RUSSELL BEDFORD BEGINS EXPANSION OF ITS MEXICAN CPA FIRM NETWORK

Riojas Zambrano Morales Troncoso y Asociados, S.C. (RZMT), Monterrey, has joined the Russell Bedford global network of independent CPA firms.

(PRWEB) August 29, 2003 -- The Russell Bedford group of professional services firms has begun the expansion of its network in Mexico by taking on a new member firm in Monterrey, Nuevo León.

The new member is the public accounting firm Riojas Zambrano Morales Troncoso y Asociados, S.C. (RZMT).

RZMT was created in 2002 as the result of the merger of four independent firms, established between 1993 and 1997.

The firm has three partners - Eloy Zambrano Álvarez, Ricardo Troncoso Rodriguez and Baldomero Riojas Luna - all of whom are certified public accountants with more than 12 years of professional experience.

RZMT provides a broad range of services including accounting, auditing, tax compliance, valuation, litigation support, estate planning and management. The firm has specialist knowledge of various sectors including the heavy industries, manufacturing, maquiladora (in-bond) assembly facilities, commerce, financial services and education.

The firm has international clients with operations in the USA, Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, Germany, Sweden, the UK and Poland.

According to RZMT partner Eloy Zambrano, his firm decided to join Russell Bedford to gain access to international resources while remaining independent. "As globalisation continues and clients demand multi-national services, it is becoming increasingly important for independent CPA firms to have the support of an international brand name and to have a network of contacts outside the local market," he said. "Joining forces with Russell Bedford will enable us to offer both existing and future clients the high quality international service they expect and deserve."

RZMT's location, Monterrey, is situated in the north east of Mexico and is considered to be the industrial capital. It has a population of some four million and is the country's third largest city.

Russell Bedford has a long-established member firm in Mexico City and is currently seeking to develop its network throughout Mexico by finding member firms in all the key commercial locations.
