Our mission

Our Mission

We’re your friendly guides on this haerenga.

Our mission is to support you in building a thriving, sustainable midwifery career — not by adding more to your plate, but by taking the numbers off it. You didn’t become a midwife to manage spreadsheets. You do this mahi to care for hapū māmā, pēpi, and whānau — to uplift your community with aroha and presence.

That’s where we come in. We handle the financial side with clarity, care, and calm — so you can stay focused on your calling. We’ll help you keep things organised behind the scenes, plan for the future, and feel confident along the way.

Our kaupapa is simple: when your pūtea is looked after, you’re free to do what you do best — manaaki whānau.

Xero Support

Xero Accounting Support

It’s time to get it working for you.

Getting started is easy. We’ll help you link your business bank account to Xero so that your transactions come through automatically. You don’t have to upload anything or keep paper records — it all just flows in.

From there, just remember: put business through your business account. That’s it. Keep it clean and separate from personal spending.

We’ll also show you how to “code” your transactions — that means telling Xero what each one was for. It’s simple, takes just a few minutes to learn, and we’ll guide you through it step by step.

Meet the Team Behind Accounting for Midwives

At Accounting for Midwives, we’re here to make life a little easier. We know that being a midwife is more than a job — it’s long hours, big emotions, and not a lot of spare time for admin.

That’s why we keep things simple, friendly, and calm. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just a supportive team that understands your work and takes care of the financial side — so you don’t have to.

We’re real Kiwis, easy to talk to, and always just a message or call away.
