The DCF club
Building a base of multidisciplinary skills around the leader: the DCF club
RBA maintains regular but non-exclusive relationships with several renowned professionals (lawyers, notaries, …) to provide clients with comprehensive solutions. The firm therefore decided to create a club, the Droit, Chiffres et Finance (Law, Figures and Finance) Club, to promote interprofessional and intergenerational exchanges between the various stakeholders of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Through this exchange, lawyers, notaries, financial advisors, accountants and auditors can thus keep up with the latest changes in their respective fields in order to anticipate the impacts on companies and build suitable solutions together, in record time.
Together, they all contribute to think tanks in the fields of law, accounting and finance in order to promote possible evolutions.
Lastly, they can share their knowledge and best practices with a receptive audience of professionals, leaders and executives.
