Building better tools for recurring finance work

Cointab originally started as a peer-to-peer payments product used by more than a million registered users.

As transaction volumes grew, reconciling data across internal systems, payment partners, banks, and operational reports became increasingly difficult.

Spreadsheets worked — until the volume and complexity made the process slow, fragile, and difficult to review.

The reconciliation problem we experienced firsthand eventually became the product opportunity.

We pivoted Cointab from peer-to-peer payments into Transaction Reconciliation software, helping finance teams turn recurring matching processes into structured, reusable workflows.

Instead of rebuilding reconciliation in Excel every period, teams could configure the logic once, run it repeatedly, and focus on exceptions.

As we worked with more finance teams, the same pattern kept appearing beyond transaction reconciliation:

Collect data → Clean it → Apply logic → Review → Prepare output → Repeat

Account reconciliation, management reporting, and other recurring finance processes were often still dependent on spreadsheets, shared folders, email follow-ups, and repeated manual work.

Today, Cointab is expanding beyond Transaction Reconciliation with Account Reconciliation and Reports.

The processes may be different. The underlying problem is often the same: finance teams repeatedly rebuilding work that should be reusable.
