About us
The Liverpool Society of Chartered Accountants is proud to be the oldest Society of Chartered Accountants in the country, having been formed in 1870. It is one of the four Founding Societies of the ICAEW.
The Society plays a key role in the training and development of chartered accountants, offering excellent technical and soft skills courses.
We are pleased to have strong links with other professional organisations in the area. We also act as a link between the ICAEW in Moorgate Place and members in the district. We are always keen to hear from members who wish to become more involved with our work.
