ICAEW Beds, Bucks & Herts

ICAEW Beds, Bucks & Herts was first formed as a branch of the London Society in 1959, becoming a separate society ten years later. It serves over 8,000 members and is the second largest society outside of London. As ICAEW's local member community, it is here to represent all its members in the area, at whatever stage in their career, including those who are recently qualified, working in practice, business, public and third sectors. It also represents the interests of ICAEW Chartered Accountants to the wider business community.

If you want to know more about the volunteer ICAEW Chartered Accountants who represent the profession locally, or you have an enthusiasm for new ideas and want to champion these to fellow members, then please contact Kim Shield at kim.shield@icaew.com or call +44 (0)1223 654 682.

Why getting involved can make a real difference

With District Society AGMs just around the corner, this is a great time to find out more about your local member group and to get involved with your committee. We spoke to some members who’ve already taken that step - and explored the many ways that they – and their fellow members – have benefited from their involvement

Local evening discussion groups

Thought-provoking discussions, technical updates and networking with fellow BBH members take place regularly at locations around the district.
