Supporting Startups and Investors- Together as One
Founded in 1979, Alliott Global Alliance has lawyers, accountants, tax advisors and auditors in over 95 countries worldwide who provide a complete legal, tax and accounting solution for startups, growth companies and investors.
True Global Reach
Although each professional is an expert in their own country, they also act as a regional or global solution provider to companies setting up, expanding, or looking to invest across borders. Each office has been carefully selected for its specialist expertise.
A Collaborative Global Multidisciplinary Team
Clients benefit from the knowledge, efficiency, and effectiveness of AGA professionals, many of whom have worked for the big global consulting firms. When needed, a locally based office will coordinate a team of legal, tax and accounting experts who will handle all requirements as specified in your startup or investor journey, whether company formation, strategic advice on expansion, and scale-ups and high growth companies, advice on venture capital financing. Clients benefit from the experience and close working relationships of AGA professionals who often act for the same companies in different countries.
Service of a Uniformly High Standard Across the World
The Together as One service model ensures clients can count on a uniformly high service standard almost anywhere in the world. Expect responsiveness, clear communication, transparency and technical excellence when doing business in Berlin, Germany or in Brisbane, Australia.
