Our history

80 years of trust, connection and shared success.

Since 1947, MGI has been connecting firms and people across borders building a global community rooted in trusted relationships. Our history is defined by collaboration, loyalty, and a shared belief that when we work together, we achieve more.
 

A community built to last

From the beginning, MGI has been shaped by independently minded firms who value long-term relationships. Many of our professional connections span decades and we’re proud that some firms have worked together through MGI for more than 50 years. Our founding firm is still very much a part of who we are today.

That continuity matters. It’s part of what makes MGI feel different. We’re more than a global accounting work: we’re a community of trusted professionals with a great history.

How we were formed

MGI began in the UK, with early growth across Africa and the US, and has expanded steadily over the decades into a global community spanning 100 countries.

While our structure and reach have evolved, one thing has remained constant: we are built on independence and collaboration. Our firms stay proudly independently minded, while working together to share knowledge, strengthen capability, and deliver trusted support.

Looking ahead

We’re proud of our history and we’re just as focused on what comes next.

The world is changing fast, and we continue to strengthen our community, invest in quality, and build new ways to give firms and clients the power to grow with confidence.
