Breakdown by service line
Audit and accountancy - up 10.6% ($4.9bn)
of total revenue
Audit and Accountancy represents the largest line of business across the Praxity Alliance, with half of all revenue coming through these disciplines. The need for accuracy and rigour is ever-present and Praxity firms remain exemplary in this area. The double-digit growth represents a stunning achievement on the part of Praxity members.

Revenue from tax services has increased by almost as much, with a quarter of total revenue achieved in this area.

In support of this, yet more strong growth can be seen in the advisory service line, representing around one-fifth of revenue within the Alliance. Member firms’ clients can continue to feel confident and reassured, with outstanding results evident worldwide.

Praxity CEO Sam Louis was delighted to see the positive results, with the figures providing verification of the excellent work member firms continually do –
“Growth is of course fantastic news for the Alliance, but I would also like to shine a light on member firms’ excellent service to their clients. These results are only possible when firms ensure their clients are happy and get the service they deserve. Praxity members are playing a leading role in defining what client service constitutes and what it means for outcomes.”
Truly global solutions
Praxity members represent some of the world’s leading accountancy professionals in over 120 countries. Firms are united by three things: collaboration, communication and client delivery excellence. The Alliance has seen growth through the addition of new firms, just as existing members have continued to grow in their own revenues, sometimes to a spectacular degree. With multi-firm representation in many countries, Praxity’s reach benefits both members and their client base.
Seamless connectivity and a commitment to each other’s client work, as laid out in the Praxity Charter, ensure that member’s clients always receive the service that’s right for them.
Among such encouraging news, Praxity leaders can look forward to 2024 with confidence. In a shifting global business environment, being flexible and agile is crucial. The Praxity Alliance strengthens its member firms to help them deliver outstanding work across the world.
