About

COUNT is an accounting platform for small businesses and the accounting firms that serve them. It covers the day-to-day ledger — customers and invoicing, vendors and bills, bank transactions and reconciliation, journal entries and the chart of accounts — along with budgets, projects, time tracking, payroll and financial reporting.

COUNT is operated by COUNT Financial Inc. The product itself lives at getcount.com, and workspaces are used at app.getcount.com.

This is the developer documentation for the COUNT Partner API — the interface a third-party product uses to read and write a COUNT customer's accounting data, once that customer has authorized it. It currently documents 190 endpoints across 25 resource groups, and a remote MCP server exposing 210 tools to agents.

Every endpoint page is generated from typed data rather than hand-written, and the documented routes are checked against the backend's own route definitions before release, so the reference cannot quietly drift from the API it describes.

The same content is published in machine-readable form: an OpenAPI 3.0 specification, an llms.txt index, and agent instructions.

Partners integrating COUNT into their own product — bookkeeping tools, lending and underwriting, spend management, vertical SaaS that needs its customers' books — and agent developers connecting COUNT over MCP. Partner credentials are issued after review rather than self-serve; the partner programme describes the process.

COUNT publishes a trust centre at trust.getcount.com covering its security posture and compliance, and a live status page at status.getcount.com. Source for the COUNT CLI is published at github.com/getcount.
