Granconta's History

  • 1980Fondation

    Granconta was incorporated on June 19, 1980. The registered office was at Av. João Crisóstomo and the share capital was 100,000 escudos (500€). At that time, a used accounting machine was acquired (which worked with magnetic cards) and, with a portfolio of 20 customers, some of whom are still with us, the business took off. As for the initial technical resources, it is unavoidable to talk about Regisconta, a company that dominated the office equipment sector in the 1980s. Theirs was the Philips P320 accounting machine, bought used in 1979 for 375,000 escudos (just over €2,000 at today), however, replaced by StepOne, something similar to a computer that we still have today.

  • 1981Capital increase

    On this date, and to meet investment needs, the share capital increased fivefold, to 500,000 escudos. Over the years, the customers who were with us in the foundation have been modernized and it is with deep pride that we quote them, in no particular order, with the names they have today:
    A2P Engineering Studies and Projects
    GRID International Consulting Engineering
    Pereira da Laurentina restaurant
    ApresençaParis 
    Dutlarte – Commerce of electrical appliances
    Pinto Cabeleireiros Lda (by Joaquim Pinto)
    Forwarding agent Fernando Almeida Nogueira
    Vimúsica Music and Sound
    To all of them, but to these in particular, we are grateful for the trust they have always placed in us.

  • 1990New Member entry and changing facilities

    Paulo Almeida joined the company. IT has been profoundly upgraded and we changed our facilities to Rua José Falcão.

  • 1997Facilities change

    Moving facilities to Rua da Esperança, taking advantage of the opportunity for another equipment renovation.

  • 2010Accounting Standardization System (SNC)

    With the replacement of POC by SNC, (Accounting Standardization System) we proceeded to acquire new IT solutions, investing in equipment and programs.

    Rosa Tavares, who joined Granconta in 2008, delivers a fundamental contribution.

  • 2017 A year of new transformations

    This year marks a new phase in Granconta’s modernization.

    This is the year in which we renewed our IT for the actual solution package, starting to use TocOnline to process our clients' accounts. Márcio Lopes (who joined the team the previous year) plays a fundamental role here. We renovated our website and moved to our current facilities in Algés.

  • 2022Digital Economy and new management

    As a result of profound legislative changes, it is now possible to replace paper documentation with digital documentation. Granconta is at the forefront of digital transformation.

    It is the year in which the two founding partners of Granconta give up their places to Rosa Tavares and Márcio Lopes, who thus join the management of Granconta.

  • 2023Human Resources area

    With Bernardo's arrival, Granconta strengthened its responsiveness in the HR area, in career management in accordance with ACT’s and boosting the digital dimension of communication.
