The story
FNA Manager came out of a problem our founders, Aidan and Will, kept running into in their own businesses. They're old mates who have both run companies, and they know how hard it is to stay on top of the money side — especially in the trades.
They'd watch builders finish a job, send the invoice, and only find out months later whether it made any money. Spreadsheets got bigger and messier. What the gear and the crew really cost was always a bit of a guess. And the software out there was either too general, too complicated, or built for businesses nothing like theirs.
So they built this. It plugs into Xero, which trades businesses already use, and turns those numbers into plain answers. It isn't another accounting system — it sits on top of the one you have and tells you what it all means.
What we believe
The principles behind everything we build.
Your numbers should be clear
Not buried in spreadsheets, not locked behind jargon. You should be able to look at your business and know — clearly, simply — where you stand.
Software should save you time
Not create more work. If you're spending hours entering data into a tool that's supposed to help you, something's gone wrong. That's why we sync with Xero — your data is already there.
Built for NZ, not retrofitted
We understand GST, NZ payroll, and how trades businesses work here. This isn't an overseas product with a New Zealand flag stuck on it — it was built here, for here.
Why being NZ-built matters
We're not a Silicon Valley startup guessing at New Zealand from the other side of the world. We're here. We know how GST works, how NZ payroll runs, and what a tradie actually has to keep on top of — because we've had to do it ourselves.
