In Costa Rica, micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises represent more than 97% of the business fabric and generate nearly 40% of formal employment, according to the Ministry of Economy, Industry, and Commerce (MEIC). In an environment where digitization and operational efficiency are key to sustainability, smart savings are consolidating as an essential strategy for growth.

According to Alegra's 2025 SME Report, 39% of Costa Rican small and medium-sized enterprises have managed to reduce their operating expenses by adopting technological and digital management solutions, reflecting the positive impact that innovation has on the financial health of the business ecosystem.

“The real savings come not only from cutting costs, but also from anticipating the future. When companies have reliable and up-to-date information, they can make smarter decisions, reduce risks, and grow sustainably,” said Miguel Hervás, general manager of Alegra in Costa Rica.

Alegra has strengthened its presence in the country by supporting thousands of SMEs in their accounting and tax digitization process. Its predictive financial analysis functionality, powered by artificial intelligence, allows users to project scenarios, analyze trends, and anticipate financial imbalances, building a culture of savings based on knowledge rather than intuition.

“Technology should free up time, not consume it. Our purpose is to help SMEs and accountants gain control over their finances with tools that integrate artificial intelligence, efficiency, and peace of mind,” added Hervás.

As part of World Savings Day, Alegra shares five recommendations to strengthen a culture of smart business savings:

1. Anticipate scenarios: use predictive financial analysis to understand how current decisions impact future results.

2. Automate processes: reduce errors and free up operational time.

3. Centralize management: organize tasks and obligations from a single digital environment, even from WhatsApp.

4. Control cash flow: monitor income and expenses in real time.

5. Strengthen knowledge: promote financial education and technological training for your team.

With these tools, Alegra reaffirms its commitment to business financial education and the digital transformation of SMEs and accountants in Costa Rica, promoting a vision where savings, innovation, and sustainability go hand in hand.
