Building accounting as infrastructure

The opportunity

Accounting software split into two markets decades ago. Businesses got ledgers. Firms got practice tools. A typical practice now runs five or six systems, and the client sees none of it working together.

COUNT treats accounting as infrastructure. Practice Manager and COUNT Workspace share the same data model, so the firm and every client work from one live system. Work that used to be re-keyed between products simply flows.

Why now

Two shifts make this possible. Open banking coverage makes transaction data reliable. New models are good enough to code, check and draft the routine work that consumes a firm's capacity.

Together they change the unit economics of running a practice. Firms that own the infrastructure can grow capacity without growing headcount at the same rate.

Traction and focus

We launched in the United States in July 2025 and in New Zealand in February 2026. Founding partner firms run their entire client portfolios inside COUNT.

We have raised US$5 million to date: a US$1 million pre-seed led by Morgan Stanley, and a US$4 million seed round led by Data Tech Fund and KBF Advisory.

Our near-term focus is deeper bank and revenue-authority coverage, the partner directory, and the developer platform at developers.getcount.com.
