The Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA), founded in 1916, is an internationally recognized professional accounting body and a full member of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), the global legislator and regulatory body in the field of accounting.

IFA is part of the Institute of Public Accountants (IPA) of the Australian Group, the world's largest accounting group focused on SMEs, with more than 42,000 members and students in more than 80 countries.

The company's employees work at micro - and small-and medium - sized businesses (SMEs) or in the field of accounting for micro-and small-and medium-sized businesses (SMP), advising micro-and small-business clients.

Paying special attention to small and medium-sized enterprises
At IFA, the companies put SMEs first, recognize their role as creators of vital wealth, as employers for more than half of the UK private sector workforce, and as the force behind dynamic urban and rural communities.

They equally respect the interests of SMPS in the accounting profession and are proud of their unique relationships with their members, who mostly come from small and medium-sized businesses.

As a professional accounting body, the company strives to provide the best support and recommendations to its members who work in this field, often adapting policies and recommendations to solve unique tasks and trade relations related to small businesses.

Their goal is to continuously meet the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises in the UK and in the entire international market. The companies offer a wide range of services and benefits that have been specifically considered as part of the attention to supporting their participants in the small and medium-sized business/SMP sector.

The company is also recognized by Her Majesty's Treasury for regulating the activities of IFA members for the purposes of the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 and 2019.
