What AGN International does

AGN International Ltd is a not-for-profit worldwide membership association of independent accounting and advisory firms, registered as a company limited by guarantee in England & Wales (company number 3132548) and headquartered at 3 More London Riverside, London. Founded in 1996, AGN operates through regional affiliates (AGN Americas, AGN Europe/Middle East/Africa, AGN Asia Pacific) and reports a global footprint spanning 677 offices, 16,000 professionals, and approximately US$2.2 billion in combined member-firm revenue across 100+ countries. The association exists to help independent, mid-market accounting and advisory firms serve clients with cross-border needs while preserving their autonomy, and it is governed by its member firms rather than external shareholders.

The core platform is the My AGN member dashboard, complemented by the AGN Technical Resource Centre (TRC), problem-solving communities, and a member value agenda organized around Global Talent Solutions, Service Evolution and ESG, and Technology and Digital Transformation. Proprietary content assets include the AGN Global Business Voice publication, the quarterly AGN Taxpresso publication, regional tax cards (Asia Pacific, Central/South America), transfer pricing guides, and the AGN Value Suite of member-driven tools. Professional development is delivered through the multi-level ADVANCE staff training program (partnered with The Rainmaker Companies), NextGen conferences, and CPE-eligible webinars on topics such as cryptocurrency taxation. Member-benefit infrastructure also includes Global Talent Solutions, Outsourcing support, and a Doing Business In series. AGN is a registered NASBA CPE sponsor and Texas State Board of Public Accountancy sponsor, enabling it to issue accredited continuing professional education.

The business model is subscription-based: member firms pay annual membership dues (not publicly disclosed, quote-based) for access to the global network, technical resources, training, events, and cross-border referral infrastructure. Membership is an annual commitment with a 6-month termination notice and non-refundable fees. Go-to-market combines regional director-led field outreach, regional meetings and conferences (e.g., AGN Americas Regional Meeting, AGN-UK NextGen Conference, AGN & Nexia World Congress), LinkedIn and email marketing, member referrals, and the agn.org website. AGN also maintains a collaborative alliance with Nexia, another global accounting network, for joint international development, and operates sub-brands AGN Americas, AGN EMEA, and AGN Asia Pacific.
