FAQ’s

Can I get an extension on a trial?2024-04-02T12:25:41+13:00

No, you must purchase a Boost, Ignite or Rocket plan. Once you are a paying customer you can appoint us as your tax agency which means you get an automatic extension.  If you are midway through a trial you can navigate to the “My Account > Plans” section when you are logged in here, and cut your trial short.  

The free trial is 30 days – can I use this up before I purchase?2024-04-02T12:04:25+13:00

Yes, but to avoid overdue fines from Inland Revenue you must appoint us as your tax agent before 7 July. It’s simple to do this in Afirmo, you’ll be prompted to complete a one-page form during on-boarding. You can start the sign up process here.

What happens to my tax records if I move to Afirmo from another provider?2024-04-02T12:02:45+13:00

As your tax agent, Afirmo will be able to get these records from IRD, 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. 

Can I trust Afirmo to deal with my tax obligations?2024-04-02T12:02:56+13:00

Yes, absolutely. Afirmo can be trusted because we are a registered tax agent with IRD. This means that IRD have granted Afirmo the right to file tax returns and make tax payments on your behalf. We employ accountants and tax professionals to ensure that you get the best advice possible. Tax professionals have also helped us design our automated Tax Tool so you know the calculations are correct. 

Can I use another tool for accounting and Afirmo for tax?2024-04-02T12:03:00+13:00

Yes, we know that some accounting tools don’t allow income tax to be dynamically calculated and an IRD 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. 

Can I use Hnry and Afirmo at the same time for my tax services?2024-04-02T12:03:11+13:00

No, Hnry and Afirmo cannot be used together. Hnry is a basic tax tool aimed only at sole traders. Afirmo has an array of features and services that are not part of Hrny’s service offering. Hnry is a closed system meaning that you can’t use other support services like Afirmo if you do use them. Check out our full comparison of Afirmo vs Hnry here. 

Is Afirmo like Hnry?2024-04-02T12:03:15+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?2024-04-02T12:03:23+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?2024-04-02T12:03:31+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. 

What is an Afirmo Bank Wallet?2024-04-02T12:03:40+13:00

Afirmo has partnered with Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) to offer you a bank wallet account. This means that BNZ has issued Afirmo trust accounts, and Afirmo adds bank accounts under these trust accounts so you can use them to receive business income, and save for tax bills. Afirmo cannot access these funds as they are held on trust for you as our business customer. 

A word from Afirmo Customers

James
General Maintenance Northland LTD

Chloe Chambers

“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!”
