BukMasta exists to take the paperwork off the desks of Papua New Guinea’s micro, small and medium businesses, so the people behind them can get back to running and growing them.
Three jobs, in this order.
Most MSMEs in Papua New Guinea still run on a spreadsheet, a till tape and a bank statement. BukMasta reads the bank statement, posts the entries, chases the invoices and works out the tax — so a long Saturday of bookkeeping becomes a few minutes on a phone.
A real double-entry ledger, period locking, year-end close and the same controls the big firms use — without needing an accountant on staff to keep it straight. A business owner can do it themselves, with a little help from us when they need it.
Software alone does not grow a business. BukMasta pairs the platform with training, a compliance dashboard and a support team that knows PNG filings, so a business can move from one shop to several, from cash to credit, from survival to scale — without outgrowing the system.
Not a global product pointed at PNG — the other way around.
GST, Salary or Wages Tax, IRC, IPA and SBT returns are native to BukMasta, not add-ons. Bank-statement imports support PDF and CSV, with format coverage being verified against representative PNG statements. Kina formatting, PNG date conventions and the Companies Act 1997 annual return workflow are part of the platform, because the businesses we serve live inside those rules every day.
A capability-by-capability comparison against Xero and QuickBooks Online — the two platforms many PNG businesses consider. The standings below are our benchmark targets. Production validation is in progress; they are not a completed certification of parity or superiority.
Verification status: production audit in progress. The earlier claim of 1,073 passing tests did not include reproducible supporting evidence and is withdrawn. A feature listing or a passing targeted scenario does not establish full workflow readiness. Statutory exports do not establish accepted lodgement, and provider payments require certification. Xero and QuickBooks are trademarks of their respective owners.

Invoicing, payroll, GST and reporting in one system — with training and support behind it.
