The problem

Five apps to run one project β€” and still no idea what you cleared.

The pain was never not knowing your profit. It's how hectic reconciling payments across banks, invoices and payouts is β€” every single month.

The month-end spreadsheet grind

Client payments in one bank app, contractor payouts in another, tool costs in a third. Every month you rebuild the same per-project earnings report by hand.

Profit you can't pin down

You win a client, outsource to a designer and a dev, pay for hosting β€” then pinning down what you actually cleared means hours of matching payments across banks by hand.

WhatsApp chaos

β€œAny update?” Clients living in your DMs, unapproved deliverables, and manual invoices you have to remember to chase down for the final balance.

The fix

Everything runs on the project.

The team, the work and the money all attach to one project β€” so reconciliation stops being a separate job, and profit is just there.

1

Price the job β€” see the margin before you send

Build the quote right on the project: set the client price and your real cost per line β€” contractor fees, tools, hosting β€” and Owena shows your margin the instant you type it. Turn it into an invoice with deposit or installments in a click. You never quote blind again.

Source & run the team β€” in one place, not WhatsApp

Assign your contractors to the project, share the brief and files, and track deliverables and the timeline together. Each contractor sees only their slice β€” never your margin or another's rate, and your client never sees it's outsourced. Updates live on the project, so β€œany update?” answers itself.

Pay the team β€” milestones & advances, you stay in control

Set advances and milestones the way your contractors actually work. Send the money from your own bank and confirm in one tap β€” the cost books itself, reconciled to the right project.

See what you made β€” the payoff, not a chore

Connect your bank (read-only) or upload a statement, and Owena matches every payment to its project β€” you approve in one tap, and fees or shortfalls are caught instead of silently vanishing. True profit per project and per month is just there. Earn in USD, spend in NGN on the same project: each currency keeps its own ledger, and conversions are recorded at the rate you actually got β€” never blended at a made-up rate.

The honest comparison

β€œA spreadsheet is free. There are apps for this.”

Both true β€” and both leave your margin leaking. A spreadsheet can't reconcile; the all-in-one apps put your team behind a client portal and still don't match your bank. Here's how they stack up.

β€œApps” = all-in-one CRM/PSA suites like CRM Africa, Scoro, Agiled & Avaza. β€œPart” = possible, but manual or client-exposing.

Owena is the only one that turns the hectic reconciliation into true profit per project β€” without a client portal, and without ever holding your money.

The roadmap

The rest of the workspace, rolling out

Reconciliation & invoicing ship first; the full command center fills in from there. Founding partners unlock each piece early β€” and steer the order.

Soon

Contractor workspace

Contractors see only their assigned projects β€” across all your clients β€” and chat with the team. Clients never know it's outsourced.

Soon

Project board & tasks

Auto-generated tasks per project, a Kanban board, and deliverables β€” so delivery lives right next to the money.

Soon

The optional Owena wallet

Receive client payments and send one-tap team payouts from an optional wallet β€” funds always with a licensed payment partner, never Owena. Join the interest list inside the app to shape who gets it first.

Soon

Sales pipeline & follow-ups

Track leads to won, with timely β€œyour balance is due” reminders at exactly the right moment.

Soon

Dashboards & trends

Agency-wide profit over time, by client and by month β€” the bird's-eye view beyond a single project.

Soon

Recurring opex & team roles

Track subscriptions automatically, and add staff + an accountant who each see exactly the right slice.

FAQ

Questions, answered

No β€” and that's by design. You pay from your own bank exactly as you do today, confirm in one tap, and Owena books the cost to the right project. Your funds never sit with Owena. (An optional one-tap wallet is coming with a licensed payment partner β€” there's an interest list inside the app.)
