About Heru
Summary
Heru builds tax compliance software for Mexico's freelancers, gig workers, and SMEs, automating filings with the SAT, expense deductions, invoicing, and payment collection in a single app. It targets the roughly 14 million digital workers and small businesses that lack the accounting knowledge to manage Mexican tax obligations on their own, replacing the need for a traditional accountant or manual filing process.
Business model
A free first month followed by subscription plans tiered by tax regime (Plataformas Digitales, RESICO, Actividad Empresarial Plus), plus enterprise services for B2B clients.
Go-to-market
Gig workers and freelancers sign up self-serve through the app; enterprises and digital platforms are sold through a dedicated B2B channel covering payroll tax compliance and bulk invoicing for their workers.
