⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Trusted by 7,500+ Users

This platform is not just a tool; it’s a solution that alleviates the burden of tax preparation, allowing businesses to focus on growth and profitability without being bogged down by the complexities of financial management.

I signed up to Afirmo wondering how much use it would be to my existing business. Turns out it is helping to refine and streamline my business so much! I’m no longer daunted by the end of the tax year.

The team at Afirmo are an absolute pleasure to work with. They’re passionate, professional and genuine and stand behind who they are and what they do and do it to a high standard.

Unbelievably excellent service! A huge thank you to Afirmo for going above and beyond to help me out.

With Afirmo, I effortlessly have all my tax info and income details readily available, while Afirmo handles the entire process in the background. The customer service is spectacular. It’s never taken the customer services team longer than 10 minutes to reply to me and they always come back with a resolution.

Really efficient and honest advice in regard to taxes. Would definitely consider Afirmo for tax purposes and would recommend to anyone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Afirmo work for companies?2025-03-20T07:08:29+13:00

Yes, our software is built for companies and sole traders. Our tax team are experts on all business structures so you can join us from your old accountants knowing you are being well looked after. 

What happens to my tax records if I move to Afirmo from another provider?2025-03-19T16:23:24+13:00

As your tax agent, Afirmo will be able to get these records from Inland Revenue, or your previous accountant, or previous online tax tool provider, with ease. They are obligated to hand over the information, so you are not disadvantaged by moving to Afirmo at any point. 

Is Afirmo like Hnry?2025-03-22T14:13:02+13:00

No Afirmo is not like Hnry. Afirmo offers a significant step up in terms of the amount of control you have over your money and how you access it. Check out our full comparison of Afirmo vs Hnry here. 

Is Afirmo like Xero?2025-03-22T14:11:47+13:00

No. While Afirmo and Xero both provide online accounting services each offer very different services. Afirmo is an easy-to-use simple tax and accounting system designed so you don’t need to know very much at all about accounting. Xero is a complex accounting system that to operate, requires a reasonable knowledge of accounting. Check out our full comparison of Afirmo vs Xero here. 

If I use Afirmo will my accountant stop talking to me?2025-03-19T16:27:47+13:00

Only if you want them to! You can use Afirmo and still use your accountant if you want to, or you can use Afirmo’s accountants to help you with tax questions and file your income tax and GST returns for you. You choose. 

Does Afirmo hold onto my money?2025-03-22T13:49:50+13:00

No. Use our Income tax and GST dashboards to ensure your savings are on track. Your tax dollars stay in your account until your taxes are due – so they’re available if needed for cashflow (make sure you replace them before your tax is due!)

How much does Afirmo cost?2025-04-04T11:58:42+13:00

Less than you think! We have four affordable plans to pick from each including both an Accountant & Software. See plans

Can I switch from hnry/Xero/MYOB or another accounting software provider?2025-03-19T16:19:17+13:00

You sure can! We have an automated process for this. You can now step through which data to export/import and what to hold on to in case of a dreaded audit.

Can I use another tool for accounting and Afirmo for tax?2025-03-19T16:20:56+13:00

Yes, we know that some accounting tools don’t allow income tax to be dynamically calculated and an Inland Revenue tax return prepared. You can use any accounting tool for your business accounting and Afirmo for your business tax management (for example Xero for accounting, and Afirmo for tax if this is your preference). 

Check out our full comparison of Afirmo vs Xero here. 

What is a business wallet?2025-03-19T16:18:16+13:00

A business wallet is a sub-account of the BNZ trust account. This means that any cash you hold with Afirmo is held in a BNZ account. Afirmo cannot access these funds as they are held on trust for you as our business customer.

See how Afirmo compares

Afirmo vs Hnry

Afirmo allows full financial control for all business types, whereas Hnry acts as a payments provider catering to sole traders. Hnry takes a percentage cut of your earnings while Afirmo tell you what to save while the money sits in your own accounts.

Afirmo vs Xero

Xero’s robust range of integrations and plugins caters well to large and complex organisations who use an accountant alongside their software. Until now, there haven’t been many alternatives for smaller businesses, people who don’t need all the bells and whistles, who are looking for a solution without the price tag.

Afirmo vs Traditional Accountant

There is no denying that an accountant can help you to minimise your tax bills (legally). But with more tax advice comes larger accounting bills, which aren’t justifiable for smaller businesses. Afirmo gives you the best of both worlds – affordable accounting software, and accountants to check your tax returns.

Afirmo vs MYOB

Afirmo’s tax and accounting software is simple to understand, and use, and is designed for the owners of small businesses. MYOB has built an accounting system aimed at bookkeepers and business owners with extensive accounting know-how. The MYOB software manages accounting and GST, but not income tax – unlike Afirmo which manages everything.

Afirmo vs Beany

Afirmo and Beany do both offer business accounting and tax management services, but each approach these services in very different ways (resulting in very different pricing). Beany is like a virtual accountant working on top of your existing accounting software subscription (like Xero). Afirmo, by contrast, is a one-stop-business-support-shop software platform
