What Our Clients Say
Our not-for profit community organisation transitioned to FreeUp recently and we are so glad that we did. From the beginning we were impressed by their knowledge and fit for purpose advice. FreeUp understand and recognise the challenges faced by community organisations. They know their work, are knowledgeable in Xero, and are aware of new reporting Standards and requirements for Charities Services. Willie helped identify and explain areas for correction/ improvement, assisted with filing the end of year report and always communicated in a timely, clear and professional manner. This knowledge, expertise and calm approach was reassuring, gave us piece of mind, and freed us up to get on with our work. We highly recommend FreeUp :)
— Te Ora Hou
Wellington East Trust
Willie is very supportive and very understanding of our situation. We are a small non for profit club and since Free Up has been on board the committee feels like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Highly recommend you give Free Up a call if you are looking for a great accountant.
— Otahuhu Recreational Sports Club
Our charity is very unique and we had previously enlisted generic bookkeepers to help with our Xero set-up. After an unsuccessful attempt with them we moved to FreeUp and it was worth every single cent. Having a CA's advice and insight was invaluable, and FreeUp could work to a very tight timeline.
— Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI)
We are so impressed by the quick and positive service FreeUp has provided our Charitable Trust. Working alongside Willie has given us the confidence to serve our communities while assuring our financial reports and book keeping are consistent and with Integrity.
— Daphiney Owen (Co-founder), Oceans Before Me Charitable Trust
FreeUp has given me peace of mind with their support and knowledge. They have helped me succeed by providing good advice on how to structure my business and plan ahead, helped me to use Xero to it’s fullest, and cleared my head and desk of a huge amount of stress and wasted time. It has been a great benefit being able to deal with someone who can easily be contacted to receive the help and advice needed. Willie is someone I can trust and recommend to other friends.
David Smith (Business Owner), Tiller Quest
Transitioning to FreeUp has been a pretty seamless experience. They really understood our not-for-profit and immediately recognised what needed to be done. They very quickly identified areas where we had trouble and made an immediate impact by simplifying the end of year process. FreeUp's custom reports made filing our Charities Services return a breeze directly interfacing from Xero. FreeUp answered all our questions, corrected any changes that were required, and made us feel like we had been working with them for years. The whole experience couldn't have really been better.
— Graham Knights (Treasurer), Petone Christian Fellowship Church
FreeUp LMTD has been extremely beneficial in assisting my organization in handling what seemed to be a complicated tax and trust mess. We were kept informed throughout the process and are extremely satisfied with the end result.
— The 24-Hour Marathon Trust
Willie is extremely knowledgable and we are very grateful for his thoughtful set-up of our Xero accounts. Being a charity with international grants, we have a few quirks and Willie has been really helpful in providing solutions to these to aid with grant reporting. 10/10, thanks!

Finance Lead HRMI
