MSI Global Alliance: A Real Alternative for Entrepreneurial Businesses

For over 20 years, MSI Global Alliance (MSI) has been connecting independent, medium sized accounting and law firms all over the world, and has grown to become one of the world's largest and most established international associations of professional firms.

Highly rated by our peers

Our growing reputation is confirmed by our shortlisting by The Lawyer magazine for the European Law Firm Network of the Year award at the magazine's 2011 European Awards and our long-standing membership of the European Group of International Accounting Networks & Associations (EGIAN).

A true global, multidisciplinary presence

MSI's global membership now extends to:

* 250 carefully selected, full service member firms

* 105 countries

* 300 business centres

* 8,000 practising lawyers and accountants

* Combined annual firm revenues of US$1.3 billion.

Our aggregated figures show that MSI has superior resources and a larger footprint than some of the global professional firms. If yours is a growing, cross-border focused and growth-oriented entrepreneurial business, find out more below why our member firms may also be provide a better fit for your organisation.

What makes MSI member firms different?

MSI member firms are able to work cooperatively to serve clients with cross border or international operations, wherever in the world they need assistance.

Through MSI, smaller professional firms have access to the resources that allow them to compete in the global marketplace without sacrificing the unique qualities that distinguish them from their larger competitors. These advantages include the ability to provide:

A more personal approach

More responsive services, and

More reasonable charge-out rates. 

View our page 'Criteria' for more information on the rigorous membership standards that apply to all of our member firms.

What's it like to be a client of a MSI member firm?

As a client of a MSI member firm, you will benefit from extended geographic reach and access to specialised and niche expertise provided by similar sized, like-minded firms that adhere to our Code of Conduct. Your local engagement partner will act as the gateway to global resources that you can tap into as and when they are needed. 

Does it really make sense to pay high charge-out rates to those larger professional firms that have their own network of offices whose resources you are however unlikely to require on a regular basis? Better options are available to companies that are prepared to think outside the box and to be more discerning in their choice of professional advisorsy services.

And it does not come down to "taking a risk" on a firm that may be unknown to you - our brand values emphasise high levels of service and technical competence across a wide spectrum of commercial advisory services. Our detailed selection and recruitment process ensures that this remains the case.

As a result, you can reach out for assistance from highly rated professional firms almost anywhere in the world. It also means that MSI can offer you a real alternative to the larger firms.
