What is COUNT?
COUNT is an AI accounting platform for small businesses with a cloud dashboard and a mobile app called COUNT Go. It automates transaction categorization, receipt matching, bill processing, invoicing, and reporting, and connects to more than 13,000 services including Shopify, Stripe, Chase, and AmEx. The site positions it as a QuickBooks alternative for owners who want less jargon.
Why COUNT works
Small business accounting still involves coding every transaction by hand, chasing missing receipts, and waiting on a CPA to clean it up monthly. COUNT pushes that work upstream by auto-categorizing transactions with high accuracy, auto-matching receipts captured on the phone, and flagging outliers, so the books are close to closed without a marathon end-of-month session.
