Helping you do more good

Accounting and governance solutions for NZ not-for-profits

At Tael, we understand the unique challenges and responsibilities that not-for-profit organisations and charities face in New Zealand. Our team has spent over 30 years working with the charity and NFP sector, building a deep knowledge of the financial frameworks, reporting standards, and governance structures you need to thrive.

We collaborate with your staff, board, and auditors to ensure you stay on top of compliance and regulatory requirements. Our experience includes not just accounting but also strategic planning, fundraising, and board development and governance—because strong financial management is only part of what makes an NFP successful.

Trusted board-level guidance

Natasha, one of our team members, sits on the boards of several charities and also assists with governance and strategic planning sessions. This hands-on experience shapes our approach:

  • Real-world insights – We’ve sat where you sit, making decisions that affect an organisation’s future.
  • Timely, accurate reporting – We tailor reports so all board members can easily understand key metrics and upcoming needs.
  • Focus on growth and sustainability – We look beyond day-to-day finances to help you plan for a strong, enduring future.

Testimonials from our clients

Natasha and her team took over completion of the Family Action accounts 15 years ago. In that time she has provided timely efficient and accurate reports, suggested new ideas for development and been an enthusiastic supporter of the agency. She can be relied on to help out in an emergency and always goes the extra mile.

Michelle Clayton
CEO, Family Action

TAEL Solutions Ltd have been processing our accounts for two years now. For the first year they completed and prepared the annual accounts prior to auditing and for the second year we moved to full monthly accounts and looking after all tax issues, right through to Board Reports and preparation for auditing. As a Not for Profit organisation we especially appreciate the advice we get in regards to our responsibilities in our reporting for Community Services (Department of Internal Affairs) and our major grant providers. We are a small team and prefer to put our efforts into the provision of support services to our “kids” and their families. I would recommend Natasha and the team at TAEL Solutions to any SME or NFP requiring accounting services and professional support to help grow their business and to ensure that good accounting and governance practices are provided.
