About bizzme

Built in Auckland.
For NZ SMEs already on Xero.

The average NZ SME spends 14 hours a month on payroll, GST coding, and HR admin. Most of that is fetching, formatting, and filing things their accounting software already knows. bizzme reads your Xero ledger, does the fetching, and puts the decision in front of you — confirmed by you, posted by us.

Why we built this

Three subscriptions down to one.

The problem we kept seeing

NZ tradies and shop owners were paying PayHero for payroll, Employment Hero for HR, and Dext for receipt coding — three separate logins, three monthly bills, three platforms that don't talk to each other. All of them are feeding the same Xero ledger. We built bizzme to sit between the owner and Xero and handle all three from one place.

What "AI-native" actually means here

Not a chatbot bolted onto legacy software. The AI reads your Xero history to understand your business before you type anything. It knows Kahu Builders' usual materials suppliers, their fortnightly pay cycle, and their 2-monthly GST period. Suggestions are grounded in your data, not generic templates.

The team

Built by people who've run NZ businesses.

JM
James M.
Co-founder · Product & Engineering

Previously ran a construction subcontracting business in Waikato for 8 years. Spent too many Friday afternoons manually keying pay runs into MYOB while trying to price the next job. Built bizzme to solve that specific problem — and then kept going.

AT
Alex T.
Co-founder · Compliance & Operations

Former CA with 10 years in NZ SME accounting. Has filed more GST returns and Holidays Act remediation calculations than she'd like to count. Wrote every regulatory rule in the system and checks them every April.

Our commitments

What we stand behind.

01

NZ-first, always

IRD thresholds, Holidays Act calculations, 90-day trial rules, UEMA requirements — hard-coded, not guessed. We update on 1 April and at each NZ Budget.

02

You hold the pen

bizzme prepares. You confirm. Nothing posts to Xero, IRD, or Akahu without your explicit approval. The signatory role is yours and stays yours.

03

No AI hallucinations on compliance

Tax and employment guidance is grounded against current IRD.govt.nz and employment.govt.nz source documents via retrieval — not generated from training data.

04

Honest about what we are

bizzme is not a tax agent. Not a lawyer. Not a financial adviser. We tell you when you need one. The disclaimer is in every response that touches formal advice.

05

Small team, long attention span

We are not a US company with a NZ checkbox. This is built in Auckland for NZ SMEs. When the tax rules change, we change the day they change.

06

Priced for the owner, not the enterprise

No per-employee surcharges. No add-ons for compliance you need by law. One subscription covers everything a NZ SME runs on payroll day.
