The story

Founded 2021 by serial fintech founder Jorge Vargas Neto (previously Zen Finance, sold to Rappi; Biva, sold to PagSeguro) as a full back-office SaaS — bookkeeping, CFO, legal and HR — for LatAm startups and SMBs. Grew rapidly on VC funding into an AI-powered accounting + financial BPO platform reaching ~20M ARR and 7,000+ clients. In 2023–2025 pivoted from pure startup back-office toward becoming a vertical accounting ecosystem via acquisitions (Agrocontar in agribusiness, Quality Associados in third sector) and joint ventures (SERAC), positioning itself as a full ecosystem ahead of Brazil's IBS/CBS tax reform.
