KLCO collaboration network

Independent firms, working together.

KLCO Group is developing a network of independent, like-minded accounting and professional firms that share knowledge, develop people and capabilities, coordinate complementary services and create opportunities to grow together. KLCO develops alongside the network and continues building its own capabilities.

How the network should work

Client first

Practical, coordinated service for SMEs is the common objective.

Originating-firm ownership

The originating firm keeps the primary client relationship.

Independent firms

Every firm keeps its own identity and responsibility for agreed work.

Shared quality and knowledge

Useful tools, peer learning and clear expectations support consistent delivery.

Grow together

Participating accountants and firms develop capabilities while KLCO does the same alongside them.

Clear handoffs and independence

Scopes, client contact and regulated engagements are agreed and kept appropriately separate.
