Membership

The 2020 Membership Group is the leading membership organisation for progressive accountants and tax professionals in the United Kingdom and Ireland.

It was founded in the 1990s by three of the best-known consultants and seminar leaders in the profession, Ian Fletcher, Chris Frederiksen, and Gordon Gilchrist. They recognised that historical compliance services were likely to be limited growth areas for accountants and that progressive firms would need to offer their clients more value-added services. For that, new tools and ideas would be needed.

Ian, Chris and Gordon also recognised that firms would need to improve their efficiency dramatically and embrace new technology. One aspect of 2020 Membership is access to the latest tools for marketing and managing your practice and improving profits.

The 2020 Membership Group has grown steadily over the years, and currently has over 1200 member firms in the U.K. and Ireland, and well-established membership groups in other countries, including the U.S.A., Canada, and other English-speaking countries. Firms of all sizes are welcome to join the group – the vast majority of members are firms with one to ten equity owners.
