What’s the difference between Xolo and other providers?


Xolo is the most comprehensible solution for your PFA (Authorized Freelancer) business: we cover your needs from registration to reporting (and everything in between).

Xolo

  • All-in-one solution: an online platform combined with the best-in-class human support
  • Affordable fixed subscription
  • English-speaking local accountants
  • Built-in VAT tools for local and international clients

Other providers

  • Tools and services often scattered across multiple providers
  • Hourly or per-report pricing can lead to surprises
  • Finding reliable English-speaking support is challenging
  • Often no invoicing tool included so you’d have to manage your invoices in tools that are not optimized for that

A Persoană Fizică Autorizată (PFA) is a simple legal form in Romania that allows individuals to work as self-employed professionals. It’s ideal for freelancers, consultants, and expats who want to operate legally without opening a company. PFAs can issue invoices, sign contracts, and benefit from simplified accounting and lower setup costs, but they are personally liable for their business obligations.

Of course. At Xolo we have a commitment to every freelancer who chooses us.

For the Lite plan, you will be eligible for expert technical support when it comes to using Xolo’s online platform. 

For the Full plan, we offer comprehensive support. Unlike other online accounting services, Xolo will assign you an expert support specialist from the moment you sign up to take care of your case. No need to explain the same thing to 5 different people every time you need something.

Xolo is also the perfect option for those who are looking for a change of accounting service (you won't regret it, promise!).

We know that changes can be tricky (especially with providers that don't make it easy for you), so if you give us your consent we will take care of the transfer.



Xolo supports every step of your PFA (Authorized Freelancer) journey and we’ll be happy to help you with deregistration, should you opt for that.

Yes! Our team of English-speaking certified Romanian accountants specializes in supporting expats navigating the Romanian system.
