Moore Stephens Business Solutions operates as part of Moore Global, a global association of independent professional services firms delivering audit, tax, advisory, outsourcing, legal, and sustainability services to mid-market and enterprise clients. The network spans Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, and North America, with 54,000+ professionals across member firms, and operates on a federated model where local firms maintain direct client relationships while accessing cross-border capabilities and shared methodologies. Core service lines include audit and assurance, international corporate tax (including Pillar Two compliance and transfer pricing), corporate finance, risk advisory, cyber and data security, IT consultancy, forensic and litigation support, and outsourced functions such as corporate secretarial, international payroll, and global compliance reporting. The firm serves clients across 15+ verticals including financial services, manufacturing, oil and gas, real estate and construction, mining, technology, and private clients and family offices.

The entity specifically referred to as Moore Stephens LLC and Moore Stephens Consulting LLC (collectively MS UAE), established in 1999 in Dubai, was acquired by UK-based MHA (MacIntyre Hudson Associates) in April 2026 for Dh36 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis. MS UAE offered audit, tax, and advisory services across financial services, manufacturing, construction, real estate, logistics, oil and gas, and trading sectors from offices in Dubai (headquarters), Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. Following the acquisition, MS UAE operates under MHA's international growth strategy.

Moore Global's go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct enterprise and mid-market engagement through member firms, supported by thought leadership via the Moore Intelligence publication, sector-specific content, event participation, and talent programs such as the Harvard Leadership Programme. Revenue derives from professional services fees across audit, tax, advisory, managed outsourcing, legal, and sustainability engagements, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Pricing is structured per engagement based on scope, complexity, and client requirements. The firm does not operate proprietary technology platforms; its competitive position rests on professional expertise, brand affiliation, multi-jurisdictional coverage, and sector specialism.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• BDO Global: BDO is the largest direct competitor in the mid-market accounting and advisory network space, with a similarly federated member-firm model spanning 100+ countries and offering comparable audit, tax, and advisory services to mid-market clients. It is the closest analogue to Moore Global in scale and go-to-market approach.
• RSM International: RSM is a top-tier mid-market accounting network with comparable federated structure, audit, tax, and consulting offerings targeting mid-market companies globally. It competes directly with Moore for the same client segment and cross-border mandates.
• Grant Thornton International: Grant Thornton operates a global network of independent member firms delivering audit, tax, and advisory services to mid-market and growth-stage companies — directly comparable to Moore in scope, scale, and target client profile.
• Baker Tilly International: Baker Tilly is a leading mid-market accounting and advisory network with a federated model similar to Moore, offering audit, tax, and consulting services across multiple jurisdictions and competing for the same mid-market engagements.
• Crowe Global: Crowe Global is an accounting and advisory network with comparable mid-market focus and federated member-firm structure, offering audit, tax, and advisory services that overlap directly with Moore's core practice areas.

Broad incumbents

• MHA (MacIntyre Hudson): MHA is the UK-based professional services group that acquired Moore's UAE operations in April 2026. As the current parent entity of MS UAE, MHA is directly relevant both as an acquirer and as a broader UK and European mid-market accounting platform.
• KPMG: KPMG is one of the Big 4 incumbents that competes with Moore's network for mid-market engagements while dominating large-cap audit and advisory mandates. It represents the upper-bound competitive threat in the broader professional services space.
• Deloitte: Deloitte is a Big 4 firm with overlapping audit, tax, advisory, consulting, and risk services. While its primary focus is large-cap, its mid-market practice increasingly competes with tier-2 networks like Moore for cross-border engagements.

Emerging players

• HLB International: HLB is a smaller mid-market accounting network with a similar federated model and international reach, competing with Moore for mid-tier cross-border mandates, particularly in emerging markets where both networks have growing footprints.
• PKF International: PKF is a global network of independent accounting and business advisory firms with comparable mid-market positioning. It competes with Moore for similar audit, tax, and advisory engagements across multiple regions.
