How Barnaby helps
Less paperwork, fewer surprises
Your bank transactions sort themselves
Connect your bank, or upload a CSV statement from any bank. Categorise a transaction once and Barnaby learns: similar ones go to the same place next time.
Know your tax before the bill arrives
Barnaby keeps a running estimate of your income tax, GST and ACC from what you’ve already entered, so you can put the right amount aside as you go.
Due dates, on your calendar
GST returns, provisional tax instalments, rates and property inspections show up on your calendar, and you mark them paid or done when they are.
How much did I spend on repairs at the rental this year?
$1,236.40 across 9 transactions. The biggest was the hot water cylinder in August ($780.00).

Questions
Frequently asked
Which banks does Barnaby work with?
Barnaby can connect to New Zealand banks directly, and you can always upload a CSV statement exported from your bank’s website instead.
Can I use it for more than one rental property?
Yes. Each property keeps its own transactions, chattels and tax summary.
Does Barnaby calculate my provisional tax?
IRD sets your provisional tax. Once you have the due dates and amounts, Barnaby tracks each instalment and reminds you before it’s due.
What is Ask Barnaby?
A chat assistant inside the app that answers questions about your own numbers. It’s in beta, so it’s still being improved.
