International list research and building - accountancy firms

General information for the business: Accountancy
Industry: Business
Geographical areas: Thailand and Brazil
Data to include: XYZ is a membership organisation and we are constantly seeking to recruit new accountancy and consulting firms into the network. There is currently a drive for our regional directors to “sell” or engage with new potential members. These firms are most likely members of other accountancy networks. We have some priority countries including Brazil and Thailand, and we are targeting firms in the major commercial centres of those countries.

Of course our target lists are unlikely to include members of existing “networks” eg like GT or the Big 4. However ever there are some quality firms outside of these networks that we wish to attract. In addition we would also consider non accounting firms such as niche consultancy businesses.

In the UK (and US) we are lucky as there are obvious sources of information from which to compile target lists. Its not so clear in other countries.

How much would it cost for you to help us compile target lists? We would be looking for the top 20 firms in each location (outside of the networks) - other info required would be;

Firm name
Location
Name of Managing Partner or other senior partner
Email addresses for above
Telephone number
Number of partners
Number of staff
Turnover
Services supplied
Sectors specialisms
Any niche offering or market
Significant and recent points of change/news/events
Current association - how many years

To get a taste of the investment required would you be able to do this for Thailand (Bankok) and Brazil (Rio)? Could you quote us please?
Extra notes: My feeling is we are focused on market positions 10-25, rather than top 20, and especially in firms that are not using an International brand at the moment.

We need to look at both networks and associations, and with both I would think it best to focus on numbers 7 to 20 in the IAB global rankings. However, we are especially interested to identify material players who do not have any International representation presently.

Businesses with a headcount of less than 30 in total are less likely to be interesting. They need not necessarily be traditional full service accounting firms, and we are interested in niche players in areas such as M&A, transactions and tax specialisms. These might not be members of traditional networks/associations like us.
