We get it.

Many volunteer treasurers didn’t apply for the job.

You inherited the role at the AGM. You were “voluntold.” You're the most organised person in the room.

Now you’re doing your best. Trying to keep things tidy. Trying not to let anyone down. Trying to make sense of accounting language that wasn’t designed for community groups.

Good Numbers is built for you.

What is the Good Numbers App?

The Good Numbers app is software built specifically for small non-profits in Aotearoa.

Not business accounting software adapted for non-profits.
Not an inherited spreadsheet requiring many steps.

It comes ready to go — aligned with XRB reporting requirements from day one. No complex setup. No guesswork.

And unlike other accounting platforms, it’s designed from the ground up to work on mobile. Review transactions on the couch. Upload receipts at the café. Check funding balances before a meeting.

Because community work doesn’t always happen at a desk.

We know that small non-profits need to:

Track grants clearly and report to funders easily.
Update your committee or board confidently.
Stay compliant with the Charities Register and XRB.
Manage numbers between everything else you're managing.

Good Numbers is built for these realities.

Funding View

Always Know How Much Grant Funding Is Left

Funding View changes how small non-profits track grants.

When funding comes in, create a Funding View.
As you spend, tag payments to it. Upload receipts on the spot — even from your phone.

Your dashboard shows:

  • What’s been spent

  • What it was spent on

  • How much remains

When it’s time to report back, generate a clear funding report in minutes.

No spreadsheets. No scrambling.

I felt confident I’d done it right.

What charities say about the Good Numbers App >

Make year-end easy

Our year-end process is so good we reckon it'll take you less than one hour. The Good Numbers App guides you step-by-step through completing your annual financial statements — without the stress, confusing templates or accounting jargon.

A guided process, not guesswork

Transactions are compliant from the first click, so when year-end arrives there’s no scrambling and making things fit the template. Follow our simple checklist covering:

  • Statement of Service Performance
  • Office holders
  • Assets and liabilities
  • Funders and grants
  • Related party transactions

Save and return anytime! No need to do it all in one go.

Plain language with smart suggestions

Good Numbers uses the information we already have to make helpful suggestions and reduce your work. Enter extra information in plain language, not Excel formulas. The App prepares XRB compliant Tier 4 financial statements for you.

Clear Oversight for Committees and Boards

Financial reporting that makes sense.

Dashboard

Log in and instantly see:

  • What needs attention

  • What’s uncategorised

  • Bank balances

  • Funding remaining

Whether you’re at home, at work, or walking into a meeting.

Money Overview Report

In a few clicks, generate a report suitable for your committee, board, or manager. Click to see a sample Money Overview report.

It brings together:

  • Bank balances

  • Funding positions

  • Money in and out summary

  • Visibility of significant transactions

It’s financial reporting designed with volunteers in mind.

Who It’s For (And Who It’s Not)

Good Numbers isn’t for everyone.

That’s intentional.

Good Numbers is for you if:

  • You’re a small charity, incorporated society, trust, club or community group in Aotearoa

  • You report under Tier 4 XRB standards (Tier 3 coming soon!)

  • Your treasurer is a volunteer (or wears five other hats)

  • You want funding tracking built in

  • You want year-end to feel calm and predictable

  • You’d prefer software that makes sense without needing an accounting degree

  • You want something that works good on mobile

Good Numbers is probably not for you if:

  • You have a finance team who enjoy debating depreciation policies

  • You have multi-million dollar investment properties

  • You genuinely love maintaining elaborate spreadsheets

  • You want to customise 400 different reporting settings

  • You’re a tradie, banker, or multinational exporter

There are excellent platforms built for that world. But they're not Good (Numbers...)

Priced with nonprofits in mind

Our simple pricing is based on how much your organisation spends each year.
Pricing is reviewed each year-end, and the new price applies from next invoice. Your fee can go up as well as down.
But we'll never quibble about being just a few dollars over!

A 2-month free trial is available to new users.

Annual Expenditure up to:

$10,000

Common questions about the Good Numbers App

Yes! We use Akahu to fetch your bank account and transaction information daily, so your records stay up to date without any manual data entry. 
Learn more about how we connect to your bank →
Payroll isn't something the Good Numbers app offers, and it's not something we plan to add. For payroll, we'd recommend checking out Thank You Payroll — they do a great job for organisations like yours. The Good Numbers app will recognise incoming payroll transactions and suggest they're categorised to employee remuneration, so your accounts stay tidy.
Learn more about Thank You Payroll →
Yes. We have a tool to import bank transaction history from Xero, including notes and files you've attached. However, it isn't compatable with the Expenses and Bill Payment features of Xero. When we onboard you, we'll have a conversation about what's practical to bring across and how the process works.
Yes — the Good Numbers app produces financial statements that are compliant with the XRB not-for-profit standards by default. No extra steps needed.
Yes, companies are welcome. If your company is registered with the Charities Register and required to report under the XRB standards, the Good Numbers app has you covered. One thing to be aware of: we don't currently support calculating income tax or other taxes that apply to non-charitable companies.
Not yet, but it's coming. If your organisation is GST-registered, we're not quite ready for you — but we're working on it. If you're not GST-registered, you're all set and the app fully meets your needs.
At this stage, the Good Numbers app is built specifically for smaller organisations reporting under XRB Tier 4 standards — that's groups with annual expenditure under $140,000. If you're spending more than that, another solution is probably a better fit for now. We do have plans to expand in time, so watch this space.
