Join BKR

"As the partner at DMLO (Louisville, Kentucky), I had the privilege of collaborating with Iulia Lascau, the Managing Partner at Argus Audit (Bucharest, Romania). Together, we showcased the true spirit of BKR, leveraging our expertise and the global reach of the network to serve our clients with international operations. I met Iulia through BKR, and her international expertise combined with her local understanding made Argus Audit the perfect in-country provider for a US software firm venturing into Romania. Thanks to our partnership and customized services, we successfully met the unique needs of the client. Without this BKR relationship, I would have lost the client.

This partnership allowed us to expand our clientele and establish ourselves as go-to experts in international taxation for those entering the Romanian market. Through positive client experiences, we have solidified our reputation as trusted consultants devoted to our clients' success."

"Throughout my 17-years at Bland, my active engagement with BKR since the early days of the BKR-only Partner Institute has brought immeasurable benefits. This two-year program enabled me to establish professional connections and lifelong friendships. I have relied on these trusted friends for professional advice, discussing family affairs and even enjoying vacation time together. The unparalleled trust within our group has enhanced the value I derive from the leadership class and my association with BKR.

BKR’s leadership training marked a pivotal moment in my career, providing my first-ever formal training in leadership, despite already holding a leadership position. BKR's creation of this invaluable learning platform has significantly contributed to my development as a leader. Inspired by this experience, I initiated "reunion" leadership trainings and established an internal leadership development program at Bland. Today, our leadership development program, combined with the robust BKR program, benefits our entire firm, which has fostered continuous growth and excellence throughout our ranks."

”Our firm is a founding member of BKR International. Our firm, partners and people see this relationship as a strategic alliance that has allowed us to add value to our clients looking to do business globally and also allow global mobility of our people through various secondments (inbound and outbound). Our ability to pick up the phone and contact member firms in major global cities and connect them with our clients and to receive a response within 24 hours is priceless to us and our clients when seeking specialised tax, audit and advisory assistance.

Of recent times, BKR’s ability to create practice groups in the Environmental Social Governance space has allowed us to deliver deep insights to our clients reporting structures and regimes to ensure compliance with mandatory climate reporting and value chain competitiveness. BKR’s collaborative approach to sharing expert ESG knowledge amongst members ensures we are able to advise our global clients on the international aspects of environmental and sustainability reporting”. We are also happy to lead such practice groups as it is our way of giving back to BKR for the benefit of all within the association.”

“Being a member of BKR has really expanded our global reach! Instead of shouting down the hallway with a question, I’m sometimes shouting across the ocean, and that exponentially broadens my knowledge”.

“We may be one of the smaller firms in BKR, but we have firms of varying sizes all around the world to rely on. And they’re our friends.”

"The BKR advantage since joining the association is clear for Harris & Trotter LLP. Through the association's extensive network and resources, we have secured over £1m of referred work. BKR’s collaborative environment and shared knowledge have contributed to the expansion of our client base and to our exponential growth.
BKR has proven to be an invaluable platform not only for professional development but also business opportunities."

"Committed to excellence on a global scale, our membership in BKR ensures that we remain a reliable partner for international business ventures, combining local insights with a global perspective to achieve our clients' success.

Recent collaborations with BKR member firms in Europe include financial audits and audit & tax due diligence assignments in Austria (Artus), Netherlands (Flynth), Italy (B&C Tax), and France (Exponens); dedicated support in accounting, tax compliance, and payroll services to clients referred by Harris & Trotter LLP, UNW (UK) and Flynth (Netherlands), as well as collaborations with Schiff-Martini (Germany), Artus (Austria), and Harris & Trotter LLP on comprehensive international global mobility solutions."

"Being a member of BKR has been an asset for Ormsby and Rhodes, significantly broadening our professional horizons across international boundaries. Throughout the years of our membership, we have collaborated with many member firms from the US, Germany, UK, France, and the Philippines and more. This has not only been enriching experience, fostering valuable relationships and sharing knowledge and expertise, but has translated into real business opportunities for Ormsby and Rhodes. We have also on numerous occasions, referred clients to reliable partners in different countries, seamlessly meeting their international needs.

BKR's global network has undeniably amplified our success, demonstrating the real benefits of being part of this global association".
