Vertex acquires Brinta Just 3 Years After Launch, Marking One of LatAm’s Fastest Fintech Exits
Vertex acquired Brinta in March 2026 after the Latin American fintech rapidly expanded across the region with a tax compliance platform designed for complex regulatory environments.
Vertex strengthened its position in Latin America after acquiring Brinta in March 2026, marking one of the fastest fintech exits in the region. Founded by Michel Golffed and Rodrigo Sánchez Prandi in 2023, Brinta scaled quickly by tackling one of the biggest operational challenges for businesses in Latin America: tax complexity.
In just three years, the company evolved from an emerging startup into a strategic technology provider capable of operating across highly fragmented regulatory systems.
Brinta turned Latin America’s tax complexity into a growth opportunity
Michel Golffed and Rodrigo Sánchez Prandi launched Brinta with the goal of simplifying tax operations for companies navigating multiple regulatory frameworks across Latin America. Their strategy focused on transforming a structural challenge into a scalable technology opportunity.
A major milestone came in 2024, when the company expanded into Brazil. Entering the region’s most complex tax environment became a defining moment for Brinta, allowing the startup to validate its technology under demanding conditions.
The move also increased the company’s visibility and credibility across the market.
Expansion into Brazil strengthened Brinta’s regional positioning
Brinta’s participation in Brazil’s tax reform discussions reinforced its reputation as a relevant player within the fiscal technology ecosystem. The involvement demonstrated that a young startup could contribute to regulatory infrastructure processes in one of Latin America’s largest economies.
This positioning helped Brinta strengthen relationships with both enterprises and government stakeholders, while also highlighting how technology could accelerate processes in sectors traditionally shaped by rigid regulatory systems.
The technology that attracted Vertex
Brinta developed its platform around three integrated modules designed to address the fragmented tax landscape of Latin America:
- Real-time tax determination
- Automated electronic invoicing
- Tax obligation filing and compliance
This architecture enabled companies to manage complex fiscal requirements through a more centralized and efficient system.
For Vertex, the acquisition represented an opportunity to accelerate its regional expansion strategy. Instead of building local capabilities from scratch, the company gained access to a platform specifically created for Latin America’s regulatory environment.
The acquisition also positioned Vertex with a stronger competitive advantage in a market defined by constantly evolving tax rules and operational complexity.
