We help Accountants automate work and serve their customers online

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a SaaS tailored for accountants in Mexico that automates bookkeeping and helps them serve clients online. Our product lets accountants do bookkeeping five times faster by simplifying tasks that used to take hours of manual entry.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Monterrey, N.L., Mexico, and the company will remain based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Mexican accountants face unique challenges around local tax and bookkeeping regulations. Being close to our users in Monterrey keeps us connected to their needs and allows us to adapt faster than if we moved elsewhere.
