Russell Bedford International was established in 1983 by an association of medium-sized independent firms of chartered accountants and certified public accountants, aiming to counter the market dominance of the major multi-national accounting groups.

Russell Bedford is now a closely-connected global network of independent accounting, audit and business consultancy practices in key locations around the world, and is represented in some 50 countries in Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, Africa and Asia-Pacific.

All Russell Bedford affiliates are well-established firms offering international business advice and services to local and multinational clients. Most provide a full range of services comprising accounting, auditing, tax advice, general business guidance and financial consulting. In addition, many have special expertise in particular fields, such as international taxation or forensic investigations.
