Outsourced Accounting & HR Services for Boston Startups

Boston has been spinning research into revenue since DEC first lit up Route 128. Today’s founders build at lightning speed in Kendall Square labs, Seaport lofts, and Fort Point co-working hubs, yet the back office still needs meticulous care. Countsy provides you with a full Finance & People Ops department, allowing your team to continually push the boundaries of biotech, AI, and robotics. At the same time, we maintain accurate financial records and support the people behind them.

Why Boston Startups Choose Countsy

  • Deep tech fluency. Our CFOs already understand ARR, non-dilutive grants, and milestone-based revenue, which is perfect for life sciences, deep tech, and SaaS hybrids.

  • Board-ready GAAP. General Catalyst, Bessemer, and Polaris demand clean books; we close fast and prepare the decks that secure the next tranche.

  • Massachusetts compliance mastered. Corporate excise tax, MA Paid Family & Medical Leave, and Wage Act nuances handled.

  • Elastic support. Scale from Seed to IPO without re-hiring your entire back office. Add FP&A pods, equity admins, or payroll specialists just in time.
