Welcome to the website of ALTA – the Association of Licensed Trade Accountants.

Open to accountants and related licensed trade services across the UK, the organisation will help a challenged industry during increasingly challenging times.

ALTA’s objectives are consultation, collaboration and co-operation. Our highly experienced members will provide credibility and guarantee confidence among publicans, licensees and multiple operators.

We will ensure that the Trade can access specialist providers of accountancy services safe in the knowledge that ALTA members have proven qualifications and levels of experience.

We embrace the principle that “Good financial advice and disciplines are the foundation for running any successful business”.

ALTA members will also be able to share examples of best practice and speak collectively on accountancy issues affecting the industry at regional seminars for members.

Our industry supporters include the British Institute of Innkeepers (BII), and the Association of Valuers of Licensed Property (AVLP). partners page
