BAHA - The British Association of Hospitality Accountants

How To Join

The British Association of Hospitality Accountants (BAHA) was formed in 1969 with the aim of bringing together those professionals who were involved in financial management and control within the hotel industry. Since inception the membership has expanded to include systems specialists, hospitality consultants and accountants, bankers, investment analysts, property professionals, academics and others who retain an interest in the hotel, catering and leisure sectors.

BAHA has become recognised over the years as an authoritative voice in the hotel, catering and leisure industry on financial management, technical accounting issues, taxation, hotel valuation and other related aspects.

Members come from both large and small companies - and all share a desire to see the hospitality industry progress through ensuring a high standard of financial management at all levels.

BAHA hold many regular meetings both in London and the Regions. We also arrange Conferences and Social Events throughout the year. We provide access to industry specific publications and manage ongoing vocational training.
