Created: December 1, 2024 at 5:25 PM | Updated: November 19, 2025 | By Good Numbers

Good Numbers have a growing number of guides and resources on reporting, banking and other financial issues facing small charities and community groups in Aotearoa New Zealand.

  • A free, comprehensive guide to drafting Tier 4 financial statements can be found here.
  • Another guide pertinent to annual reporting - What is a Statement of Service Performance? (And how to prepare one) - can be found here.

These resources, and others with a financial focus, supplement the Good Numbers Tier 4 Tool and come from a desire to support the mahi of small non-profits and do bookkeeping better for non-profits and charities in Aotearoa New Zealand.

The Tier 4 tool is designed to make preparing annual financial statements easy and low cost for small charities in Aotearoa.

Note: From November 2025, Good Numbers have two paid options for the Tier 4 Tool:

  • Self-Service $24.90 for small charities (get a draft of your Tier 4 financial statements in 5 minutes) and 
  • Full Service $249 (prepared and filed Tier 4 financial statements in 3-5 days)

CommunityNet Aotearoa rarely promotes resources that require payment, but strongly support local, low-cost resources like this that are made specifically for the community sector in Aotearoa New Zealand.
