Invoice templates
If you’re not using online accounting software like Xero, the invoice templates in the self-employed kit are for you. They make it easy to create GST or non-GST invoices that include all the details required by IRD.
Guide to GST

Moving off spreadsheets
The guide to moving off spreadsheets explains why they aren’t a long-term solution, and covers how to choose the most suitable accounting software for your business.
Accounting for self-employed
This guide outlines the benefits of moving your accounts and other business tools online, and walks you through three steps for finding the right online accounting software.
