Outsourced Accounting & HR Services for San Diego Startups

San Diego’s innovation corridor stretches from genomics clusters in La Jolla to defense-tech workshops in Kearny Mesa and fintech hubs in Carlsbad. Whatever you’re building, therapeutics, drones, or developer tools, funders want California-clean books and rock-solid people operations. Countsy delivers a full Finance & People Ops department so you can keep pushing the frontier while we handle the back-office lift.

Why Founders Along the 78 & 805 Trust Countsy

• Life-science fluency. Our controllers manage NIH grants, BARDA contracts, milestone revenue, and clinical trial accruals without a blink.

• California labor-law mastery. We consider split-shift premiums, meal-break rules, and CalSavers deadlines in every payroll cycle we run.

• Investor-grade storytelling. Fractional CFOs craft board decks that resonate with Illumina Ventures, Section 32, and Qualcomm Ventures.

• Elastic resourcing on demand. Add FP&A analysts, payroll admins, or equity specialists the moment the Series B term sheet lands with no painful rehiring cycles.
