Set Up & Scale Up – Afirmo is with you all the way!

It’s easy to see Afirmo offers you a lot more than Hnry! Afirmo is here to support you with a cross section of business management services, while Hnry is only a payment and tax management support tool.

If you have been in business a while, it is likely you are looking for more control of your tax management and cashflow and Afirmo has got you covered

Is Afirmo right for you?

That depends on you and your business and your future. If you are starting a business it’s tempting to opt for a sole trader set up. Before you opt for sole trader status, take time to think carefully about your long-term plans for your business. If you think your business will grow, and you will need staff, or if you have plans to one day sell your business, consider opting for a partnership or company business formation set up, to ensure your business in future proofed.

Afirmo offers services to sole traders, partnerships and companies. Hnry only caters for sole trader businesses. So, if you have plans to have a business that grows and thrives and that you want to sell one day, Afirmo is here for you

Afirmo software has been designed to meet the needs of complex and simple businesses alike

This is an important factor if you’re growing fast. Afirmo knows all businesses have differing needs, so we use different tricks (by the book of course) for claiming appreciation and depreciation, to create a tailored solution that is right for you and your business. This means you get the best possible tax outcome and position to continue growing your business.
With Hnry, their pricing includes tax management, but they do not work with you to minimise the amount of tax you’ll have to pay or maximise your tax return.

Get Started

Afirmo has tailored options to suit you and your business, dependent on how much support you need with your tax, while Hnry charges a flat 1% of your income – essentially they offer one-size-fits-all.

How Hnry Manages Your Tax

Different Fee Structures

First let’s take a look at the Afirmo Scale Up plans and what they include:

Depending on how much you earn, Hnry’s fees will change. Hnry takes 1% of your income, up to $1500 per year. With Afirmo it isn’t about how much you make, but rather how much support you need. If you’re comfortable filing your own tax returns or you have an accountant you’re using then you pay less.

Flexible Solutions for Your Business with Afirmo

If you want Afirmo to file your Income Tax and GST returns (up to six of them!) we can do this too. It all comes down to the subscription plan you choose.

When we complete and file your Income Tax returns we’ll talk with you about the different methods available so you are positioned to potentially pay less tax.

“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. Afirmo’s eBook, The Ultimate Guide to Becoming a Freelancer is particularly inspiring, and the Learning Hub on their website has answered a lot of my questions. It has taught me important things I didn’t know and I am now inspired to create a whole new business with all the tools and support that Afirmo offers. I really wish I’d had Afirmo when I started my first business, as it easily guides you through everything you need for setting up, and beyond. It really is everything is one place!”
