What you get with Hnry
- Unlimited invoices and expense claims.
- All your taxes calculated and paid as you go.
- Hnry becomes your accountant, filing your returns and representing you to the IRD and ACC.
- Clients can pay by credit card at no extra cost to you.
- Automatic transaction reconciliation.
You get all of this for just 1% + GST of your self-employed income (capped at $1,500/year).
What you get with Parpera
With Parpera’s sole trader plan, you can:
- Send unlimited invoices.
- Manage expenses.
- Auto-reconcile your transactions.
You still need…
- An accountant (averaging $2,000/year).
- A payment system like Stripe (2.9% + $0.30 on top of your invoices).
- Time for financial admin – categorising expenses, calculating and deducting taxes, making tax payments, and lodging income tax and GST returns (averaging 5 hours/week or $5,000/year for an assistant).
All of this combined could cost you over $8,000/year.
In the past, I had tried other accounting software to do my GST returns - assuming they’d send it all from the accounting software. I soon realised after receiving an unexpected tax bill I hadn’t actually paid it. Now, with Hnry, it’s all done for me automatically.

With Hnry I have a lot more free time now that I’m not mucking around with trying to understand complicated accounting software.

With Hnry you get all your taxes paid and filed (Income Tax, GST and ACC), all your business and home office expenses reviewed by expert accountants, as well as getting great software for invoicing, quoting, and personal financial management.
