A report from TechCrunch reports that Sequoia Capital India served as the lead investor in the company, and that Saison Capital, January Capital, Founderbank Capital, Cambium Grove, and Endeavor Catalyst also participated in the company.
The funds will be used by BukuKas to increase user acquisition, expand their engineering team, and bring out new products as a result of the funds.
In the short-term, the FinTech company is planning on expanding to other parts of Southeast Asia as well, but in the short-term it is focusing on the Indonesian market for SME’s.
With the help of BukuKas, small and micro businesses can get a cloud accounting solution that fits their needs. Through their mobile devices, customers can access digital bookkeeping to record their sales, expenses, and cash transactions in real-time.
The dashboards of the software allow users to manage all of their invoices, calculate stock, produce income statements and report summaries of invoices, as well as a lot more.
