CashManager was founded in 1994 and became a Kiwi company in 2000. CashManager Cloud is our browser-based accounting software for small businesses in New Zealand and Australia. We develop and support our own product with a small team focused on straightforward accounting and practical phone support.
CashManager was founded in Australia in 1994 with a straightforward idea: small businesses deserve accounting software that's genuinely easy to use, backed by people who actually understand their needs.
For most of that time, CashManager Desktop was a trusted fixture in thousands of NZ and Australian businesses. It did what it promised, and when customers needed help, they could pick up the phone and talk to someone who knew the product.
CashManager Cloud is our modern, fully browser-based accounting solution - built from the ground up for the way businesses work today. No installation. No version upgrades. Access from anywhere.
That's been our approach for more than 30 years. It's still our approach now.
New Zealand phone support is Monday to Friday, 9am-6pm NZT. Australian phone support is Monday to Friday, 7am-4pm AEST. A real person picks up - no bots, no offshore call centres, no ticket queues.
We're not listed on any stock exchange. There are no investors pushing us to grow at the expense of customer experience. Our decisions are driven by what's good for our customers and our team - full stop.
Built for NZ and Australian tax requirements. Supported by a team that knows both markets inside out - same team, same support, same approach.
There are seven of us. We develop the product, support our customers, and run the business. When you call CashManager, you're talking to someone who has probably been answering that phone for longer than most software companies have existed.
Four of our seven team members have been with CashManager for more than 20 years. That kind of tenure doesn't happen by accident - it reflects a workplace where people are valued, and a product they're genuinely proud to support.
For our customers, it means something practical: the person who answers your call has deep knowledge of the product, understands NZ and Australian accounting requirements, and has seen almost every situation before.
These aren't aspirational statements invented for a brand deck. They describe how we've actually operated since 1994.
We make CashManager easy to learn and use. Accounting is already complicated enough - our job is to take that complexity away, not add to it.
CashManager's foundations go back to 1994. We're not going anywhere. When you choose CashManager, you're choosing a partner with a track record - not a startup burning investor cash.
We're friendly and approachable. When you call us, you're talking to someone who knows your name after a couple of calls. That's not a feature - it's just how a small, close-knit team works.
We look after our clients before they need looking after. If we see an issue, we'll tell you. if something's changing - in the software or in NZ and Australian tax requirements - we'll let you know in advance.
We are quick to respond to our clients' needs. Call us during business hours and someone picks up. Email us and you'll hear back the same day. No ticket numbers. No wait times measured in days.
We have a vested interest in our clients' success. Our reputation is built on more than 30 years of doing right by the people who trust us with their financial data. We don't take that lightly.
We've been around long enough to have seen a lot of changes in accounting software - and to have stayed focused on what matters throughout.
CashManager begins in Australia with a simple mission: make accounting software that small businesses can actually use. CashManager Desktop launches as a dedicated small business accounting solution.
CashManager becomes a New Zealand company in 2000 and continues growing across New Zealand and Australia. The team builds a culture of exceptional phone support that distinguishes CashManager from larger competitors.
CashManager Online (CMO) launches, bringing cloud-based accounting to NZ and Australian businesses. The team begins building the foundation for a fully modern cloud platform, while continuing to support Desktop customers throughout the transition.
CMC - our flagship product - launches as a fully browser-based, modern accounting platform. Built from scratch for today's businesses, it brings more than 30 years of experience into a clean, simple, cloud-native product.
CMC continues to grow across New Zealand and Australia. The same values that have defined CashManager since 1994 - simplicity, personal service, genuine care for customers - define it today. Some things shouldn't change.
CashManager Desktop and CashManager Online (CMO) are our legacy products, and we continue to support existing customers on both platforms. If it's working for you, there's no pressure to change.
That said, CashManager Cloud is where everything is going - new features, new integrations, and ongoing development all happen there. If you're curious about what migration looks like, or just want to understand what's different, give us a call. We'll walk you through it honestly, at your pace.
Try CashManager Cloud free for 30 days - or just call us and have a conversation. No sales pitch. Just a real person who knows the product and wants to help you decide if it's the right fit.
