Who we are
A unified global brand of independent, exclusive partners.
Through WONE Global, businesses reach law, tax, accounting, audit and business advisory services in 100 countries, under one brand and one published Standard.
In each country, each service is led by one independent Partner, admitted to WONE Global after review against published criteria. Where no Partner is in place yet, WONE Global introduces a vetted Associate firm and tells you who it is before work begins. Partners keep their own practice, regulator and fees. WONE Global sets the Standard, presents the brand and coordinates work that crosses borders.
Admitted and reviewed
Every Partner is admitted against published criteria and reviewed every quarter on response times, client ratings, confidentiality and conduct.
Coordinated across borders
When work involves several countries or capabilities, a single WONE Global contact plans it, brings in the partners involved and keeps the work joined up.
