Advice for accountants and bookkeepers

eInvoicing continues to be adopted across New Zealand with many businesses and the wider government sector progressively becoming enabled to send and receive eInvoices.

There are thousands of businesses registered to receive eInvoices, including government agencies.

Benefits for accountants and bookkeepers

“There are huge benefits for our partners, our accountants, and bookkeepers, where their customers are actually using eInvoicing. It just makes the accountant and bookkeeper's job so much easier.”

Bridget Snelling – Country Manager, Xero NZ

Reduces admin

eInvoicing cuts down on paper and eliminates time spent on manual entry and coding. Invoice data is transferred directly into your accounting system, reducing your admin burden. eInvoicing will reduce the time taken to chase your clients to find out what the invoices are for, simplifying your year-end tasks.

Benefits for your clients

eInvoicing means businesses no longer need to generate paper-based or PDF invoices that have to be printed, posted or emailed. This means buyers no longer need to manually enter invoices into their financial system, improving accuracy, security and speeds up payments.

“We’ve seen first-hand how eInvoicing offers businesses a faster, more accurate and more secure way to invoice – benefits that are real gains for businesses of all sizes. However, to truly maximise the opportunity eInvoicing presents, it’s vital that both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and the larger businesses they provide goods and services to, get on board.”
