The problem

Accounting as a cost. Until it is a crisis.

  • Management accounts arrive late, then the line-item arguments start.
  • Fees are itemised per report, including VAT months with nothing to file.
Bank statements, tax invoices and a navy folder of the books, with VAT totals on the invoice.

The wound

VAT. Invoices. The books.

Funding day

Then you reconstruct three years of statements.

Funding day comes, and the pack is a worn binder. Firms in this band — practices, professional services, construction — should not be working from late statements when the file is due.

The turn

Meet your accountant. On WhatsApp.

Ask anything. Snap an invoice. It asks before a missing document becomes a month-end scramble.

01

Ask anything

What is this payment? Can I cover salaries? Where will the month land? Answered in seconds, in the chat you already use.

Snap an invoice

A bank statement shows a total. A tax invoice splits the VAT and supports the figure. Send the photo. It is filed.

The human behind it

Anything uncertain, checked by a human accountant.

Profit can look fine while cash will not cover salaries. CountSI shows both. When the question is “what now”, your accountant is a message away.

  • Books kept as money moves, not months later.
  • Management accounts every month, without chasing anyone.
  • Judgement, budgets and signed financials stay with a person.

How to start

Three steps.

  1. 01

    Join with your WhatsApp number

    Name, number, the kind of firm you run. That is all the waitlist asks.

  2. 02

    We message you when a place opens

    CountSI is rolling out with real South African SMEs. No public pricing yet, on purpose.

  3. 03

    Send a photo of an invoice

    That is the start. Ask what a payment is. Get the pack at month end. A person checks anything uncertain.

Questions

Plain answers.

What do I get?

You know where the business stands this week, not months later. You can ask what a payment is, whether you can cover salaries, and get an answer on WhatsApp. At month end you receive management accounts. Anything uncertain is checked by a human accountant.

Do I need new software?

No. CountSI lives on WhatsApp, in the chat you already use. Snap an invoice, ask a question, get the pack. That is the product.

What if I paid something with no paperwork?

It asks, before it is a problem. If money left the account and there is no invoice, you get a message. Send the photo when you have it.

Is a person involved?

Yes. CountSI keeps the books and explains the numbers as they happen. Anything it is not sure about is checked by an accountant. Advice, signed financials and the "what now" conversation stay human.

How much does it cost?

Pricing is not published yet. Join the waitlist and we will talk about what you need, not a bundle built around someone else.

Who is it for?

South African SMEs in accounting and bookkeeping practice, professional services, and construction. Tired of late packs, itemised fees, and reconstructing three years of statements on funding day — with payroll questions that cannot wait.

Know where you stand. Every day.

Join the waitlist. We will message you on WhatsApp when a place opens.
