I'm not great with tech or accounting — is Ovaro built for me?
Yes. You say or type what happened ("invoice Dave £400 for fitting a sink") and Ovaro does the formatting, the maths and the VAT. If you can send a text, you can run your books.
How do I get paid?
Every invoice carries a Stripe card payment link, plus your bank details if you add them. When a card payment comes in, the invoice is marked paid for you.
Does Ovaro work with HMRC and Making Tax Digital?
Ovaro keeps digital records. It does not submit returns to HMRC. It records your sales, expenses and mileage and shows a running 2026/27 Income Tax and Class 4 NI estimate; filing stays with you or your accountant.
Can I track expenses and mileage too?
Snap a receipt and Ovaro reads the shop, date and amount for you to confirm. For mileage, tap Start or add a trip, and Ovaro works out the claim at HMRC mileage rates.
Is my data safe?
Records are encrypted in transit and at rest, and each account can only see its own data. Export to CSV any time, or delete your account and take your data with you.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
Yes — month to month, no contract. Cancel from your settings and you won't be charged again.
