Our involvement in MGI Worldwide will take members of the Alexander Knight & Co team to two very different destinations during the coming months – Auckland and Brighton.
As a member of the international accounting network, we regularly attend MGI events to exchange ideas, build relationships with fellow firms and keep up to date with developments affecting businesses around the world.
First up is the MGI Worldwide Global AGM in Auckland, New Zealand, taking place from 21–24 October 2026.
The event will bring together professionals from across MGI’s international network under the theme of Growth, Leadership and Change.
Sessions will explore some of the challenges and opportunities facing accountancy firms and their clients, while providing an opportunity to develop relationships with advisers operating in different international markets.
Then, closer to home, the MGI UK & Ireland Partners, Directors & Managers Conference will take place at The Grand in Brighton from 25–27 November.
The theme for this year’s conference is Trust – an especially relevant subject for the accountancy profession and the businesses we support.
These events build on a busy year of international activity for Alexander Knight & Co.
Earlier in 2026, members of our team took part in MGI events covering areas including leadership, audit, tax, client communication and the future of the profession.
Our membership of MGI Worldwide gives Alexander Knight & Co access to trusted professional contacts in almost 100 countries.
That means when one of our clients is expanding overseas, or an international business needs support establishing itself in the UK, we can connect them with people we know within the network.
Murray Patt, founder of Alexander Knight & Co, said:
“Being part of MGI Worldwide gives an independent practice like ours genuine international reach.
“The conferences are valuable because they allow us to build relationships personally rather than simply looking up an accountant in another country when we need one.
“We also bring plenty of ideas and insight back to Hale. The profession and the needs of our clients are changing quickly, so maintaining those international connections is extremely valuable.”
We look forward to sharing more from Auckland and Brighton later this year.

Alexander Knight & Co is a member of MGI Worldwide, a Top 20 international accounting network of independent audit, accounting, tax, legal, and consulting firms, which brings together the expertise of over 8,000 professionals in some 400 locations around the world.
Our membership enables us to keep abreast of important new developments, while providing a seamless international service to any of our clients looking for support abroad.
Joining the network has undoubtedly bolstered our international trade links and has enabled us to collaborate with accountancy firms in other jurisdictions.
Multiple companies headquartered in Canada, Sweden, USA, Germany, Holland, Greece, Denmark, Switzerland, Malaysia and Singapore have appointed our team to support them with a number of specialist services that we provide including Audit, Tax and Advisory.
Our UK-based practice has even picked up an award for our work relating to the clients of MGI Worldwide members. At the 2023 MGI UK & Ireland conference for partners & managers, which was held recently in Edinburgh, Scotland our team collected the award for ‘International Client Experience of the Year 2023’.
We were very pleased to have developed our international links and delighted to have won this award. It’s great recognition for our staff who are providing a fantastic service for our clients headquartered in the UK and abroad.
Case study
A good example of international collaboration is our positive relationship with fellow MGI Worldwide member Revideco AB based in Sweden.
Its team reached out to us to assist one of their clients who needed some UK specific advice relating to a subsidiary in England. The Revideco team has offices in Stockholm, Skellefteå, Sundsvall and Göteborg. Revideco are authorised accountants and auditors and have provided accounting, audit and consultancy services in Sweden since 1994.
As a result of the introduction by partners at Revideco we were able to assist a Cheshire-based company which manufactures and retails all-natural supplements for dogs, in its annual Audit requirements. We were delighted to have been appointed by the client to undertake this activity and we are pleased that the relationship has developed positively.
“We are pleased with the relationship we have created with Alexander Knight & Co in the United Kingdom and it is pleasing to see that through our membership of MGI Worldwide we are able to identify high quality collaboration partners who can assist our clients with UK accountancy requirements.”
Antti Niemi
Partner, Revideco AB
“We are delighted to have been referred by our MGI Worldwide colleagues in Sweden. It’s a really good example of how likeminded accountants from different jurisdictions can operate effectively and develop strong and trusted relationships through the association. We would like to thank the Revideco team. We are looking forward to developing our professional relationship even more in 2024 and beyond.”
