Be Part of Your ICB Community and Join a Branch Meeting!
Being an ICB member means more than holding a qualification – you're part of a vibrant, supportive network of bookkeeping professionals across the UK.
Branches are based around counties and with most meetings held online, it's easier than ever to connect with your local branch no matter where you live. Simply check our events page to see upcoming branch meetings.
Why Attend a Branch Meeting?
Whether you're new to ICB or a seasoned professional, there's something for everyone at a branch meeting. Here's what you'll gain:
Regular CPD
Branch meetings are a easy, flexible way to keep your CPD up to date. Simply log in, engage, and keep your skills sharp without leaving your desk, or attend an in person meeting at a location convenient to you.
Build Real Connections
These meetings are a way to connect with fellow members in your area. Whether you’re swapping stories, solving challenges, or looking for collaboration opportunities, the community support is real and lasting. You might meet your next client, mentor, or business partner.
Grow Your Confidence
If networking feels intimidating, you’re not alone. ICB branch meetings offer a relaxed, welcoming space where everyone shares a common goal: to support and uplift each other. It's a friendly, low-pressure environment which is perfect for stepping out of your comfort zone at your own pace.
Get Inspired and Stay Motivated
Being self-employed or running your own practice can feel isolating. Branch meetings offer that regular boost of motivation and fresh ideas to help you stay on track and push your goals further. Hearing how others are tackling the same challenges can be incredibly reassuring and also inspiring.
Your Branch is Waiting
Each ICB branch is run by members, for members - people who understand your journey and are here to help. Don’t miss out on the chance to learn, grow, and connect with your professional community.
"I would like to say a huge thanks to everyone for being so nice and welcoming on what was my first meeting. I had been apprehensive for a while but I'm so glad I finally did go. It was nice to meet a few different people, who are at different stages of progression in their bookkeeping careers, and I came out feeling very enthusiastic and raring to put my skills to some good use [...] I look forward to attending future meetings and would recommend them to anyone thinking of going along."
