Getting started

This chapter takes you from sign-up to a sent invoice. It takes a few minutes and no accounting knowledge.

Create your account

1. Sign up with your email.
2. Enter your business ID — Olvano fills in your company name, address, and VAT number from your national business register.
3. Review the billing details and save.

Set up before your first invoice

• Number series — the format of your invoice numbers (e.g. 2026-0001). A default is ready; tweak it if you like.
• Bank account — the account used for QR payments and matching.
• Logo — upload it for a branded look on your documents.

Your first invoice

1. Add a client (again, a business ID is enough).
2. Fill in line items — Olvano calculates VAT and the total.
3. Save and hit Send.

The invoice goes out by email with a QR payment attached. Once the client pays, the payment reconciles itself.

Early tips

• Billing the same clients? Set up recurring invoices.
• Want peace of mind on receivables? Turn on automatic reminders.
• Working with a team? Invite colleagues and assign them roles.
