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.
