I appreciate your guidance and advice to improve my communication skills and broadening my network worldwide. I am very thankful for that. There is no reason for me to complain about dissatisfaction; in fact I am very glad that I am an Affilica member.

We are seing the benefit of taking membership in Affilica International. We can now tender for better types of audit and consulting assignments, which we could not do before. Bigger clients require international affiliation to appoint their external auditors and we are getting this work. Certain government departments and NGOs require international affiliation to appoint their professionals and we are now able to bid for their professional work due to our Affilica membership.
Affilica CEO: Thank you for telling us your experience. Wish you every success.

Alexandra Pereira, Portugal lawyer, joined Affilica, arranged a meeting with Affilica CEO at her stall at a London exhibition for holiday-home overseas. Affilica received an enquiry from a Spanish real estate developer looking for a Portuguese speaking lawyer. We introduced. Alexandra later reported the Spanish had appointed her law practice to handle legal work for the sale of 1,350 apartments it was building in a Brazil holiday resort; buyers from UK, Spain, USA, Germany, Portugal and Brazil.
Affilica CEO: At an estimated fee of say US$300 to buy each of the 1,350 units, this practice struck new fee income of around US$ 0.4 million. Additional fees would arise from re-sale, inheritance, litigation, tax planning, lettings contracts, re-mortgage and so on. Glad to see this outcome.

LeQuid, J. Dutilh Business Law Firm ( Madrid, Spain )
Our Affilica membership has proven to be very useful for retention of clients because they know our firm belongs to a worldwide alliance of professional firms. We had useful contact with members from other jurisdictions e.g. Malta, Italy. We were able to refer potential clients to other colleagues, specifically in Italy.
Affilica CEO: Good to see your success story that your Affilica membership enables your practice expansion.
Abdulraheem Oladele ACA
HDA Audit ( Kaduna, Nigeria )
Our Affilica membership has enabled us to apply for two audit assignments which require international affiliation as a precondition. Our staff are excited and proud to be working for a firm that now has an international dimension; this is a morale booster. Many organisations prefer to deal with professional firms with a global connection. This was a sort for barrier for us in the past but with Affilica membership we are now overcoming this. Thank you.
Affilica CEO: Thank you for your endorsement. It is good to see Affilica has brought you results.

Our visit to a fellow Affilica member in Milan was successful as we have now developed connection there with that excellent CPA firm. Our client in Milan is happy with our services and our knowledge, and they have engaged us in India and other three countries where we have associates. I hope to get your support in the future for more of such connections with other Affilica members.

At the “Great Hotels of the World” gala dinner (300 persons) at a large central London hotel, there were five persons at my table. The person sitting to my left was an Englishman who operates a diversified finance and tourism operation in Indonesia. He asked me what I do and I mentioned about Affilica and the E-Magazine that goes out to 18,000 professionals worldwide. He said he has been receiving Affilica E-Magazine for the last two years. And he said he has emailed me a year ago. What a small world; I was staggered and amazed.
Affilica CEO: Glad to see Affilica membership has boosted your practice fee income.

We have had several comments from our clients on becoming a member of Affilica. They were clearly interested in what Affilica as a group does when they saw the Affilica logo displayed in our office and on our business cards. We believe the prestige of our company has increased since we joined Affilica as now clients have a very strong reason to perceive us as being an international company in many aspects.
Affilica CEO: Thank you for your positive feedback and the upturn for you.

Our firm’s partner Mr. Yu and I have held a meeting with the Affilica member Ms. Pathomporn of Bangkok, Thailand last Tuesday.

The meeting was a success and now she will present that to her client for their final decision.

We have received a number of good enquires, culminating recently in the conclusion of a business arrangement with a Chartered Accountancy firm. This resulted in the transfer of the management of a significant number of offshore registered companies to ourselves. The management fees that we will generate in the coming months and years are due, in no small part, to our membership of Affilica International. Many Thanks for all your efforts and please keep the leads coming!
Affilica CEO: Thank you for confirming your progress. You have recovered your membership cost.

After we joined Affilica, we have got three clients in Pharmaceuticals and one in sea transportation. At the beginning of this January we got a deal to audit a local bank. A good friend who practices as a lawyer could become a new member; I have got his approval to send you his email address.
Affilica CEO: Glad to see your feedback and happy to see it is value for money for your practice.

We have found the international connections provided by Affilica to be useful, in that we have both received and referred work to other professional firms in other countries.
Affilica CEO: Nice to see it happens for you.

The benefit of Affilica is partly the referral of new clients, and also to build trust into your practice. This is relevant for retaining your existing clients, in particular when they go international, but could also be attractive for your colleagues´ clients if you are internationally affiliated when they are not. In addition, Affilica is very helpful in checking your marketing material, and holds conferences in interesting international places that helps to keep the mind open for the broad international aspects of business. All in all, I have improved my marketing skills during membership with Affilica so that I am more confident to get my clients whereever it makes sense for me rather than waiting for referrals.
Affilica CEO: Thank you for your frank endorsement.
Jitendra Chartered Accountants

The confidence level of our clients, banks and government organisations has increased since we joined Affilica International. One of our clients wanted to form a company in UK and wished to have a valid work permit; our affiliate a U.K. Affilica member served our client successfully and their fee was moderate.
Affilica CEO: Glad to see Affilica provides the way forward for a better prosperity.

Since joining Affilica, I have assisted 3 firms with their operations in addition to which my current main client (China based). It is undoubted that unless I had the support of Affilica, the concept of being affiliated to a genuine international network, my credibility would not have been as strong. In terms of having your investment repaid, the cost of membership is negligible by any measure, simply taking on one referral through the organisation should be more than sufficient to return your investment.
Affilica CEO: Thank you for your honest opinion of your experience.

We are to about to sign new contracts with our new Japanese client. I hope this assignment will generate new income for our practice. Consequently it should be said “The Affilica name created that opportunity for us with the combination of our expertise” and I believe it will be worth more.
Affilica CEO: Glad to see Affilica has opened valuable doors for your practice growth.
