MPA has acquired EFM Financial Management Limited and Outsource-FD Limited both trading as EFM. This will enable MPA to expand their professional services, offering even more value to clients and SME businesses.

EFM was established in 2000 as a cost-effective, outsourcing solution for entrepreneurial businesses that did not have the in-house capability or access to a high level of financial expertise. In 2010, EFM launched a major expansion initiative and successfully licenced the brand and business model, creating a network of highly skilled financial professionals. Both companies are located throughout the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

‘We are delighted to be joining MPA and contributing to their vision and plans to expand their professional services group. Whilst the services and structure of the EFM associate network in UK and Ireland remains unchanged, the acquisition will provide our clients, referrers and associates with an enhanced financial management service offering without compromising standards and quality. Both EFM and MPA share similar cultures and values which will be hugely beneficial to our clients, colleagues, and wider stakeholders.’ Says Gary Jesson, Managing Director at EFM.

In our 5-year strategy, we aim to expand our services and to significantly increase the value we provide to our clients. This is at the core of MPA’s vision ‘to see a thriving UK economy fuelled by research and innovation.’

There have been multiple shocks to the UK’s economy and society as a result of global events. Consequently, Business Leaders are having to navigate their organisations through increasing uncertainty and complexity in order to survive and thrive.

Defining and implementing strategies which deliver stability and growth in challenging times is easier with the support, clarity and certainty offered by MPA and EFM.

‘I am delighted to add the EFM companies to our group here at MPA. EFM and MPA complement each other perfectly, giving a more comprehensive package of services for SMEs from start-up through scale-up and on to eventual exit.’ Says Mike Price, Director at MPA.
