ACCACE Global

Accace is an international business process outsourcing and advisory firm that handles accounting, payroll, HR, tax, legal and corporate services for companies expanding or operating across borders. Founded in 2006 as a local accounting firm, it now reports more than 7,000 professionals and a network covering over 60 jurisdictions.

The company began with 34 employees and grew after noticing that clients preferred a single provider for their internal processes; its name is a play on accounting ace. Services are delivered under a managed model with one point of contact, supported by in-house developed systems and automation. Clients can order tax and legal services through an online eShop or book a consultant call, and an advisory portal provides document exchange, custom workflows, online forms and a hotline.
