Accounting, built as it should be.
COUNT is one platform for accounting firms and the businesses they look after. We build it so firms grow effectively and efficiently, and so every business gets accounting software that actually helps it grow and evolve.
Why we built COUNT
We started COUNT because the software accountants work in and the software businesses keep their books in have grown apart. Firms piece together practice tools, spreadsheets and client portals; businesses work in a ledger their accountant can barely see into. Every hand-off costs hours, and the numbers everyone depends on drift out of date.
We wanted to fix that at the foundation: one system of record that the firm and the client both work in, with the practice tools and the accounting experience built on it rather than bolted around it. Work flows both ways in real time, so firms get the capacity and clarity to take on more clients, and businesses get books that are genuinely theirs.
What we believe
One system, not a stack. When the ledger, the client file and the practice workflow share the same record, work stops being duplicated and decisions stop being made on stale numbers.
Your data, your way. Secure access to the whole record — including structured API and MCP access — means firms and businesses can build on their own information instead of waiting on someone else to export it.
Software that supports human work. AI takes the repetitive processing off people, and the people stay where judgement and relationships matter: advising, checking, and standing behind the numbers.
Progress you can start today. Firms bring clients across in waves, at their own pace, while Practice Manager manages tasks, time and billing for every client from day one.
Where we are now
We launched in the United States in 2025 and in New Zealand in 2026, with local bank feeds and live electronic GST filing. Backing from our investors has let us keep building the platform end to end, from the ledger to the practice dashboard, without splitting the product by region.
