Branch Network

ICB membership is underpinned by a strong community network of local branches meeting regularly across the country.

We’ve put together a list of our top reasons why you should attend a Branch meeting. 

1. Brain gain

Speakers from leading organisations are regular guests at the branch meetings and are on hand to give you their expert advice. Not only will you be increasing your bookkeeping skills, but you will also be clocking up the hours towards your CPD targets. 

2. Business potential

Branch meetings are a good opportunity to meet other professionals that you could potentially do business with.  

Mingling with other business owners can be an eye-opener and an opportunity to ask advice, as well as the chance to meet a future business partner, employee or employer.

3. Boost confidence

Find “networking” a daunting experience? Networking can seem intimidating, but once you’ve done it, it gets easier and easier. ICB Branch meetings are a relaxed environment for you to meet fellow members; you are all in the same boat and all have something to offer one another. Branch Meetings are organised by members for members. 

4. Continuing Professional Development 

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is not only useful to help you remain knowledgeable and provide a quality service, but it is also an asset to you as a member of ICB. The simplest way for you to achieve CPD points is by attending and getting involved at your local ICB Branch Meetings.  

ICB branches are established within the 12 regions of the UK and with many meeting online, location is no barrier to joining a branch.
