What does Hnry do?
Hnry saves sole traders time, money, and stress by automatically calculating and paying their taxes - whenever they get paid.
Hnry customers can easily send invoices and raise expenses through the Hnry app, and as their accountant, we’ll review their expenses and file their tax returns whenever they’re due. In short, Hnry gets the tax stuff done for sole traders.
What new products and services will Hnry be releasing?
We’re committed to helping sole traders with their financial admin - as part of that, we will be releasing new financial management products to save them more time, money, and hassle.
What types of roles are you recruiting for?
We have a broad range of roles opening up across the entire business, including Engineering, Product, Marketing, Customer Finance, and Customer Support.
Who are Hnry’s competitors and what makes Hnry different from them?
Historically, self-employed individuals have had two choices: use accounting software or get a traditional accountant.
Hnry is the first service of its kind because it offers both solutions in one – so taxes are automatically calculated and paid as they earn. Instead of offering sole traders tools to manage their taxes, Hnry just gets it done.
