TBLA Core Values
Caring, Professional, Progressive
Caring
At the heart of our practice is a deep commitment to care. We care for our clients, our team, our communities, and our planet. This care extends beyond our immediate work, embracing the intrinsic value of nature and the well-being of future generations. Our approach to caring is felt in every interaction and decision we make.
Professional
We uphold the highest standards of integrity, expertise, and ethical conduct. Our professionalism is reflected in our continuous learning, our respect for confidentiality, and our dedication to providing reliable, honest, and knowledgeable service to our clients.
Progressive
We are at the forefront of change in the accounting industry. Our progressive mindset drives us to constantly innovate, question the status quo, and seek better solutions for our clients and the world. We embrace new technologies and ideas that align with our vision of a sustainable future.
Declaration of Interdependence
TBLA envisions a global economy that uses business as a force for good. This economy is comprised of a new type of corporation – the B Corporation – which is purpose-driven and creates benefit for all stakeholders, not just shareholders.
As Certified B Corporations and leaders of this emerging economy, we believe:
- That we must be the change we seek in the world.
- That all business ought to be conducted as if people and place mattered.
- That, through their products, practices, and profits, businesses should aspire to do no harm and benefit all.
- To do so requires that we act with the understanding that we are each dependent upon another and thus responsible for each other and future generations.

TBLA’s commitment to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Now, more than ever, is our commitment required to accelerate change. One of the ways we make a difference is through our Giving Partner, B1G1’s ‘Business for Good’ movement, which helps TBLA drive progress on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by United Nations member states. We strive to integrate a selection of goals into our daily business operations.
Our Global Impact by project
Through B1G1 we keep track of our progress via this independently verified real time data.
The following chart shows TBLA’s impact on achieving the UN Global Goals towards reducing poverty, zero hunger, education, clean water, literacy, and health through the B1G1 partnership alone. This is not a measurement of our total impact, much of which is unquantifiable and is outlined in our stakeholder impact report here. Much of our further positive impact is aligned with UN SDG goals: Zero Hunger, Good Health & Wellbeing, Decent Work & Economic Growth, Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, and Life on Land (Goals 2, 3, 8,12, 13, 15), as explained in the next section.
B1G1: Providing safe drinking water for families, latrines and maintaining school water pumps in developing countries.
This impact is driven by you… our clients, our colleagues and community of partners, contributing monthly to impactful projects such as providing safe drinking water, building latrines, and maintaining school water pumps in developing countries. For every invoice we raise, we give back through B1G1, integrating a meaningful Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) component into our operations. In 2024, we extended this initiative by incentivising clients to submit self-assessment information promptly. We aim to expand these contributions further, reflecting our commitment to making a tangible difference in global communities while aligning with our values of sustainability and social impact.
