SoftBank Latin America Leads Series C Investment in Brazilian Fiscal and Accounting System Contabilizei

January 14, 2021
SoftBank Invests in Contabilizei

SoftBank Latin America led an undisclosed Series C in Contabilizei, a Brazilian a tax filing and accounting SaaS platform for Brazilian SMEs, with follow-on from KaszeK Ventures, Point72, Quona Capital, and IFC.  Point72 led a US$20m round in 2019. Igah Ventures (formerly e.Bricks Ventures) and Endeavor Catalyst invested in 2016; KaszeK Ventures invested in 2015. 

(LABS News) – Brazil’s Contabilizei, a startup that offers online accounting services, raised a Series C round led by SoftBank‘s Latin America Fund, also an investor of Creditas, QuintoAndar, MadeiraMadeira (which became the country’s newest unicorn after a round led SoftBank), and Banco Inter. The value of the round was not disclosed.

Kaszek, Point72, Quona, and the World Bank (IFC), who were already investors in the company, also participated in the round. The investment aims to expand the startup’s offer. Contabilizei says that its mission is to democratize the access of small and medium-sized companies to the startup‘s accounting service, helping Brazilian entrepreneurs to reduce costs with bureaucracy. The startup’s cheapest plan costs BRL 89 monthly.

Since 2016, the platform has been doubling in size every year, reaching the end of 2020 with 30,000 corporate customers.

“We will start to offer services such as account and payroll management,” Torres told Reuters.

“We see in Contabilizei a complete service (range) that still has lots of potential to grow and offer new solutions. There are a large number of Brazilian freelancers and entrepreneurs who, in addition to reducing costs by migrating to this new model, need help to organize (their businesses) and grow,” added Carlos Medeiros, SoftBank partner, in a press statement.
