About us
At Countingup we’re on a mission to make it easier to run a small business. We believe that freelancers, contractors and small business owners should have an easier way to manage their business finances. A solution that frees them from the drudgery of financial admin, saves them time and helps them stay organised with the business insights and tools they need to succeed.
We're a venture-backed fin-tech and an early stage startup with ambitious plans for growth. Countingup is the leading UK business current account that’s helped over 50,000 self-employed people save time and money with automatic accounting, tax estimates and instant invoicing.
All of us at Countingup are committed to ‘The Countingup Way’:
- Do our best work
- Enjoy it
- Get it done
