Contaro

Solo businesses in Austria usually end up stitching their admin together from a spreadsheet, an invoicing tool, a folder of receipt photos, and an accountant who has to make sense of all three. Contaro replaces that patchwork with a single workflow built specifically for freelancers and the self-employed. Invoices are created and sent from the same place expenses are recorded, time is tracked against work, and reports are generated — so the numbers you look at are always current rather than reconstructed at quarter-end. The AI layer does the tedious part: upload or photograph a receipt or supplier invoice and it extracts the relevant fields automatically, cutting out manual data entry that quietly eats hours every month. Taro, the in-product assistant, sits alongside that to answer questions about your data and help you find what you need without digging through menus. Because it is designed around Austrian solo-business requirements rather than adapted from a generic international product, the defaults and reporting fit local practice. A free plan and a 14-day Pro trial make it low-risk to test against however you handle your books today.
