What you get
Help with the things that take up your time
Running an independent practice means handling compliance, clients, staff and growth without the back-office support of a larger firm. Membership gives you support across all of it.
Keeping up with compliance
A free technical helpline from HAT, a free cyber security review from Mitigo and a free PII benchmarking review from QPI.
Winning the right clients
A free SEO audit and reduced-price marketing from our in-house team, who already market professional firms across the UK.
Doing more for your clients
Introduce clients to vetted specialists in estate planning, incorporation, funding and financial advice. You keep the relationship and earn a referral fee.
Keeping your team sharp
AI training through T-Tech, soft-skills training from The Professional Alternative, and discounted HR and CPD from Mercia.
Not going it alone
Peer groups, roundtables, online CPD clubs and events with practices facing the same challenges. Founder members help choose the first topics.
Planning what’s next
Support whether you want to grow, merge or plan succession, with access to M&A advisers who know independent practices.
The numbers
And for a typical firm, it pays for itself
Savings on services you already buy, plus a handful of client introductions, are designed to cover the fee. You don’t need to use every partner.
Our calculator shows what it could be worth to your practice, using the services you actually use.
Calculate your returnExample firm, first year
Uses four partner services and makes ten client introductions.
Illustrative. The referral income includes one incorporation and one financial advice introduction. Your results depend on the services you use and the introductions you make.

Who’s behind it
New network, experienced team
Goldsmith Alliance is the sister network to CharterGroup Alliance, which has supported independent chartered accountants since 1986. The same team runs both, so members get people who already know how independent practices work.
