A word from Afirmo Customers

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 

Afirmo is such a great tool for my little startup. 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.

Great support and help from the Afirmo support team and accountants

George J N

Very happy with the services Afirmo has supplied. Very pleasant to talk to and work with. Without the app, I don’t think it would be possible for me to run a business having no experience in accounting. I recommend this app thank you very much.

General Maintenance Northland LTD

I want to extend my deepest gratitude to the customer support member I talked with and the entire Afirmo team for their exceptional work in developing such a versatile accounting platform, suitable for businesses of all types. Their dedication, kindness, and support throughout the process have been truly commendable. 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. Cheers!

Pyan

Really efficient and honest advice in regard to taxes. Would definitely consider Afirmo for tax purposes and would recommend to anyone.

Ana

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!

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
