Rounded vs. Hnry

Want an alternative to Rounded? Here’s how Hnry is better for sole traders than standard invoicing and accounting software.

Why choose Hnry?

Tax and expenses made automatic

We automatically calculate and pay your taxes from your Hnry Account as you earn, so you’re always up-to-date and know what’s in your pocket is yours to keep. Plus, the Hnry Business Mastercard automatically raises your business expenses to lower your tax rate as you spend.

An accountant with your software

We become your accountant as part of our service (so at no extra cost to you), which means we file your returns (even GST), manage your expenses as you go to minimise your tax bill, and our team of local, sole trader tax experts are specialised in your industry and there if you need a hand.

A suite of features - at no extra cost!

You get a bunch of features for all your business needs, like unlimited invoices and quotes, multiple payment options and more. We don’t muck around with different fee structures or tiers of service, just a simple 1% +GST pay-as-you-earn model for everything.

We’re here for you, and know what we’re doing

We’re New Zealand’s largest sole trader accounting service, and process over $3bn in payments annually. Our support team of real humans are based right here in Wellington, and are here to help.

Deciding between Rounded or Hnry?

It's like comparing apples and fruit salad.

Fruit Salad

Why go out and pay for individual bits of fruit, when you can get it all (and all the extra good bits) for less?

We don't believe in giving sole traders only some of what they need, or paying for an accountant on top of accounting software.

We're not just your software, and we're not just your accountant. We're both and more, at the same time.

  • Not having to go out there and worry about finding the right accountant was a bonus for me. Having someone that I can trust to deal with all my taxes and expenses has really given me that peace of mind.

    Linh Project Manager

  • Having something like Hnry is what helped me make the jump from doing this as a side gig to making it my full time gig. The accounting side and tax side of things was terrifying. Now I have someone that just does it for me.

  • If you’re a sole trader, I seriously can’t tell you enough, get Hnry now. It’s just really, really handy to have my own little accountant in my pocket.

  • Hnry lets me focus on the stuff that I’m actually passionate about. Hnry takes a huge weight off my shoulders.

    Yuxin Freelancer

  • What I love most about Hnry is how all of the stress is gone.

    Matt Graphic Designer

  • Hnry just does it for you and tells you when its done and communication is super straight forward. They made it super easy for me. I didn’t really have to think too much about my taxes at the end of the financial year.
