All-in-one Accounting Services for New York Businesses

Counto is an all-in-one accounting service that combines smart automation with a dedicated finance team. We handle your bookkeeping, payroll, taxes, payments, and compliance—so you don’t have to juggle multiple vendors, apps, or disconnected platforms. Everything you need is managed in one place, by one trusted team.

We combine two things most accounting firms can’t match: cutting-edge AI technology and truly personal support. While our intelligent automation handles everything from transaction processing to complex analysis, you get something equally valuable—direct access to your dedicated Customer Success Manager (CSM) via phone or SMS.

This dual approach sets us apart. Our AI technology drives efficiency and reduces costs, while your dedicated team ensures you get expert guidance whenever you need it. It’s the best of both worlds: advanced automation that saves you money, plus the kind of personal support typically reserved for large enterprise clients.
