When we first approached Megan and the MGI+MORE team, Rum and Que were experiencing significant growth, and we needed guidance not only with the accounts but with Forecasting and Management. I was blown away at the prompt service we received from the team, who seemed to “just get the job done”. As someone with very limited time, I really appreciate this!
Megan familiarised herself with our business and has always shown a genuine interest in what we do. For me, this is key to a successful working relationship. Megan also pointed us toward Regional Business Partners, who, along with MGI+MORE, have assisted us tremendously with year-on-year forecasting and provided key tools to continue growing our small family-run business.
Our relationship with Megan and Hansa and their understanding of our business makes our partnership with MGI+MORE invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend MGI+MORE to anyone seeking Advisory or Accounting Services.
As an SME experiencing solid growth over the past five years, our business was restricted by headcount and resources. This growth created a surge in transaction volume, which was sometimes quite overwhelming financially and operationally.
MGI+MORE proactively introduced solutions that improved our processes and automated functions where possible, increasing efficiency, accuracy, and capacity within our team.
What we value most about our partnership with MGI+MORE is their genuine commitment to understanding our needs, building strong relationships with our people, and framing solutions in an easily understandable way.
With their support, we have achieved clear and accurate monthly and quarterly management reports that our board and team trust.
Having experienced Big 4 accounting firms and smaller practices, MGI+MORE strikes the perfect balance. They are tax experts who always provide solid, reliable, and clear solutions.
I have recommended MGI+MORE to my friends in business, and they are very happy with the recommendation.
We look forward to continuing our partnership with the entire team at MGI+MORE for many years to come.
MGI+MORE has played an important role in supporting the transition and growth at Channel Ten over the last year with their outsourced finance function service. Their team have been a pleasure to work with, going out of their way to ensure the work is done right first time, and always willing to help out and support the business as needed.
When we started working with MGI+MORE, our primary goal was to find an advisor who could guide us through purchasing the business we had recently bought. We were also looking for a long-term business advisory partner who shared our belief in the importance of personal relationships and simplified advice.
MGI+MORE ticked all of our boxes; we’d had the opportunity to meet Dan almost a year before we got the chance to work with him and immediately recognised his and Megan’s approach as an excellent match for us, both from a relationship and technical perspective. Over time, our partnership with the team has been deepened significantly and proven successful across multiple businesses.
The value we find in working with MGI+MORE lies in the quality of their advice, reporting, and relationships. These factors have become critical to the successful running of our business.
MGI+MORE stands out for its clarity of thought and advice, quality of communication, and the sincerity of the relationships they foster.
We would recommend MGI+MORE to others. In fact, we have already recommended them multiple times and will continue to do so.
We feel strongly that every SME owner should have the benefit of working with an advisor of MGI+MORE’s caliber. Their guidance has been invaluable in enhancing our understanding of our businesses and ultimately contributing to their success.
We’ve worked with Nick Francis from MGI+MORE for over 25 years. During that time, we’ve sought advice on all sorts of matters including growth strategies, partnership and ownership changes, tax audits, and dealing with international trade and banking.
The role MGI+MORE plays is more than just an accountancy firm who do the numbers — they take an active interest in our business and what we do.
The screen sector is an extremely challenging environment to run a service supply company.
MGI+MORE provide us invaluable advice around tax, budgeting, costing and infrastructure investment that has seen our business grow and develop over the past 20 years. Jill and the team have helped us invest during the good times to provide a buffer during more difficult periods when work was uneven.
