QuickBooks handles the books. AnooreHR handles the business.
QuickBooks is solid for general ledger — we won't pretend otherwise. But Nigerian SMEs need PAYE, Pension, NHF, NSITF, ITF, VAT and WHT computed in one system, not four. Plus HR, leave, onboarding, and (for groups) consolidation. That's the gap we close.

If you only need books, QuickBooks is fine. If you also run payroll, manage people, and want it all in one place, AnooreHR replaces QuickBooks + Gusto + a spreadsheet — for less than you pay QuickBooks today.
Frequently asked
Yes. We ingest QuickBooks CoA, trial balance, and customer/vendor lists via CSV. During onboarding we map your accounts to the Nigeria Profile Pack so your historical reports stay consistent.
Opening balances as of your cutover date are imported. If you need full history for audit, we recommend exporting QuickBooks reports to PDF first and running AnooreHR from the new fiscal period.
No — it replaces the software. Your accountant reviews the same books, just with PAYE, WHT, VAT and intercompany elimination already computed. Most accountants save 40+ hours a month.
Yes. Every Nigerian tax rate, bracket, and levy lives in a JSON profile pack — when FIRS/NRS updates rates, we ship the new profile within 30 days. No code change, no reconfiguration on your side.
