Russell Bedford International has surpassed $1bn (£743.8m) in global network revenues for the first time, marking a major milestone for the global network of independent accounting, audit, tax and consulting firms.
In 2025, the network achieved $1.01bn (£751m) in global fee income, representing 10% year-on-year growth, as set out in its Global Performance Report 2025. This was driven by 6% organic growth and a further 4% from eight new member firms joining the network during the year.
Growth was recorded across all regions, with particularly strong increases in Africa (+28%), Asia Pacific (+21%) and the Middle East (+18%), alongside solid growth in Europe (+8%), Latin America (+7%) and North America (+6%).
Russell Bedford is now represented by more than 11,000 professionals across 396 offices in 105 countries, reflecting continued expansion and collaboration throughout its international network. The year also saw record attendance at the network’s Annual Global Conference in Madrid, highlighting increasing engagement between member firms worldwide.
Stephen Hamlet, CEO of Russell Bedford International, said: “Surpassing $1bn in global revenues is a significant milestone for Russell Bedford. Our network is built on connections and collaboration, centred around quality, and I take immense pride in the growth we have achieved together in recent years.
“We are seeing strong momentum across every region, highlighting increased demand for international professional services. This progress reflects the strength of our people and our shared commitment to excellence.”
Daniel Ryba, chair of Russell Bedford International, added: “Operating in a context of intense competition, our distinction depends on two unwavering commitments: maintaining the highest professional standards and fostering teamwork across our member firms in more than 100 countries. These commitments have been the backbone of our resilience and progress this year, and it is extremely encouraging to see such strong growth and engagement across the network.”
