The intelligence layer
for accounting.

Conta Labs builds the AI agents that read, reconcile, and post journal entries — so accountants can spend their time where it matters: advising clients and growing the relationship.

Deployed inside
Deployed agents

Built for the operational layer of accounting.

Each agent completes a real task end-to-end — reading the document, making the entry, reconciling the line, drafting the message. Every action logged. Every decision auditable.

Agent · 01

Document Agent

Ingests every receipt, invoice, and document your clients send — WhatsApp photos, PDFs, scraped from Portal das Finanças — understands it and stores the extracted data in your chart of accounts. No templates. No rules to maintain. Works across formats and languages out of the box.

Reconciliation Agent

Matches bank statement lines to invoices, receipts, and supplier documents across multiple entities and currencies. Connects through PSD2 to read accounts directly; flags exceptions for the human accountant rather than guessing. The match logic is shown, not hidden.

Categorisation Agent

Learns your firm's historical posting logic, applies Portuguese tax rules (IVA, IRC, IRS) natively, and drafts journal entries ready to post into TOConline, Primavera, CentralGest or your software of choice. Every decision carries a natural-language rationale.

Client Feedback Agent

Handles the back-and-forth that eats half an accountant's day: chasing missing receipts, asking about a new vendor, confirming a category. Drafts in clear Portuguese (or English), waits for the human's approval, then sends. Closes loops without losing the relationship.

Deployed intelligence

Agents that work for you, inside your stack.

96%+ accuracy

Agents are only put into production once they clear our internal accuracy bar. Your team handles exceptions, not the bulk.

Faster close

Real-time reconciliation and posting. Books that used to take three weeks close in days.

Human-in-the-loop

Nothing posts without the accountant's review. The agent drafts. The human approves.

Full audit trail

Every agent action is logged with a natural-language rationale. Always audit-ready.

Built for your stack

A layer on top of your accounting software, not a replacement.

We don't compete with TOConline, Primavera, CentralGest or your ERP. We sit on top of them — reading documents, drafting entries, calling their APIs to post the work. Proof-of-concept in two weeks. Full integration in four.

Data & trust

Built for regulated work, from day one.

Your firm owns the data. Our models never train on it. Every action is auditable.

Your data, your control

Models never use your data for training. Customer data is logically segregated per firm and per entity.

European by default

Hosted in EU regions, run from Lisbon. Compliant with GDPR, AT obligations, and Portuguese accounting regulations.

Audit trail as the aesthetic

Every action by every agent has a timestamp, an input, an output, and a rationale. Inspect any decision.

We believe AI should work for accountants — so accountants can work for their clients.

Technology earns its place when it unlocks better client service. Our agents handle the operational layer end-to-end, with traceable reasoning, so the human team can spend their time where it matters.

Where we are

Lisbon, Portugal.

We start in Portuguese accounting reality — Portal das Finanças, SAF-T, IRS, IVA — and design from those constraints outward. That specificity is a feature, not a parochialism.

Careers

We're hiring senior engineers and operators.

A small team, deliberately senior. Engineers, accountants, and product designers sitting at the same table — building agents that complete real work for a regulated industry.

We are hiring engineers who would rather ship a working agent than write a paper about one. The accounting industry has been waiting for software that actually does the work. Help us be the team that delivers it.

What we're looking for

  • Senior AI / ML engineers Comfortable shipping agentic systems into production — evaluation harnesses, traces, the messy real-world edges.
  • Backend engineers Distributed systems, data pipelines, integrations into accounting software (TOConline, Primavera, CentralGest).
  • Product designers Who can design audit trails as carefully as marketing pages. We borrow more from aerospace dashboards than chatty AI products.
  • Accountants who understand tech (or want to) The domain expertise we need is rare in tech. If you've done the work and you can read a spec, we want to talk.

What it's like to work here

  • Lisbon, in person We're a small team that benefits from being in the same room. Hybrid for senior individual contributors with the right reason.
  • Real users from day one You ship to thousands of SMB clients running on 62W's accounting operation. Feedback is hours, not quarters.
  • Engineering-led Product decisions made by people who write code. No design-by-committee, no JIRA archaeology.
  • Top-of-market compensation We benchmark to the best tech companies, not to local accounting firms. Cash and equity for senior hires that respect the bar we're asking you to meet.

FAQ

Questions we get a lot.

What does Conta Labs actually build?
AI agents that handle the operational layer of accounting work — collecting documents from clients, reading them, reconciling bank lines, categorising transactions, drafting journal entries, and handling client back-and-forth. We license these agents to accounting firms, software vendors, and any organisation with an accounting-operations layer to automate.
Are you a separate company from 62W?
Conta Labs is part of the 62W group. 62W is our first and largest customer, but not our only one. 62W gives us a deep, real-world testing ground; the wider accounting market is where the technology earns its keep.
Do your agents replace TOConline / Primavera / CentralGest?
No. We sit on top of your accounting software, not in place of it. The agents do the operational work (read, reconcile, categorise, draft) and call your software's APIs to post the result. Statements, invoicing, and statutory filings stay where they are.
How autonomous are the agents?
By design, every meaningful action requires a human accountant's approval before it posts. The agent does the work and shows its reasoning; the accountant reviews and posts. That's how we get to 96%+ accuracy without sacrificing trust.
What about data privacy?
Customer data is logically segregated per firm and per entity, encrypted at rest and in transit, and hosted in EU regions. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications are in progress.
How long does deployment take?
Proof-of-concept in two weeks. Full integration in four. Most of that time is mapping your chart of accounts and posting logic; the agents themselves are already trained on Portuguese accounting reality.
