Bankeo and Lexstart: A partnership providing financial support for new business creations!

Quebec City, December 12, 2022 – Bankeo and Lexstart are proud to announce their partnership to make the Bankeo platform available to Lexstart users. Bankeo's mission is to boost the financial success of entrepreneurs by connecting them with their ideal accountant.

“Bankeo stands out because it simplifies the Lexstart user experience by giving them quick and free access to audited accountants, complementing our incorporation process,” emphasizes Simon Vanpeperstraete, CEO of Lexstart. This combination makes Bankeo a valuable ally for all entrepreneurs, who will no longer have to chase after an accountant to guide them from the very beginning of their business creation.

“Labor shortages and the challenges of digital transformation are making the accounting market increasingly inaccessible. It is therefore vital for startups to turn to a solution that allows them to find an accounting partner suited to their needs from the outset in order to increase the chances of success of their business project,” says Arnaud Bertrand, CEO and co-founder of Bankeo.  

“Accountants also need to use modern legal processes to help them in their daily work to keep their promises to their clients. The integration of Lexstart into Bankeo will make it easier for accountants to speed up processing and free up time to meet growing market demand,” says Brian Bergeron, co-founder of Bankeo.

Bankeo will be deployed directly on the Lexstart platform, from where entrepreneurs can connect with an accountant directly after their incorporation has been created.
