| Feature | Standard NZ Accounting Software | Wootz |
|---|---|---|

Why Te Reo Māori Matters for Your Business
Supporting Te Reo Māori isn't about checking a box. It's about building authentic relationships with Aotearoa's communities, future-proofing your business, and embodying the values that modern Kiwi founders stand for.
Strengthen Whānau Relationships
When you invoice in Te Reo Māori, you're signaling respect and cultural commitment. Māori-owned businesses and whānau networks respond to authentic engagement. It's not just good business—it's good citizenship.
Stand Out from the Crowd
The vast majority of NZ businesses don't support Te Reo. By offering Māori language invoicing, you demonstrate innovation and cultural awareness—key differentiators in an increasingly conscious market.
Meet IRD Compliance Effortlessly
Te Reo invoicing in Wootz maintains full IRD compliance and audit trails. Your Māori language documents carry the same legal weight and protection as English ones.
Future-Proof Your Business
Te Reo Māori is experiencing a revival in NZ business. With Wootz, you're ahead of the curve—ready for regulations, partner requests, and market expectations that increasingly favor bicultural practices.

Why I built Wootz
I used to wrangle invoices in spreadsheets and pay for big-name software that still felt clunky. Wootz is my attempt to give Kiwi owners something faster, clearer, and priced fairly.
We add features only after talking with real customers—from tradies in Tauranga to cafes in Wellington. If it does not save time or keep you compliant, it does not ship.
