MGI+MORE in Auckland, New Zealand, recognised globally for AI innovation

MGI Worldwide is proud to announce that MGI+MORE in Auckland, New Zealand, has been named a finalist in the 2025 Karbon Excellence Awards, in the AI Innovation category!
Even more exciting, is that MGI+More is the only firm from New Zealand to be recognised across all award categories - a massive achievement for its team and a testament to its work to lead smarter, better business through tech.
As AI continues to transform the accounting landscape, Karbon created this new award category in its annual excellence awards to celebrate firms using AI to boost efficiency, enhance client experiences, and help lead the profession into the future. Being named a finalist is a powerful nod to the journey the firm is on, a journey grounded in combining technology with human insight to create real, lasting impact.

Dan Henderson, CEO & Managing Director of MGI+MORE Group, and recently elected Chair of MGI Austrlasia, comments:
"I'm incredibly proud of the MGI+MORE team! To be recognised on the global stage as a finalist in the 2025 Karbon Excellence Awards for AI Innovation, and the only New Zealand firm to make the list across all categories, is a huge moment for us.
"This isn’t just about technology. It’s about how we use it with purpose to give our people more time, better tools, and deeper insights so they can deliver smarter, better outcomes for our clients."
MGI+MORE is not simply adopting AI—it's embedding it across the business in practical, meaningful ways. From launching its own RPA bot to experimenting with tools like Syft, Aider, and Co-Pilot, the team has been steadily building an AI ecosystem that supports their people, streamlines operations, and enables deeper, more strategic work with clients.
AI is also helping MGI+MORE unlock greater value from data. Whether through enhanced reporting dashboards, structured client insights, or more efficient communication tools, these improvements are having a tangible day-to-day impact for both the team and their clients.
Dan concludes:
"Being recognised globally is incredibly rewarding. It confirms that the work we’re doing here in New Zealand is not only forward-thinking, but also world-class.
A huge thanks to the team that’s brought this to life. And thank you to Karbon for creating space to celebrate what innovation in accounting looks like today (and tomorrow). We’re just getting started."
