in our local communities and we service small to medium sized businesses in our own countries. Contact your local member firm for a confidential discussion of your needs.
Diverse experience
Member firms have a diverse client range covering sole traders, partnerships, wealthy individuals, limited liability partnerships and small and medium-sized limited companies, some of which are subsidiaries of foreign companies. Clients are involved in manufacturing and service industries, the professions, research, “hi-tech”, agriculture, construction and textiles.
