6 min · Updated 7/26/2026

Step 1: Organization details

Go to Settings → Organization and complete the legal name, trade name, tax ID, official email, and phone number.

Confirm with your accountant that the economic activity matches the activity used in your records.

  • Legal name and trade name
  • Tax ID and tax ID type
  • Official email for notifications

Step 2: Try real evidence

Upload a readable receipt image or PDF and compare the draft with the original document.

The current offer does not require a .p12 certificate because Kontafico does not sign or submit documents to DGT.

Step 3: Chart of accounts and cost centers

Kontafico includes an IFRS chart of accounts for Costa Rica. You can customize it in Accounting → Chart of accounts.

Create cost centers to separate expenses by branch, project, or area.

Step 4: Users and permissions

Invite your accountant and team in Settings → Users. Assign roles based on responsibilities.

Recommended: owner (management), accountant, staff (operations).

Step 5: Save your first draft

Go to Invoicing, create a commercial draft, and review the client, products, and payment method. Issue the official document with your fiscal provider.
