COUNT closes pre-seed round

Today we're announcing that COUNT has closed its pre-seed round, backed by Morgan Stanley, Data Tech Fund, First Row Partners, and a group of operators who have built and sold accounting software before.

Small businesses spend an extraordinary amount of time on work that software should simply do. Coding transactions. Chasing receipts. Reconciling a bank feed line by line at 10pm on a Sunday. None of that work creates value for a customer.

COUNT exists to remove it. Our models read your bank feeds, your bills, and your receipts, then close the books behind you while you run the business. Up to 95% of transactions are categorised correctly on day one, and accuracy climbs from there as the system learns your vendors.

The new funding goes into three places: deeper New Zealand bank coverage, a faster mobile capture experience in COUNT Go, and the accountant workspace so firms can run entire client portfolios inside COUNT.

If you run a business or a firm and want early access to what we're building next, get in touch. We read every message.
