Turbotax for Mexico and LATAM — automated tax filing and accounting for small businesses
HQ: San Pedro Garza Garcia, Nuevo Leon, Mexico | Founded: 2019 | Employees: 29 | Stage: Seed | Website: https://www.konta.com
About
Konta.com is a cloud-based tax filing and accounting platform designed for freelancers, self-employed individuals, and micro-enterprises in Mexico. Founded in 2019 by Jose Antonio Menendez and Pablo Icaza (formerly known as Buho Contable), the company leverages SaaS and artificial intelligence to automate complex tax compliance processes — including monthly and annual ISR (Income Tax) returns, IVA (Value Added Tax) filings, and CFDI electronic invoice generation — in full compliance with SAT (Servicio de Administracion Tributaria) regulations. The platform combines automated tax calculation software with access to expert accountants, enabling business owners to complete tasks that traditionally take days with a conventional accountant in under five minutes per month. Core features include SAT synchronization via CIEC credentials, automated invoice download and classification, electronic invoicing, payroll calculation, fiscal status monitoring (Visor Fiscal), and real-time financial dashboards. Konta launched its AI assistant (Konta IA) in December 2025 to further streamline tax management through conversational prompts.
The Take
Konta.com is a Mexican fintech that combines AI-driven tax automation software with access to certified accountants, serving freelancers and small businesses with ISR, IVA, and CFDI compliance — a TurboTax-like experience for Mexico's fragmented SME accounting market.
