Outsourced Accounting & HR Services for Silicon Valley Startups

From Y Combinator’s Demo Day in Mountain View to investor meetings on Sand Hill Road, Silicon Valley founders move at a velocity unmatched anywhere on the planet. Term sheets arrive overnight, teams double in a quarter, and product pivots can happen between sprints. To keep pace, you need a back office that evolves just as quickly. Countsy delivers an integrated Finance & People Ops department, so you can stay laser-focused on shipping products and capturing market share.
