We’re on a Mission to Give Firms Time Back
Modern Accounting for the New Automation Age
At COUNT, we believe accounting should be fast, smart, and scalable—free from the constraints of spreadsheets and legacy systems.
That’s why we built COUNT—an AI-powered accounting platform designed to help firms automate the most time-consuming parts of bookkeeping and make their businesses more efficient and profitable.
What started as a simple idea—make bookkeeping less painful for accountants—has become a mission to modernize the entire accounting stack for firms everywhere.
Our Story
The idea behind COUNT was born from firsthand frustration.
Our founder, Chris Smith, saw accounting teams spending hours each day on repetitive tasks like sorting receipts, reconciling transactions, and chasing down paperwork—often using a tangled web of outdated software, manual processes, and disconnected third-party tools.
The result? Burnout, inefficiency, and thousands of dollars wasted in time and labor every month.
Rather than build another layer on top of legacy systems, we rethought the stack from the ground up—designing COUNT as an AI-powered ledger that could automate work, reduce errors, and save time for accounting firms of all sizes
Since its launch, COUNT has grown to serve thousands of businesses and helped accounting firms increase efficiency by up to 30% in our short existence.
Be the Future of Accounting
Despite the U.S. shortage of more than 340,000 accountants, COUNT empowers firms to thrive and flourish by:
- Making low-margin clients profitable
- Minimizing dependence on manual work and external outsourcing.
- Serving more clients without hiring more staff
- Automating the busywork that slows firms down
Backed by Experience, Not Just Investors
We’re a founder-led team with deep experience in AI, accounting, and building successful companies.
