Independent Firms.
One Alliance.

Member firms operate across six practice areas: sustainability and climate, corporate governance, investor relations, ESG reporting, digital transformation, and organisational leadership - ensuring the right specialist expertise is available in every region.

GAA selects its members based on their expertise, geographic focus, and proven track record in their market, ensuring each boutique advisory firm brings a level of local depth that generalist firms cannot replicate, while providing the global connectivity and reach that independent firms cannot build on their own.

GAA members serve institutional investors, family offices, private equity firms and both private and listed companies across Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Americas, Africa, and the Middle East. The GAA is on track to 50 founding members.

Learn More About GAA

The independence you chose. Now with the alliance to match.

GAA member firms are led by senior advisors who have held roles at HSBC, AustralianSuper, EY, Shell, CGI, WWF, and leading law firms. They built boutique practices where they could do their best work without institutional constraints.

When you join, you become part of a curated alliance of specialist advisory firms united by a single conviction: that independent firms, working together, can achieve outcomes no single firm could manage alone.

Together GAA members share expertise, collaborate on opportunities, publish thought leadership that reaches further, and access a growing community of global organisations and decision-makers through GAA events and webinars.
