Fairo is a financial app, designed to make life easier for freelancers. With just a few clicks, Fairo helps you sort out everything related to invoices, invoice payment tracking, and taxes - all you need to manage your company’s finances. Whether you're a PFA, PFI, or SRL, you only need your phone and an internet connection to take full advantage of Fairo.
It's really easy and quick: download the app and register your email address. Then all you need is your TAX ID. Fairo will find you in the ANAF database and fill in your other information automatically. Once you sign up, you'll be using the GO plan and all its benefits for free. Want more? Upgrade to RUN and you get all the good stuff. How? You'll find the Upgrade button right in the app, no need to go anywhere else.
Step 1: Don't stress about it. It can happen to anyone.
Step 2: Reset it in the app. You only need your email address. Technology's got your back!
The app is available to anyone with an Android 5.0 or iOS 11.0 operating system or their later versions. But don't worry, the second you enter the app store, you'll get a version of the app suitable for your phone.
You guessed it: in the app. And we promise you'll find it easier than ever!
1. Open the app.
2. Enter the TAX ID of the client you want to invoice, and the rest of the information will be filled in automatically from the ANAF database.
3. Choose the payment date and the account you want the payment to go to.
4. Add the items you're invocing your client for.
5. Generate and send your invoice to the client via email or WhatsApp.
6. Relax, that was all.
You can issue invoices in RON, EUR and USD. So all your clients, local or foreign, are happy.
Yes of course! You can download them all. A PDF version of each invoice created through Fairo will be available in the app.
Of course! It's always good to double-check how many zeros you've added. You can see your invoice before you send it to your client or before you download it to your phone as a PDF file.
At the moment we only support non VAT invoicing. You can create an invoice for another freelancer, business or private individual. We even help you create invoices for your international needs.
Yes of course! Fairo loves to help your business grow beyond Romanian borders. Thus, we support invoicing in foreign currencies, EUR and USD, not just LEI.
The Fairo app comes in Romanian or English.
It's true, we might joke around every now and then, but we take ourselves very seriously when it comes to security. Fairo is a part of the Raiffeissen Bank International Group. Its processes follow the same security standards as the rest of the group.Not only do we follow all the current rules set by the group, but also the Romanian Law on Personal Data Protection.
Of course! But don't take our word for it, let's explain to you why!To protect your profile, we use two-tier security architecture: Secure login data consists of a personal email and Passcode. The e-mail address is used during registration and is verified by you. The passcode confirmation follows after successfully connecting your smartphone with your profile. The first thing you do is set up a Passcode. You can then change it in the app yourself. Every time you use the app you enter the Passcode known only by you.
FairoSync is a smart feature that connects invoices with payments, so you can keep up with your paid, unpaid, or late invoices.You just need to connect your bank accounts to the app and it will automatically let you know when your invoices get paid. Plus, you can see all your other banking transactions in the app, as well.
It's 100% safe and secure, being just "view-only", meaning that it can't make any transactions in your name (even you can't use it for that either).
If you haven't tried it yet, upgrade to RUN and enjoy all the extra FairoSync benefits.
Simply because it makes it easier to have everything in one place. With FairoSync, you're always up-to-date with all your paid invoices and can track any late payments.
You'll get a notification whenever a client pays an invoice sent through Fairo, so you know when to pop the champagne. Same when there's any late payment, so you can start sending them "kind reminders".
Plus, soon you'll be able to do generate your tax reports straight from the app. This way you get to manage your finances way easier with the new features we're cooking up for you.

Our tax calculator was designed to help PFAs and PFIs calculate their taxes easier than ever. With just a few clicks, you can calculate your income tax, and even the social insurance and health insurance contributions that need to be paid.
You'll find the advanced tax calculations helpful if you're a PFA and PFI and have additional income besides your freelance activity, e.g. rental, stock & cryptocurrency, income from abroad, company associations, dividends, intellectual properties/royalties and more.
Compared to the standard tax calculator, our advanced tax calculator can take all this information into account in calculations. Also, if you're a PFA on the flat rate and you need to find out your tax adjustment rate, our advanced tax calculation option can help with that.
If you like to use our advanced tax calculations, you can simply upgrade from our free plan to our paid plan (RUN) directly in the app. The option to get advanced calculation will become available to you immediately.
The tax calculator does not include the unique declaration but covers the majority of cases including the additional incomes and tax adjustments and calculates the tax due.
Our tax calculation functionalities will help you estimate your taxes based on the information you input, but they will not report the results to ANAF.
The calculations are based on the data that you provide Fairo with. Fairo does not provide tax consultancy services.
Fairo can help you calculate your taxable income but it's up to you to understand your deductibles.
There is no limit for the amount of calculations that you can do with Fairo based on the plan you subscribed to.
Any PFA whose business activity (CAEN) is eligible for application of tax norm. You can access the calculator directly in the app by selecting the option for flat rate calculation.
We will do that for you. When applying for flat rate based calculation, we will automatically check the data we have about you to see if your business activity is eligible or not.
No stress, we will find it out for you automatically.
You can get the calculations for one business activity only, which you select in the app. If you want to get complete calculation for all of your business activities, let us know and we will help you.
Some of the business activities (CAENs) apply to different business areas. To identify the correct tax norm we need to ask you to specify your business field.
We probably do not have sufficient data to identify the norm. Please check your business profile and see if you have the correct address and the CAEN code set up.
It's used when goods are returned because they don't meet their description mentioned in the order/contract or the client's expectations. The storno invoice is a separate new invoice and should follow the invoice series number in use.
Go to the original invoice detail and you can either click on "Cancel invoice" on the bottom part or choose the "Storno" option from the actions available for the invoice management.
The original invoice is linked to the storno invoice and is available whenever you need it.
No, for now, you can only cancel / storno the full invoice. We're working on making bringing you storno soon.
Of course! After creating it, just go to the storno invoice detail and click on the "Export" icon in the top right corner and pick whichever option you want.
It wouldn't make much sense, would it? :) The rule is that a cash receipt has to be always connected with an invoice.
Yes, of course! You can add as many cash receipts as you want! Just use the "Add receipt" button (it's on the top of your receipt list).
Yes, you can click on the "Edit" button in the receipt details and change the number/series.
Yes, you can. Just find the three dots at the top of the screen of the cash receipt detail and you can make it disappear. Poof!
No, but you can delete it and create a new one. We won't tell anyone ;)
After creating it, you can preview and print the receipt or send it through your favourite channel - for example, as an email attachment.
Right now there's no option for you as a user to remove the QR code from the invoice. But that shouldn't bother you, because the QR code payment is purely optional - meaning that your client can still choose to pay "the old fashioned way", by filling in the payment details manually.
Based on the testing performed by our team, all the bank which are under SEPA system can read the QR code. Same goes for the Romanian market - if the feature is supported by the Fairo app, all banks can read the QR code.
Once you have connected transactions in “All transactions,” you must categorize them. First, go through the transaction list and assign a tax label to the business transactions you want to include in your Smart Bookkeeping. After selecting the label, click on the yellow arrow in the top left corner of the screen. That redirects you to your Smart Bookkeeping home screen, where you can see all categorized transactions.
Other way how to add transaction is to create one manually directly from the Smart bookkeeping homescreen with the option "Create transaction". Such a transaction can be then edited or deleted.
We designed Smart Bookkeeping, especially for freelancers who use the real income taxation system, but also for the other freelancer groups. With this innovative feature, any freelancer can benefit from having more control and clarity over their business finances.
You can access the complete Smart Bookkeeping feature by upgrading to RUN Fairo plan. If you have already upgraded your account, then Smart Bookkeeping costs nothing extra.
Of course, you can. If you're using GO plan, you have seven days to test and see, for free, how Smart Bookkeeping works. Once the seven days trial expires, we save all your activity, but you will not be able to use this feature anymore. Nevertheless, you can always upgrade to RUN package and continue using Smart Bookkeeping.
Access the Smart Bookkeeping feature by clicking "Bookkeeping" in the app bottom bar. Keep in mind that you have to have your bank account connected through FairoSync to use it. When your account is linked, we show you all your transactions in the Bookkeeping section within the screen "All transactions." This section works as a transaction "pool" from which you can pick the transaction you want to see in Smart Bookkeeping.
Yep, you can connect as many RON accounts as you want. After that, you will find all transactions from all your linked accounts in the "All transactions" section.
Currently, we accept only RON accounts.
Once we introduced the Smart Bookkeeping feature, we changed some items from the bottom bar. "Accounts" item, the direct option to your connected accounts, was replaced by "Bookkeeping." You can also Access your connected bank accounts by clicking Profile -> Bank accounts.
It's your choice which linked accounts should appear in your Smart Bookkeeping. Disable the bank accounts you don't want to see by clicking "Account settings" and then switching off the "See in Bookkeeping" option. Related transactions will not be visible in Smart Bookkeeping anymore from that moment on. But remember, you will be able to see them in "Account detail."
Once you have connected transactions in “All transactions,” you must categorize them. First, go through the transaction list and assign a tax label to the business transactions you want to include in your Smart Bookkeeping. After selecting the label, click on the yellow arrow in the top left corner of the screen. That redirects you to your Smart Bookkeeping home screen, where you can see all categorized transactions.
The first thing you have to know about tax categories is that they make your life easier and prepare you for the tax declaration season. They help you sort your business transactions and choose whether your income is taxable and your expenses deductible (or partially). Categorize your business transactions by selecting a label from the transaction detail or directly from the transaction list by swiping left on the transaction.
Yep, you can remove a selected label from the transaction detail. Or you can also do that by swiping right on the transaction. Once you remove the selected category, you will find the transaction as not categorized in the "All transactions" section. If the transaction was already part of Bookkeeping, you would no longer see it after removing the category.
Manually added transactions cannot be unlabeled. If you want to remove them from Smart bookkeeping, you will need to delete the transaction. You can do that by swiping over the transaction to the right or accessing the transaction details.
No, for the moment, the only way to add transactions into your Smart Bookkeeping is by adding them from connected accounts. But stay tuned; we're working on that, and soon, you will be able to use the add transaction manually option.
The only way to categorize your transactions is to go one by one. But we're working on that. So soon, you will be able to manage more transactions at once.
For now, you will see a basic overview graph on your Smart Bookkeeping home screen. Based on your categorized transactions, the chart presents the outcome of your activity. For example, taxable income shows the sum of all your income selected as “taxable,” and deductible expenses show the sum of the expenses you can deduct from the taxable income for your final tax purposes. W
ith Smart Bookkeeping, you can also see your real time tax calculations and your total income after taxes. To switch among different statistics you need to swipe over the graph on the Smart bookkeeping homescreen.

We will keep you updated. From the moment you create a Fairo account, you'll receive a link from us every month with an overview of your activity and the amount of FaiRONs you have collected. So please check the link you received from info@email.fairoapp.com, which will lead to your page where you see your current FaiRON balance.
You automatically collected FaiRONs by performing several actions in the app. For instance, you receive 1 FaiRON each day you log in to the app, or you receive FaiRONs when issuing invoices, etc. If you want to see the complete list of all the actions that bring you FaiRONs, open this link.
FaiRONs are the points we use to reward freelancers who simplify their lives with our app. For many actions in the app, you automatically collect FaiRONs. For instance, if you log in, you receive 1 FaiRON. When you issue an invoice, you receive 30 FaiRONs. After you collect a proper amount of points, you can use these FaiRONs to get rewards that help your business.
The Fairo Club is the space where we reward freelancers for simplifying their lives with Fairo. The rule is simple: the more you use Fairo, the more FaiRONs you receive. So technically, you are rewarded every time you take care of your business finances with the Fairo app. As a Fairo customer, you automatically have the chance to join the Fairo Club and turn your collected FaiRON points into benefits for your business. Once you are a Fairo customer, our team will email you further information about the Fairo Club and a link to see your current FairRON balance.
As required by Romanian law, the bookkeeping needs to be held in domestic currency. For that reason we convert foreign currency transactions into RON using the NBR exchange rate valid for the previous day prior the settlement date of the transaction.
The Inventory Register is another mandatory report completing the full stack bookkeeping. In this report, you should keep the values of fixed assets, stocks, receivables, and other items related to your business at the end of each year. For instance, you need to keep this register if you would like to deduct your taxes when you buy a new phone or laptop at a price higher than 2,500 lei, as such purchases cannot be deducted once.
Click on the "..." option on the top right corner of your Smart Bookkeeping home page and select the option "Inventory." In this section, you can add any item you need.
This is the actual value of the item/asset kept in the Inventory Register by the end of the reported year.
No, at this moment, you can only add a new item stating its name, value, and description without any further specifications.
Yes, you can generate an XLS report fulfilling the requirements.
There is currently no dependency between what you enter into the Inventory Register and what is being kept in Smart Bookkeeping. If there are, e.g., any transactions you would like to record in your bookkeeping as a result of inventory write-off, you need to create the transaction manually in Smart Bookkeeping.
