The founding members started to build INPACT (International Network of Professional Accountants) in 1989 with a European perspective in response to a growing demand for integrated international services in corporate accounting, audit, taxation, consultancy, financial planning and management. Then, as today, this demand came from more companies on the point of entering the international arena, and from those already operating in more than one country, it embraced a like-minded network of CPA firms in the Americas and linked up with an alliance of practices in the Asia Pacific region, so paving way for new opportunities.

The INPACT alliance aims to help members ensure that their clients are able to draw on the local technical expertise of member firms throughout the network and continues to provide a framework for its members to assist their clients in meeting the challenges of today's increasingly global business as well and eliminate the barriers of language and commercial customs throughout the world.
