Be out here. Not on your books.

OarBook does your bookkeeping as a conversation. It books what's clear, asks only what it can't know, and you answer in your own words.

Your weekend, back. OarBook keeps the books.

How it works

Drop it in. Answer in words. Done.

1

Drop it in

Statements from your bank, supplier invoices, slips: PDF or a photo. In South Africa, link your bank and statements come in by themselves.

2

OarBook books and thinks

It knows the hardware store from the café, your small buys from your fuel, and what you told it last month.

3

You answer in your words

One sentence can answer six questions. It remembers, so next month there are fewer.

What it does

Everything a business keeps, in one place

OarBook answering whether the company is registered for VAT, with Yes, the number and the date

Ask it anything

"Are we registered for VAT?" Yes or No first, then the proof.

Invoices that get paid

Your logo, your design, sent in one tap. Payments match themselves.

OarBook showing when the EMP201 is due and what is paid

Never miss a deadline
