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).

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.
