We make it easier to run businesses
Self-employment is an uphill climb. The last thing you need is the extra baggage of financial admin.
It’s why we’re building the business account with integrated tax, accounting, and bookkeeping: to take the weight off your shoulders as you get your business up.
What is Countingup?
Countingup is the award-winning business current account (e-money) built for sole traders and small limited companies.
The unique two-in-one app simplifies bookkeeping and taxes, helping business people across the UK save time and money.
How did it all start?
Tim Fouracre, former CEO of Clearbooks, founded Countingup in 2017 to give self-employed people time back to focus on doing what they love and do best.
Since then, we’ve helped over 50,000 UK businesses and grown our team to 50+ people.
