Voice invoicing, Making Tax Digital, VAT, getting paid, pricing and your data — all in one place. Can't find an answer? Email support@ovaro.io.
Ovaro is voice-first invoicing, expenses, mileage and Making Tax Digital software for UK sole traders and self-employed people. You speak the job; Ovaro turns it into an invoice or estimate, sends a payment link, and keeps the digital record HMRC needs.
UK sole traders, freelancers and self-employed tradespeople — electricians, plumbers, cleaners, handymen, gardeners, decorators, mobile mechanics and anyone who quotes jobs and gets paid by customers directly.
No. Ovaro is designed for self-employed people who do their own books. But if you do have an accountant, you can export a clean CSV at any point so they can file your Self Assessment without rebuilding your year.
Your first invoice journey is free end-to-end: create it, send it and connect Stripe. After that, plans start at £3.99/mo.
Tap the mic, say something like 'invoice John Smith 240 pounds for bathroom tap fitted today'. Ovaro parses the customer, amount, line items and due date, shows you a preview, and you tap send.
No. Every screen also works by typing. Voice is the fastest way, but the keyboard form is always there.

Yes. Voice produces a draft preview. You can edit any field — customer, line items, amounts, VAT, due date — before sending or saving.
Every invoice includes a secure payment link powered by Stripe. Customers can pay by card or Apple Pay / Google Pay on their phone — no app or account needed.
Standard UK Stripe rates apply (1.5% + 20p for UK cards at the time of writing). Ovaro doesn't add any markup on top.
Payouts hit your bank account on the standard Stripe schedule — typically 2–3 working days after the customer pays.

Yes. We track VAT at 0%, 5% and 20% on both invoices and expenses, and produce VAT-period summaries you or your accountant can file.
No — you stay in control of submissions to HMRC. Ovaro makes the underlying data correct, categorised and ready, so filing (by you or your accountant) takes minutes instead of weeks.
