Aeion Finance Pricing
Flat-tier pricing. No per-employee fees on payroll, anywhere it's included. No per-transaction fees on invoicing. No per-invoice fees on AR. 14-day free trial on every tier; Starter covers core ledger functionality, Starter and Pro add AP/AR and bank integration, Enterprise adds full payroll, tax filing, and HR.
Where Payroll and Tax Forms Live
Payroll, NACHA direct deposit, tax-form generation/e-filing, and the full HRIS/ATS suite are Enterprise-tier features. Starter and Pro cover core ledger, AP/AR, bank feeds, and reconciliation — genuinely strong replacements for QuickBooks/Xero at those layers — but a business that needs to actually run payroll through Aeion needs Enterprise.

FAQ
Per-employee pricing punishes growth. A 200-person team pays Gusto $14K-30K/yr just for payroll, even though running 200 paychecks costs essentially the same compute as running 50. Enterprise payroll is flat regardless of headcount.
No on ledger / invoicing / payroll runs. Yes (passthrough) on payment processing — when a customer pays you via Stripe / Adyen / etc., that payment provider takes their fee. We don't add a markup.
A separate legal entity with its own EIN / VAT number / tax filings, tracked via a lightweight entity registry (name, type, jurisdiction, parent, ownership). Enterprise supports unlimited entities. Intercompany journals and elimination aren't automated today — record them via manual journal entries or a custom Blueprint workflow.
Enterprise is sold as a single tier covering the full Finance module — payroll isn't separable today.
Yes — 14 days free on any tier, no credit card required. There's no permanent free plan.
Yes — 20% off annual prepay on any tier.
Zero on Starter and Pro. Enterprise may include a one-time onboarding fee for payroll/HR migration assistance (typically $2-10K depending on complexity); often waived if migrating from QBO/Xero/Gusto.
30-day money-back on annual prepay. Monthly is cancel-anytime, no proration.
