We are a social consultancy firm whose only priority is to help those who want to do good, better.
Guided by a strict ethical code and a willingness to challenge conventional thinking, we work a bit differently to what many expect.
We help purpose-led companies use their business as a force for good, supporting the SDGs, the planet, and its people. Our services enable businesses to do well, do good – and do both better.
We partner with leading non-profit and public organisations to deliver greater impact in the developing world by securing more funding, driving faster innovation, developing smarter strategies and building efficient, agile organisations.
We often combine our work with NGOs or other non-profit organisations to that of our private sector clients, maximising impact.
We work in boardrooms, factories, country offices and refugee camps – helping leaders and their teams build a fairer, sustainable and better world. It all started in 2011, and we are now delivering impact across 50+ countries. Since 2018, we operate 100% carbon negative. Our digital infrastructure allows us to hire the best, most diversified talent, regardless of where they are located.
MzN International values open and honest communication. We welcome feedback – both good and bad – as it helps us continuously refine and improve our services.

We support NGOs with strategic funding advice, business development strategies and proposal writing support. Our Funding and Proposal Support identifies funding opportunities, helps to write more and better proposals and scales funding pipelines.

For businesses and corporates
Sustainability transformation
We help businesses understand their ESG and SDG impact. We then help them develop strategies and capacity to continuously improve them.
Sustainability reporting
We help create trust-inspiring and action-based ESG reports, including impact reports for all stakeholders.
ESG and compliance management
We help build compliance management systems with a human rights-based approach and a focus sustainability, controlling all climate related risks in one place.
Workshops, training and events
We run training courses, workshops, knowledge exchange events and Strategy Sprints to help both NGO and corporate leaders discuss and plan successful transformations.
Our training offers range from large-scale Strategy Development Sprints which tackle issues such as decarbonisation, to personal support in which we help NGOs to streamline processes or diversify their income. Most of our workshops are free or subsidised.

Feedback on our work
“MzN provided us with training and subsequent capacity building and it made a huge difference to us. We are very pleased with the support we got and will certainly use them again.”
“Our experience with MzN has been very positive. The team has been professional, highly attentive and demonstrated a strong understanding of our needs… We contacted MzN in need of interim financial management personnel and permanent staff. We chose to go with MzN because the quality and promptness of service was far and above the others.”
“They are very professional finance and operational experts but their passion for development and effective/efficient humanitarian aid really showed through. Not what you would expect from a bunch of chartered accountants…”
“MzN has only been working on difficult assignments. I’ve enjoyed a trust relationship which has facilitated the process and an openness to listen to requirements. MzN has posed relevant challenging questions and given feedback on the market which is useful to benchmark against.”
“You clearly understand NGOs, their internal workings and the challenges NGOs and the sector is facing in general. MzN very quickly grasped the issues that our organisation was facing and built a rapport with the team that gave confidence in your ability to accurately represent the issues, collectively and individually, which ensured the success of the project.”
