Conta

Conta is a cloud accounting service from Conta AS in Ålesund, Norway. It is built for Norwegian sole proprietorships (ENK) and small limited companies (AS), whether or not they use an accountant. The core Conta Regnskap product covers bookkeeping with unlimited vouchers, invoicing, and EHF and eFaktura e-invoicing. It also includes bank reconciliation and a VAT return that is pre-filled from the books and signed with BankID. Users can invite their accountant or auditor into the same ledger. An AI assistant called Kaia guides users through the system, though Conta warns that its answers should be checked. Pricing is billed annually, with no monthly-billing option shown. Standard costs 209 kr per month and Smart costs 339 kr per month, both excluding VAT. Smart adds unlimited EHF, KID numbers, project and department tracking, and phone and chat support. A Pro edition for accounting firms is invite-only for now. Paid add-ons include direct bank payment of bills at 79 kr per month and Timerabbit time tracking. A third-party app syncs Shopify orders and payouts. The main limitation is that payroll and annual accounts were still marked as coming soon when we checked, so limited companies with employees need another tool for now. Reviewers also object to paying a full year upfront and say Standard customers get email-only support.
