Kontist by Shine, founded in 2016, is a prominent player in the Fintech and Banking industries. Headquartered in Germany, the company is dedicated to simplifying financial complexities for freelancers and small enterprises like UG, GbR, and GmbH.
Their slogan, "Banking & Buchhaltung für Solo-Selbständige und kleine Unternehmen, wie UG, GbR, GmbH", highlights their tailored approach to financial services. The company operates under the belief that freelancers will reshape the future of work.

In a strategic move to enhance their capabilities, Ageras made an acquisition investment in Kontist on 01 July 2022. This investment is indicative of growing interest in the freelancer-focused financial solutions space and underscores Kontist's potential as a key innovator in this nascent market.
