What ACONTIS does

ACONTIS (legal entity: Asesorias Contables del Caribe S.A.S.) is a Colombian family-owned professional services firm founded in 1991 in Cartagena by Guido Presutti, operating as a privately held S.A.S. with no external institutional investors. The firm delivers a horizontal advisory portfolio spanning audit and assurance (including statutory revisoría fiscal, internal audit, IFRS audits, and due diligence), accounting BPO (payroll, treasury, accounting coaching), tax advisory and compliance, financial advisory (valuation, investment project analysis, foreign investment guidance), and legal/business solutions (company constitution, contracts, trademark registration, labor support), plus specialized occupational health (SST) and road safety (PESV) advisory. Its core technology layer is an online service portal that enables remote delivery of engagements alongside traditional in-person consulting at its Cartagena headquarters and Barranquilla regional office.

The business model is professional services revenue: quote-based engagements priced per client requirement, with multi-year contract cadences typical for statutory audit and outsourced accounting mandates. Go-to-market is sales-led and B2B, combining direct field sales at office locations, an inbound WhatsApp quote channel, educational content marketing across accounting/tax/legal/audit/SST blogs, and organic social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram) to reach Colombian business entities. The customer base spans 12+ business sectors — including chambers of commerce, logistics, fishing clubs, healthcare, and industrial groups — with named engagements such as Cámara de Comercio de Cartagena, LINKGROUP, Martinez Caballero, Cartagens Solutions, Polymar, Club de Pesca, Grupo M, Avanzas, and Escanografía Bocagrande. Operations are run by a 90+ strong interdisciplinary team of titled advisors across three offices and five cities in the Colombian Caribbean region.
