MSI Global Alliance, a leading international association of independent legal and accounting firms, has appointed accounting firm WORTMANN & PARTNER in Germany to its membership.
Based in Rheda-Wiedenbrück in North Rhine-Westphalia, Wortmann & Partner provides a full range of auditing and taxation services as well as accounting and consulting services. The firm, which has recently been named one of Germany’s Top 50 tax consulting firms by Focus Money, joins MSI with five partners and 45 staff.
Established in 1957, Wortmann & Partner has a diverse client base including industrial engineering and manufacturing businesses as well as service providers. The firm’s clients are mostly mid-sized and operate in national and international markets.
MSI’s chief executive, Tim Wilson, commented, “I am very pleased that Wortmann & Partner have joined MSI. They are a very well-established, highly respected firm in the economically strong area of Westphalia. Their joining further strengthens our presence in Germany and I know they will contribute a great deal to MSI internationally.”
Volker Ervens, partner at Wortmann & Partner, said, “We are very excited about joining MSI. The code of conduct, which all members have to follow and respect, and the strong position of MSI in the worldwide market have been very convincing to us. We look forward to getting to know many members at future conferences and through joint efforts to fulfil our clients’ needs.”
The appointment of Wortmann & Partner adds further strength to MSI’s growing presence in Germany and follows only a few months after the recent merger of MSI’s German founding member Abels Decker Kuhfuss & Partner (now ADKL) with ex-Moore Stephens firm Dr. Müller, Haeb & Partner.
