Trusted, reliable and cost-effective accounting services

We believe the church is the hope of the world, yet we know many churches and church-related trusts of all sizes struggle with financial administration and compliance reporting. By lifting the burden of these tasks, and providing a reliable alternative to the traditional role of a treasurer, we enable churches to focus more on their mission and make a greater impact in their communities.

Having arranged CATAS to provide services to three charities and seen the benefits, I have no hesitation in recommending CATAS.

David – New Life Churches of New Zealand Trust

CATAS staff are very friendly, helpful, quick to respond and efficient. CATAS do their job so well, and take all the hassle out of payroll matters for us. They are a pleasure to deal with and we are very grateful for their services. Highly recommend.

Gillian – Cambridge Baptist Church

A very good accounting firm! I have experienced many accounting firms in the past and CATAS has proved to be very good because they always respond to queries promptly and efficiently and more importantly, they take care of small organizations like ours.

Yamile – Crossroads Youth with a Future

CATAS provides us with payroll services to take off the pressures of payroll processing and report filing with the IRD as we operate a minimal administration team in our organisation. They are quick, receptive, and understanding of our needs.

Roy – Reformed Church of Christchurch

Excellent to deal with, friendly and professional. Easy to understand answers to questions about all things financial and Xero. I can’t think of any improvements needed, my experience has been excellent thus far.

Carol – Papanui Baptist Church
