Melbourne accounting firm MPR joins
MGI
Melbourne based accounting firm, the MPR Group, will join global accounting firm
MGI this week, filling an important gap in the Melbourne market.
MGI is one of the largest alliances of independent audit, tax, accounting and
consulting firms in the world with 850 partners and 6,000 professionals globally.
In Australia, MGI is ranked 28th in BRW’s top 100 accounting firms with offices in
Adelaide, Brisbane, Auckland, Cairns, Gold Coast, North Queensland, Perth, Port Pirie
and Sydney. The addition of MPR will benefit clients with offices in Melbourne who are
looking for a local accounting and business services partner.
MGI Australasia Chairman Grant Field said he was thrilled to have MPR join the MGI
fold.
"MPR is an outstanding firm and brings complimentary as well as additional practice
skills to the group," Mr Field said.
“MPR is much like many of our clients aspirational, innovative and growth orientated.”
“MPR as a firm also have something unique to bring to the table with their extensive
focus on technology, biotech and innovation. We can leverage and build off that
growth together”, he said.
MPR Founding Partner Marc Peskett said he and his partners were looking forward to
the next step in the company's progression.
“Joining a group ranked the 8th fastest growing in Asia with regards to size is both a
privilege and an opportunity,” Mr Peskett said.
"We see this as a great way to service our existing clients, particularly those with
global aspirations, and to lift our own firm’s profile and reach in the process,” he said.
MPR Managing Partner Matt Murphy described the move as a natural fit.
“This is a strategic move for us. We serve businesses ranging from small to medium, to
the family business arena to large publicly listed entities. MGI brings a lot to the table
for all of those clients,” Mr Murphy said.
MGI is currently in discussion with a number of potential member firms in major
provincial cities, as it plans to expand and double in size over the next two years.
