advisory and compliance services.

All CELIA Alliance member firms share a common set of aims and values and are committed

working together on shared projects and will adapt our ways of working to your particular

needs, working either through one member firm or through individual firms in different

jurisdictions – it’s up to you.

The CELIA Alliance offers clients access to a truly global service, enabling us to meet your needs

wherever in the world they arise. CELIA Alliance client projects over the last few years have

extended to over 65 countries across six continents.

In jurisdictions where there is no CELIA Alliance member, projects are conducted with firms who

match our skill base and are selected for their ability to deliver to our clients’ requirements and

our standards.
