All-in-one Accounting for Foreign Entrepreneurs Running a US Business

Bookkeeping, tax filing, payroll, and compliance—Counto gives non-US founders everything needed to stay compliant and financially healthy in the United States.

Powered by a real-time accounting platform and backed by real accountants, Counto runs your books continuously using deterministic workflows. Routine work is automated, and we only reach out when business context is needed—so you get cleaner books with less back-and-forth and no month-end chaos.

Built for Global Founders with US LLCs & Corporations

If you’re a non-US founder operating through a US LLC or corporation, Counto keeps your books, reports, and filings on track—without juggling multiple accountants, tools, or vendors.

We handle your ongoing bookkeeping, real-time reporting, and tax filings (federal + 1 state included). As you grow, you can add payroll, contractor compliance, and additional state filings seamlessly—without switching providers.

Optimized for single-entity businesses (one LLC or one C-Corp). Multi-entity support is coming later.

Here’s what Counto gives you — your own Customer Success Manager plus an accounting and tax team. We’re remote-first and responsive, so you’re never left waiting, guessing, or managing compliance alone while running your business from abroad.

AI-powered efficiency that lowers cost — not quality

Most accounting firms rely heavily on manual processing, which drives up hourly fees and slows down reporting. Counto’s platform automates repetitive workflows like transaction processing, categorization, reconciliations, and routine adjustments using deterministic rules and event-driven automation.

This means our experts focus only on exceptions, judgment calls, and strategic guidance—allowing us to deliver faster turnaround, more consistent accuracy, and bundled pricing without the traditional accounting firm cost structure.
