Most people stay with their gestor, or their spreadsheet, long after it stops serving them. Not because it's good, but because switching feels like a hassle, and the thing you've got, however clunky, is at least familiar.
Here's the honest case for making the move to Facturaz, including the part everyone worries about: bringing your history with you. Spoiler: it's far easier than you think, and most people are fully set up the same day.
First, why people are leaving
A few frustrations come up again and again.
The waiting. You email your gestor a simple question and wait a day, two days, for an answer. Meanwhile a decision sits on hold. With Facturaz you ask GestorIA and get a straight answer from your own numbers, instantly.
The black box. Your gestor files things, but you never really see your own business. How's this quarter versus last? Where's the money going? Can you afford to slow down next month? You're paying someone and still flying blind. Facturaz puts your numbers in front of you, in plain language, any time.
The spreadsheet that's one wrong click from chaos. If your system is an Excel file, you already know its dark side: a deleted formula, a number in the wrong cell, a tab nobody understands anymore, and none of it is Verifactu-compliant, which is a problem that's only getting bigger.
The cost. A gestor's monthly fee adds up, often for work that software now does automatically. Facturaz is one simple plan that does the invoicing, the expenses, the tax calculations and the filing-ready forms, for a fraction of it.
None of this means gestores are bad. It means a lot of what you used to need one for, the routine monthly work, can now run itself, and you can spend professional help (if you still want it) on the genuinely tricky questions instead of data entry.
The real worry: "what about all my history?"
This is what stops most people. Years of invoices, a client list, past expenses, the fear is that switching means leaving it all behind or re-entering it by hand. You don't, and you won't.
Bring your old invoices with you
Facturaz lets you import your existing invoices, and the AI does the heavy lifting. Upload them and it reads each one, the number, the client, the amount, the IVA, the IRPF, and creates a draft, building your client list as it goes. You're not typing anything in; you're reviewing what the AI already pulled out.
Imported invoices are clearly tagged, "Needs review" first, then "Imported" once you've checked them, so you always know what's what. And importantly, they count only towards your own overview and reports, never towards Verifactu. That means there's zero risk of an old invoice being accidentally re-filed or double-counted. Your history comes along for context, safely, without touching your live compliance.
The result: you keep your full picture, who your clients are, what you've billed, how the business has trended, without a single evening of manual entry.
Then it gets easier than your old setup ever was
Once your history's in, day-to-day work is where Facturaz pulls ahead, especially on expenses.
Expenses that book themselves
With a gestor, you collect receipts and hand them over. With a spreadsheet, you type each one in. With Facturaz, you photograph a receipt or forward it from your email, and the AI books it for you, date, supplier, amount, IVA, category, all filled in.
It even tells you who each supplier is, writing a short description from their website so you can see at a glance what an expense was and why it landed in a given category. Set up an email forwarding rule and your expenses can capture themselves in the background all quarter, with nothing left for you but a quick review.
That's the moment people realise they're not just replacing their old system, they've left it behind entirely.
Invoicing that's compliant by default
Every invoice you create in Facturaz is Verifactu-compliant automatically, signed, registered, sorted. No add-on, no separate step, no worrying whether your spreadsheet meets the new rules. It just does.
Taxes calculated for you
Because your invoices and expenses live in one place, your 303 and 130 are worked out from real numbers, and Facturaz generates the official files ready to file. The monthly grind your gestor used to bill you for largely evaporates.
How the switch actually goes
In practice, it's a single sitting:
- Create your account and tell Facturaz whether you're an autónomo or an SL. Onboarding walks you through it.
- Import your old invoices and let the AI build your drafts and client list. Review and confirm.
- Set up expense capture, forward a couple of recent bills, or add an email rule, and watch them book themselves.
- Send your next invoice from Facturaz, fully compliant, in under a minute.
Most people are done in an afternoon, often less. There's no migration project, no waiting on anyone, no gap where you can't invoice.
"Do I have to fire my gestor?"
Not necessarily, and that's a fair point to make. Some people move everything to Facturaz and handle it all themselves. Others keep a professional for the once-a-year complex things, the annual declaration, an unusual situation, and use Facturaz for all the routine monthly work that used to eat time and money.
Either way, you're in control of your own numbers instead of waiting to be shown them. That shift, from passenger to driver, is what people say they value most after switching.
The bottom line
The thing keeping you on an old gestor or a fragile spreadsheet is usually the fear of moving. But your history comes with you, the AI imports your old invoices and builds your client list without manual entry, and it's all kept safely separate from your live Verifactu invoices. From there, expenses book themselves, invoices are compliant by default, and your taxes are calculated for you.
The familiar option isn't the same as the good one. Switching takes an afternoon. The relief lasts a lot longer.
