Why choose Hnry?

Income tax, VAT, and National Insurance - we'll sort it all.

Tax and expenses taken care of.

All your taxes and your expenses are automated with the Hnry Account for your income and the Hnry Business Mastercard for your expenses.

We become your accountant.

That means we manage your expenses as you go, submit your returns (yep, even VAT), and give you specialised support when you need it - so tax time becomes relax time.

Plus, a stack of features at no extra cost.

You get everything you need for running your business smoothly - none of what you don’t.

You never have to think about tax again.

Because we do it all for you. Hnry users save 5 hours a week on average on their tax admin - so you have more time to do what you love.

Why do it yourself, when you could let us sort it all?

Fruit Salad

Doing your own taxes can get overwhelming and complicated, real fast. Taking it all on yourself often means endless shoeboxes of receipts, rows upon rows in spreadsheets and the fear of not getting it right - not to mention the countless hours you're spending wrangling it all.

Think of Hnry like a business account and an accountant that also pays your taxes. What we offer gives new meaning to ‘all-in-one’ solution, because our service covers what others can’t.

1% +VAT

of your self-employed income, capped at £600 +VAT per year.

Payment type

Only pay when you're earning self-employed income. No monthly subscriptions. No hidden fees.

What do we offer?

Hnry is your accountant, your software, and a service that automatically calculates and pays your tax.

Nothing else required.

Do it yourself

Free

But you're doing everything yourself, and spending hours you could be billing or relaxing, on your admin. Not to mention the cost of stress.

What's the approach?

A shoebox for your receipts, endless hours spent on tax admin, and a spreadsheet to keep track of everything.

  • 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.

  • 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.
