How We Help You

Person reaching for stars and moon

Our Software

We were part of the Creative HQ startup accelerator programme, which has also included successful NZ companies like Hnry and Sharesies.

We build our own Xero-connected software tools for schools, millions of dollars of innovation solving the sector’s toughest finance challenges.

Our team uses these tools exclusively, finishing work 93% faster and with higher quality than traditional accountants, letting us focus on being your strategic partner.

Professional business team

Our People

What makes us unique is the blend of skills within our team: chartered accountants, software engineers, and education specialists with global experience. This combination means you gain a strategic partner.

Unlike other accountants, schools and ECEs office staff always have someone they can turn to for payroll or software questions, no more delays, wrong answers, or hunting online for help.

Unlike other accountants, we don’t outsource any accounting work abroad.

How You Benefit

  1. Office staff save 5-10 hours every week – we’ve automated most of the manual tasks you do.
  2. Your questions answered, fast – most accounting firms are tied up with manual work, leaving schools feeling on their own. We respond immediately.
  3. Up to 80% lower costs– schools pay significantly less than with traditional accounting firms.
  4. Hassle-free audits – auditors deal 100% with us, never your schools. No more site visits, no more endless questions.

Why We're Different

Discover how our approach to accounting saves schools time, reduces costs,
and delivers more value than traditional accountants.

How We Work With You

Team meeting during onboarding process

Onboarding

We get that most leaders at schools and ECEs aren't accountants, and that's totally fine. Your job is to lead and teach, not get bogged down in spreadsheets.

We start by understanding the goals of school and ECE. If you’re not already on Xero, we’ll migrate your data over, usually within a day, no stress.

Professional working on daily accounting tasks

Day-To-Day Accounting Support

Our accountants provide fast, practical guidance on everything from payroll and Board of Trustees queries to insurance, supplier recommendations, IT tools (Google, AI software, Kindo, Hero), recruitment, and everyday admin processes, so your office runs smoothly without the stress.

Our automated tools give schools and ECEs staff back 5–10 hours each week. Snap receipts and they automatically upload into Xero, approve digitally with no paper sign-offs, and let us handle 100% of Xero reconciliations, so you can focus on what really matters.

Financial reports and charts on desk

Monthly Management Reports

Each month, we deliver clear, well-designed financial and non-financial reports - tailored to suit all board members, no matter their background or level of financial expertise.

Hand analyzing financial charts and data

Annual Financial Statements & Audit

We manage the full process: preparing financial statements and liaising with auditors, so you can focus on running your schools without interruption.

Let's Take Your Financial Stress Away

Tell us a little about your School or ECE and we'll connect you with a tailored mix of expert support and smart software — no stress, no obligation.
