COUNT
AI accounting software with a full general ledger, bank feeds, invoicing and optional payroll for small businesses and accounting firms.
What is COUNT?
COUNT is an accounting platform that uses AI to keep the books for freelancers, small teams and accounting firms. It connects to banks and card issuers through read-only connections, imports transactions and statements, and matches them with AI so entries can post to the ledger automatically. It is a full general ledger with cash and accrual books, audit logs of every action and reports including Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet and Trial Balance. Invoicing, estimates, bill tracking and receipt automatching are built in, and customers can pay invoices by card or bank transfer through Stripe. Starter includes 3 custom automation rules, while Growth and Pro include unlimited rules, and Pro adds continuous accuracy monitoring. An optional add-on brings payroll, time tracking and expense claims for each employee. Pricing starts at $15 per month for Starter, with Growth at $29 and Pro at $99, and new customers get a free trial. COUNT also offers one-click migration from popular accounting systems.
