The admin you dread
Three moments every sole trader knows too well.
The shoebox of receipts
Receipts fade in a drawer and the deductions fade with them. Every one you lose is money you hand to IRD for no reason.
The surprise GST return
Two months of guesswork, then a number you never budgeted for. GST shouldn’t be a jump-scare every second month.
Provisional tax shock
Your best year yet, rewarded with a provisional tax bill you didn’t see coming. Growth shouldn’t feel like a penalty.
How it works
Capture, see, file. That’s the whole loop.
Capture
Snap receipts, send invoices, log trips and expenses. A few seconds each, from your phone or the web.
See
Your GST, income tax and ACC position updates in real time. Always know exactly where you stand.
File
When your GST return, IR3 or IR4 is due, the numbers are already done. Filing day becomes a formality.
Features
Real-time GST

Why Wrightly
Built for NZ
GST, provisional tax, ACC and IRD rules baked in — not bolted on to overseas software.
Made for IRD
Your GST return and income tax — IR3 for sole traders, IR4 for companies — follow IRD’s rules and boxes, so there are no nasty surprises at filing time.
Your data stays yours
Export any time and delete on request. We never touch or move your money.
Prices held for you
We never raise prices on existing customers. The price you start on is the price you keep.
Questions, answered.
Is the free tier really free?
Yes. Receipts, invoicing, quotes, expenses, mileage — and every tax feature, from live GST tracking to filing-ready IR3 and IR4 income tax — are free forever. No credit card, no trial clock. You only pay if you want Wrightly Plus to do the data entry for you.
What does Wrightly Plus actually do?
It reads your receipts and bank statements, categorises every line, matches receipts to the right bank transaction and publishes it all to your books. If it gets something wrong, one click reverts the whole batch.
Which banks can I connect?
Bank feeds for ANZ, ASB, BNZ, Kiwibank, Westpac and more — through open banking (Akahu) — are coming soon as part of Wrightly Plus, read-only and revocable any time. Today you can bring in a bank statement and let Wrightly Plus read it.
Do you file to IRD for me?
Wrightly keeps your GST returns and your income tax return — IR3 for sole traders, IR4 for companies — filing-ready on every plan, so the numbers are already done when a return is due. Filing straight to IRD from inside Wrightly is coming soon; until then you copy the finished figures into myIR.
Do you handle my money?
No. Wrightly never touches your bank account or moves money — connections are read-only. You keep full control of your accounts; we just read and organise the data.
Can my accountant use it too?
Yes. Wrightly is multi-member: invite your accountant or business partner into your organisation with their own login and the right role.
Can I connect my own AI or tools?
Yes, on every plan. Connect Claude with the one-click MCP connector, or use org-scoped API tokens for scripts and other clients. Everything the app can do — receipts, invoices, GST summaries, publishing line items — is available as tools.
