It states that it has registered more than 23,000 companies and keeps the books for over 2,500 clients, with accountants accredited by the national professional body CECCAR. The service flow starts with choosing between an SRL and a sole-proprietor PFA, continues through document preparation and filing at the trade registry, and moves on to ongoing bookkeeping, invoicing and later amendments to company data. Everything is managed through a client app with a dedicated accountant reachable by chat. The audience is mainly Romanian-speaking founders, freelancers and small online businesses such as e-commerce, IT and creative professionals.
