MGI members connect to support client growth across borders
As clients expand into new markets, they need trusted support on the ground. One of the strengths of MGI Worldwide is the ability to connect firms across borders quickly and effectively to support client needs.
In a recent collaboration between MGI Integral in Egypt, and MGI Bass Gordon in South Africa, our member firms put these connections into action.
A client growing across Africa
When a leading African digital platform focused on last-mile health access and AI-powered data analytics expanded into South Africa, it needed audit and advisory support locally. As the client’s advisor in Egypt, MGI Integral turned to the MGI network to find the right firm to support the next stage of its journey. Through that connection, MGI Bass Gordon in Cape Town was introduced, and the two firms quickly began working together.
Working together to support the client
The collaboration moved forward smoothly, with both firms working closely from the outset.
Key steps included:
- early engagement between both firms
- collaborative discussions to align on the client’s needs
- joint meetings to build confidence and clarity
- a tailored approach to the proposed work
- flexible pricing that helped secure agreement on a full IFRS audit engagement
The result was a smooth transition fromreferral to delivery, and a clear example of how MGI firms can work together to support clients
in a practical and responsive way.
"We want to express our appreciation to MGI Bass Gordon for their support of our client. Their acceptance of the proposal is proof of the trust they place in the MGI network."
— Dr. Farid Lawandy | Managing Partner, MGI Integral
Trusted relationships, real results
This story reflects more than technical expertise. It also highlights the trust, responsiveness and shared commitment that make collaboration across MGI Worldwide possible.
Looking ahead
Following this successful engagement, Audrey Danasamy, Regional Director for Africa, is now exploring with MGI Integral how the client could also be supported by other MGI member firms. It's a strong example of how connections across the network can support clients more effectively while also creating opportunities for member firms.
"Through close collaboration with MGI Integral, we were able to align quickly and provide a solution tailored to their needs, reinforcing the value of having trusted partners across the MGI network."
— Abraham Petersen | Managing Partner, MGI Bass Gordon
