Thinking Of Using Hnry for Invoicing? Here's What You Need To Know

We understand that many clients are looking for easier ways to manage their finances, and lately, Hnry (hnry.co.nz) has been getting a lot of attention — especially for its invoicing features. At first glance, it might seem like a handy tool just to send invoices, but there’s something important you need to know: 

Hnry is More Than an Invoicing Tool — It’s a Tax Agent 

When you sign up with Hnry — even if it’s just to use their invoicing system — you are automatically signing up for their full tax and accounting service. That includes: 
  • Appointing Hnry as your tax agent with Inland Revenue (IRD) 
  • Giving them the authority to file your tax returns, manage your GST, and handle ACC 
  • Letting them deduct and pay your income tax, student loan, KiwiSaver, and more — every time you get paid 

This means that even if your intention was just to try out their invoicing tools, you’ve actually agreed to let them take over your entire tax setup. 

What This Means for Our Work Together 
If you sign up for Hnry, we are automatically removed as your accountant and tax agent. We will no longer have access to your IRD information or be able to assist with: 
  • Tax return preparation or filing 
  • Business or personal tax planning 
  • Managing IRD correspondence 
  • Any ongoing financial support 

In short, you will no longer be our client once Hnry becomes your tax agent — regardless of whether you intended it or not. 

What You Should Do Before Signing Up 
We recommend taking a close look at the full scope of what Hnry provides before registering, especially if your only interest is invoicing. It’s always best to ask questions before making changes to your financial setup — and we're here to help if you’re unsure. 

We offer flexible support and can recommend tools that integrate with our services if you're looking for a simple way to send invoices without giving up personal service or handing over control of your tax affairs. 

In Summary 
Hnry may seem like a convenient invoicing tool, but signing up means committing to a full-service package — one that includes replacing your accountant and tax agent. If you value the support, familiarity, and personal service we offer, it’s important to understand that signing up for Hnry means ending that relationship. ​
