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.

As soon as my client has paid me - Hnry sends me an email telling me I just got paid.
The money goes into my Hnry Account, from which Hnry deducts my Superannuation, Medicare, income tax, and GST - and then they give me the rest!

I can send an invoice, then the payment goes straight into my Hnry account. Hnry allocates money to my taxes, Super, Medicare and student loan, as well as GST. Within a couple of hours, I then get the rest of the money into my own personal bank account.
