18 SaaS Startups in the Accounting Industry

January 24, 2023

SaaS startups have become the darling of Venture Capital investors, especially in the Accounting industry. Over the past decade, software has proverbially “eaten the world” and SaaS companies have scaled to become unicorn corporations in staggering amounts of time.

In this article, we are examining 18 VC funded SaaS startups in the Accounting industry.

Blockpit GmbH

A cross-platform monitoring tool created by Blockpit is aimed at both businesses and individual cryptocurrency traders. This makes it possible to calculate taxable cryptocurrency revenue in a straightforward manner and for tax advisers to accept the tax return. Taxes on gains are frequently unknown to cryptocurrency traders. It is challenging to maintain track of the individual deals while trading often. This is mostly due to the need that every transaction, including those using cryptocurrency, be assessed as a taxable event. It will be challenging to offer a declaration or proof later if the tax office asks for it. Where Blockpit's software can be useful is in this situation. All sources of revenue are automatically logged and a clear log is produced by the monitoring platform. Each and every transaction is imported, ensuring daily record of every exchange. The customer also receives information on taxable earnings and speculating windows, as well as a summary of the evolution of his portfolio.
