MELBOURNE, Australia, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascentium, a leading global business services platform headquartered in Singapore, today announced that MGI Dobbyn Carafa ("MGIDC"), a Melbourne-based multidisciplinary accounting and advisory firm, is joining the Group as part of Ascentium Australia.

The addition of MGIDC complements the capabilities of InCorp Australia, An Ascentium Company ("InCorp Australia"), and Oxygen Private Client, An Ascentium Company ("Oxygen Private Client"), advancing Ascentium's platform in Australia and expanding its ability to deliver integrated advisory, corporate and private client services.

MGIDC clients will continue working with the advisers and teams they know, now backed by a broader network of specialist expertise.
