Contador

What Contador does

Contador is a privately held Romanian accounting and business consulting firm headquartered in Iași, operating since 2010 under the legal entity CONTADOR.RO SRL. The firm delivers outsourced accounting, payroll/HR, company formation, trade register (ONRC) assistance, business consulting and legal advisory services to a primarily SMB client base in Northeast Romania, including SRL companies, PFA/II/IF self-employed entities, ONGs and early-stage startups. It employs 14 experts and reports a base of 400+ partner clients across diverse industries (e-commerce, veterinary, mobile, IT/software, agriculture). Pricing is monthly and negotiated per scope of work rather than via published tiers, and the go-to-market is sales-led direct consultation through phone, email and website channels.

The firm's core technology is a proprietary mobile application — Contador App — available on iOS and Android, which centralizes client document exchange, integrates with Romania's e-Factura system for SPV invoice transmission, and generates reports containing over 40 financial indicators. The app functions as a client-facing workflow and reporting layer on top of the firm's manual/standardized accounting operations, with payment processing handled via PlatiOnline and recommended accounting software integrations (Oblio, SmartBill, Nexus, FGO). The business model blends subscription/recurring monthly accounting fees with project-based professional services revenue (formation, consulting, payroll), supported by a referral-driven, direct-sales channel mix and no external institutional capital.
