AGN International and Nexia, a network of accounting, tax, and consulting firms, have launched a new collaborative alliance.
The news comes after the two groups officially entered a strategic collaborative alliance yesterday (13 March) with the overriding objective of enhancing each of their offerings to their respective memberships.
This new alliance aims to “better empower businesses to achieve their international ambitions and local business objectives” through a vast resource of professionals across Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and North America.
Malcom Ward, global CEO of AGN, said: “Our agreement represents a positive strategic move within a market that is changing rapidly. Through close collaboration, we can identify operational synergies while investing to develop new content and capabilities to address industry challenges.
“Of course, AGN members value their existing organisational and operational autonomy, which remains unchanged. But we will now be able to offer a range of further possibilities and choices to the market in a fast-developing industry.”
Tim Wilson, CEO of Nexia, added: “It goes without saying that we expect this new structure to increase referral activity between members and thus positively and meaningfully impact our members’ revenues. I am also excited to see the benefits of communication and collaboration between our two great memberships.
“We will actively encourage our business groups, committees, and boards to work together to identify best practices for professional services – including people development and training, business development, and know-how.”
AGN and Nexia together comprise over 400 member firms worldwide. Whilst the alliance between AGN and Nexia exists for the mutual benefit of the respective memberships, members’ clients will also see advantages from the collaboration.
