You didn't start a business to become its compliance department.
Hora tells you what to do, why, and by when — in plain language — and gets the paperwork ready. You spend a few minutes reviewing instead of evenings searching.
Tell Hora what happened
"We hired someone in Texas." "We moved." "Our license expires next month." That's the whole input.
Get a short list, not a lecture
Each item says what to do, which agency wants it, why it applies to you and the date. No legal vocabulary required.
Approve the paperwork Hora prepared
Forms are filled from your profile. You check, submit, paste the receipt — Hora remembers everything for next time.
Time returned. Less admin. Nothing to keep in your head.
Here is one hire, both ways. (Keep your CPA for judgment calls — Hora takes the routine that used to sit between you.)
By hand — an evening of work
- 1Search which forms a new hire triggers in your state (federal, state registry, payroll account, workers' comp, notices)
- 2Find each agency's site, create logins, download the right form version
- 3Type the same company details into each form; check the deadline for each
- 4Put reminders in a calendar you may not look at; file the receipts in email
- 5Repeat next quarter for 941, next year for W-2s — and hope nothing changed
With Hora — minutes of review
Estimated from per-task assumptions — how we estimate →. Filing stays yours; Hora prepares, you submit.
What it actually looks like.
Monday · you hire Marco
- You type one sentence. Three tasks appear with dates: I-9 in 3 days, new-hire report in 20, W-4 now.
- Two documents are pre-filled. You review them over coffee.
- You don't research. You don't chase forms. You don't remember deadlines. You get the time returned.
Thursday · reminder
- "Form I-9 due tomorrow." You mark it done; the receipt is stored.
- Your CPA asks about the quarterly return — you share that one item, not your whole company.
What Hora is not.
Hora is not a lawyer or a CPA and does not give legal or tax advice. It automates the administrative work of compliance — finding, explaining, preparing, tracking — and tells you when a question needs a professional. Final responsibility for filings stays with you, as it does with any tool.
You don't subscribe to a calculator. You subscribe to re-evaluation — on every open today, continuous at launch.
Businesses change. Rules change. Deadlines recur. Hora keeps your obligations organized and re-evaluates them when you return or when your profile changes.
Hora keeps working when you have nothing to enter: the full rule base is re-run against your profile every time you open Hora and on every profile change; new rule versions arrive with each release of Hora, and open tasks pick them up with the old and new values shown. Browser prototype: checks on open. Production: continuous monitoring.
