If you’ve ever been a volunteer treasurer, you’ll know how it goes. You put your hand up to help your local club, society, or charity — and suddenly you’re dealing with bank statements, spreadsheets, and year-end reports. It can be stressful, confusing, and more than a little time-consuming.
Most people in these roles didn’t sign up to be accountants. They just want their organisation to survive and thrive. That’s exactly why I created Good Numbers — a beautifully simple financial tool built right here in Aotearoa New Zealand, designed to take the stress out of managing money for small non-profits.
The Problem: Too Much Admin, Not Enough Time
Across the motu, small charities and community groups are run by volunteers doing their best with limited time and resources. Every year, thousands of groups struggle to keep up with financial reporting and compliance. It’s not because they don’t care — it’s because the systems aren’t made for them.
I’ve spent over 15 years working and volunteering in community organisations. More than once, I’ve been the treasurer who reluctantly stepped up, wishing there was an easier way to handle the basics.
The Solution: Simple, Local, and Built for You
Good Numbers keeps things clear, smart, and straightforward. The interface just works — no jargon, no clutter. It helps volunteer treasurers prepare accurate year-end statements in minutes, not days.
Because it’s designed, built, and run in New Zealand, your data stays close to home whenever possible. Pricing is transparent, upfront, and built around fairness — no hidden fees, no surprises.
Our focus is on one thing: giving small non-profits less stress and more time to do what really matters — serving their communities.
A Kiwi-Made Tool for Good
Good Numbers grew from a simple question I couldn’t shake: Surely there’s a better way to handle the basics, like preparing financial statements?
Thanks to the support, advice, and encouragement of others in the sector, that question turned into a reality — and now, Good Numbers is helping community groups across Aotearoa feel more confident about their finances.
