COUNT is an accounting platform from COUNT Financial Inc. that describes itself as an AI-native accounting operating system. It brings a general ledger, expense automation, invoicing, bill management, time tracking, document storage and reporting into a single product, so businesses do not need to stitch several tools together.
The company's pitch is "accounting on autopilot." Its AI handles categorization, receipt matching and anomaly checks, leaving owners and accountants to review and approve. COUNT positions itself as a replacement for QuickBooks or Xero rather than an add-on to them, and it offers one-click migration from popular systems.
COUNT connects to banks and card issuers through read-only connections. It imports transactions and statements but cannot move money. Imported transactions are matched by the AI and can post to the ledger automatically. The AI learns a business's vendors and patterns, and the site cites up to 95% categorization accuracy out of the box.
Receipts are captured with the COUNT Go mobile app, where the AI extracts the details and matches each receipt to a bank feed transaction. An outlier detection feature scans entries for duplicate charges, unusual amounts and unfamiliar vendors. Team members and accountants can comment on any transaction, tag colleagues and turn questions into tasks.
On the payables and receivables side, COUNT offers unlimited bill tracking and unlimited invoices and estimates on every plan. Customers can pay by card or ACH, and COUNT sends automatic reminders and matches deposits when payments arrive. Recurring invoices and a custom COUNT email for billing are also listed.
For accountants, COUNT supports cash and accrual books, audit logs of all actions, tags and groups, and exports of Profit and Loss, Balance Sheet and Trial Balance reports. Real-time charts show cash, profit and trends. Custom automation rules are limited to three on Starter and unlimited on Growth and Pro.
Security is a stated priority: SOC 2 Type II compliance, 256-bit SSL encryption, encryption at rest, role-based access and hosting in Microsoft Azure data centers.
