MGI and Miles Masterclass launch global partnership to build AI-ready accounting teams
MGI Worldwide is proud to announce it has partnered with Miles Masterclass Inc. to help its member firms turn AI ambition into everyday capability. The global collaboration focuses on helping accounting firms across the network develop the skills, systems, and mindset required to thrive in an AI-enabled profession.
Building practical AI capability
As AI reshapes how accounting services are delivered, firms everywhere run into the same obstacle: turning AI investment into real adoption. Leadership increasingly understands why AI matters strategically, yet many firms still lack a structured approach to equipping their professionals with the practical skills to put these tools to work in day-to-day client engagements.
The partnership provides MGI member firms with access to a structured learning ecosystem designed specifically for accounting professionals. It pairs practitioner-led instruction with hands-on experimentation, enabling firms to build durable AI capability team by team. At its core is the Miles Masterclass AI-in-Accounting Competency Framework, which takes professionals from foundational AI knowledge through function-specific application to full firm-wide transformation.
"For our member firms, staying competitive increasingly comes down to how well their people can put new technology to work. This partnership gives firms across our network practical, hands-on education that closes the gap between understanding AI and actually implementing it in client work."
— Maxine Brock | CEO, MGI Worldwide
"The profession doesn't need more talk about AI - it needs more accountants who can actually use it. We help firms build genuine capability: using AI to work faster, building their own workflows, making smart build-versus-buy calls on technology, and preparing for transformation at the firm level."
— Varun Jain | CEO, Miles Masterclass
Through the partnership, MGI members receive:
- Unlimited access to practical AI learning designed for accounting professionals
- Hands-on AI Labs where you can experiment with workflows and agents
- Function-specific applications across audit, tax, advisory, and finance
- The Certified AI-Ready Accountant (CAIRA) credential pathway
- Access to a growing AI community across MGI
This partnership reflects MGI Worldwide’s continued investment in practical learning, shared knowledge and the future capability of its member firms. As the collaboration with Miles Masterclass develops, MGI looks forward to supporting members with more opportunities to build confidence, share experience and apply AI in ways that are relevant to our member firms and clients.
