Set Up & Scale Up – Afirmo is with you all the way!
While Hnry is limited to sole traders, handling only payments and taxes, Afirmo goes beyond. We offer comprehensive business management services for companies, partnerships, and sole traders.
Afirmo caters to sole traders, companies and partnerships. Hnry services are limited to sole traders only.
Hnry is a payments provider, treating sole traders like employees with payslips. If you’re ready for more control over your cash flow, or if you’re worried that oversimplifying your books could mean you’re missing out on tax-back, then Afirmo has you covered.
Afirmo Suits all Shapes and Sizes
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 issued bank accounts are in the form of BNZ Wallets. Unlike Hnry you can control the funds within. You can set up as many wallets as you like and withdraw funds at any time. When you are issued a Hnry ASB Account it is controlled by them. You cannot see how much money you have stored there or withdraw funds from the account.

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.
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.

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.
