Kia orana — built in Rarotonga for Cook Islands businesses

Cook Islands accounting, made practical.

Easy prepares your RM205 VAT return, runs CINSF and PAYE payroll, and keeps a proper double-entry ledger — in New Zealand dollars.

No credit card required · Set up in minutes · Cancel anytime

Imports statements from the banks you already use

  • BSPBank South Pacific CK
  • BCIBank of the Cook Islands
  • ANZANZ Bank CK

From shoebox to return-ready in three steps.

Set it up once. After that, the month-end work mostly takes care of itself.

  1. Set up your business

    Add your RMD number, bank account and logo under Settings. Start fresh or migrate from Manager.io or spreadsheets.

  2. Invoice, capture, import

    Send invoices, photograph bills and import your bank statements. Match lines instead of typing them.

  3. Review and lodge

    Your RM205, RM106 and RM101 are prepared from the ledger. You or your accountant review and lodge.

Built for local realities

Not a global product with a local settings page.

Generic software is loaded with overseas tax rules and features you never use. Easy gives you exactly what matters here.

Cook Islands VAT, return-ready

15% VAT on sales and purchases, built into your monthly RM205 — ready to lodge by the 20th.

RM205 FROM YOUR LEDGER

Your bank, already imported

CSV, OFX or standard exports from BSP, BCI and ANZ. Match, don't retype.

IMPORT AND RECONCILE

Payroll that knows CINSF

Employee and employer CINSF, local PAYE, payslips, leave and wage returns — from one pay run.

CINSF · PAYE · RM106 / RM101

Product capabilities

Everything you need to run your finances.

Invoice, track expenses, pay staff and know your true numbers — without an accounting degree or a spreadsheet.

Invoicing

Send clean, branded invoices. Get paid faster.

Quotes and invoices in NZD, with your logo, RMD number and payment instructions on every one. See paid, overdue and pending at a glance.

  • Instant PDF invoices with payment instructions
  • Configurable 15% VAT on line items
  • Aged receivables to chase overdue accounts

Reporting

A proper double-entry ledger, without the jargon.

Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, Trial Balance and General Ledger — every posting traceable back to the invoice or bill that created it.

  • Chart of accounts set up for local businesses
  • Full audit trail — who changed what, and when
  • One-click export for your accountant

Bill capture NEW

Snap a bill. Approve it. Done.

Photograph or upload a supplier bill. Easy reads it and suggests the supplier, amount and account — a person always confirms before anything posts.

  • Photo or PDF, from any device
  • Suggested coding — never automatic posting
  • One inbox until you clear it

Payroll

Pay day, without the spreadsheet.

Set up staff once with their CINSF rate and tax code. Each pay run calculates gross wages, PAYE, and employee and employer contributions.

  • Printable and emailable payslips
  • Monthly CINSF contribution summaries
  • RM106 / RM101 wage returns from the same run

Cash position

No surprise tight months.

See upcoming bills, expected receipts and fixed overheads in one place — before you commit to a big purchase.

  • Balances across all your bank accounts
  • Expense breakdown by category
  • Period-over-period revenue comparison

Switching to Easy

Moving from Manager.io or spreadsheets?

You don't have to start from scratch. We help you bring your books across and check the numbers line up.

  1. Bring your data

    Export from Manager.io, or send a CSV journal from your spreadsheets. Both import straight into Easy.

  2. Map your accounts

    We help you map your chart of accounts and set opening balances, so your first reports match your last ones.

  3. Carry on from there

    Import your BSP, BCI or ANZ statements, invite your team and run your next VAT return in Easy.

For accountants & bookkeepers

Bring your accountant in. Stop emailing files.

Invite your accountant or bookkeeper with their own login and a role that limits what they can see and change. They review the numbers where they live.

  • Review trial balances and drill into ledger accounts
  • Export year-end data for tax without back-and-forth
  • RM205 and RM6 workings prepared from the ledger
  • Every change recorded in the audit trail
