Outsourced Accounting & HR Services for Seattle Startups

Seattle founders know how to turn innovative ideas into global businesses, from Pioneer Square garages to South Lake Union penthouses. But keeping the books clean and the people processes humming while you chase product-market fit is its own Rainer climb. Countsy lets you focus on shipping code and delighting customers while a complete Finance & People Ops department handles the rest.
