CountWorks, LLC

CountWorks is a San Jose, CA-based financial operations firm built specifically for VC-backed startups. Rather than forcing founders to piece together accounting software, a part-time bookkeeper, and a fractional CFO from separate vendors, CountWorks bundles all of it under one roof. The result is a coordinated financial back office that follows a startup from its first funding round through to exit. The core service offering covers the full spectrum of day-to-day and strategic financial work. On the operational side, CountWorks handles bookkeeping, payroll processing, accounts payable, and accounts receivable. On the administrative side, the team manages benefits administration so that growing headcount does not create a compliance burden for founders. Alongside these back office functions, CountWorks provides strategic financial counsel through a team of part-time Controllers, CPAs, and CFOs who bring senior-level expertise without the cost of full-time executive hires. CountWorks works exclusively with venture-backed technology companies. Their client roster has included names from the semiconductor and AI sectors, such as Rapid Silicon, Primis AI, and Global Semiconductor Group, which points to a track record serving technically complex, fast-moving businesses where financial accuracy and investor reporting standards are non-negotiable. The startup focus also means the team understands how financial priorities shift as a company moves from seed stage through Series A and beyond. One of the more practical elements of what CountWorks offers is its client onboarding support. New clients are guided through the financial setup process from day one, which reduces the friction that typically slows down early-stage companies trying to get their books in order while simultaneously building product and closing sales. This structured approach to onboarding reflects a methodology oriented toward operational efficiency rather than ad-hoc consulting. If your startup needs a reliable outsourcing partner for finance and back office functions, CountWorks is worth a conversation. You can reach the team through their website to discuss your current stage and what a managed financial solution might look like for your business.
