Financials That Reflect Reality.
Personalized bookkeeping and reporting for businesses and non-profits — so you can stay with the work you do best while the books remain accurate, current, and reporting-ready.
We help you see the full picture through your financials.
Accurate books and thoughtful reporting should do more than balance. They can give you an honest read on the performance of your organization.
Built for the Long Run
Since 2014, we've helped owners and executive directors move bookkeeping off their desks — whether your systems are solid or need a reset, we can help.
Reporting You Can Trust
Reports clear enough to hand to a board, a CPA, or a funder — with numbers you can stand behind.
Alongside Your Team
We learn how you operate, review what's in place, and build a smooth handoff — working with your staff, CPA, and funders when it matters.
Disciplined books. Quiet follow-through.
Founded in 2014, Counting House pairs hands-on bookkeeping with a corporate finance background — including responsibility for $250 million in retail inventory before the firm opened.

Compliance-Minded
Grant cycles, funder portals, and documentation standards are part of the work — not an afterthought. We know what auditors and reviewers expect.
Adaptable
Wherever your books are today, we meet you there and help you move forward with less friction.
When Deadlines Are Fixed
Month-end, grant reporting, and tax season don't bend. We follow through — including evenings and weekends when the work demands it.
