German term or phrase: Erfolge verbuchen

"Weltweit Erfolge verbuchen" ist der Slogan für eine internationale Finanzbuchhaltungssoftware. Das Wortspiel im Deutschen geht auf die Doppeldeutigkeit des Begriffs "verbuchen" ein (im buchhalterischen Sinne + als "einen Erfolg für sich verbuchen").
Mir will einfach nichts einfallen, was im Englischen in irgendeiner Weise an das deutsche ran kommt. JEmand eine brilliante Idee? Vielen Dank im Voraus.

A record of global success / A credit to global success

Explanation:
No, I don't like either of these either, but perhaps get "record" in there somewhere if you want the wordplay (although admittedly one with a different message).
