Fintura, a South African startup founded in 2024 by accountant Bernice Houy and built with CRO Reece Bailey, is pitching an all-in-one AI accounting and compliance workflow platform tailored to African firms rather than retrofitted global tools. Operating first in South Africa, it is integrating core regulatory rails CIPC, SARS, and the Department of Labour so practices can handle onboarding, deadline management, statutory submissions, document generation, and (next) major tax filings from a single system, with an AI assistant supporting day-to-day compliance work.
The business signal is that โplatform consolidationโ is becoming the moat in professional-services software: firms currently stitching together four to six tools face duplicated work, missed deadlines, and weak audit trails, so a unified stack can win on time saved and lower operational risk, not just features. Fintura says it is seeing 20% month-on-month growth, has had users onboard over 2,000 client organizations onboard, is angel-backed, and is positioning for a seed round next year while laying expansion tracks for markets such as Kenya and Ghana
