Problem
Freelancers and app workers often struggle with the complexities of tax management, including tracking income and expenses, generating invoices, and complying with ever-changing fiscal regulations. Manually managing these tasks can be time-consuming, error-prone, and lead to penalties for late or inaccurate filings. Many independent workers lack the accounting expertise to optimize their tax obligations and maximize deductions.
Solution
Heru provides a virtual accounting platform designed to automate tax management for freelancers, independent contractors, and app-based workers in Mexico. The platform enables users to issue electronic invoices, track income and expenses, and generate accurate tax declarations. By connecting to the SAT (Servicio de Administración Tributaria), Heru automatically identifies income and expense invoices, calculates taxes due, and facilitates the filing of monthly and annual returns. Heru offers various subscription plans tailored to different income levels and business activities, including specialized support for those in the RESICO (Régimen Simplificado de Confianza) and technology platform regimes.
Target Audience
Heru targets freelancers, independent contractors, app-based workers (e.g., Rappi, Uber, Didi), and small business owners in Mexico who need a simplified solution for managing their taxes and complying with SAT regulations.
