⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
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.

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
