Why Accounting PRO

Everything the books need

Every plan includes the full core ledger — chart of accounts, tax rates, invoices, GST returns and bank accounts. Upgrade only when you need more seats or the reconciliation and reporting extras.

Organisations

One login, many organisations. Each one gets its own chart of accounts, tax rates and members — keep every set of books in one place.

Invoices & receipts

Draft an invoice, post it to the ledger, bank the receipt and share a PDF or an online copy — with credit notes and customer receipts handled.

Purchases & suppliers

The supplier side mirrors sales: a supplier directory, bills, payments and accounts payable, so both sides of every transaction stay in step.

Banking & reconciliation

Bank accounts, imported bank transactions, one-click matching of a bank line and full reconciliation that proves the ledger ties to the bank.

GST & tax rates

Tax rates and GST configuration, a GST return register and GST101 returns prepared the New Zealand way — ready for Inland Revenue.

Ledger & reports

A double-entry general ledger, journals, financial periods, year-end close and aged receivables and payables split into current, 1–30, 31–60, 61–90 days.

  • Always balanced — postings are written by the accounting engine, immutable and corrected with credit notes, never by editing.
  • Roles & plans — invite users into Owner, Accountant or Bookkeeper roles and unlock modules with a subscription plan.
  • Granular permissions — six system roles with per-action grants, so everyone sees exactly what they should.
  • Word invoice template — brand your invoices with your own template.
  • Import wizard — migrate customers, suppliers and opening balances from your old system.
  • Subscription & billing — self-service plans, trials and read-only mode when a plan ends.
