Countinghouse

DESIGN-PARTNER PREVIEW

The ERP that does its own accounting.

One system for product companies that make things and sell them everywhere — purchasing, planning, production, capacity, people, and the books. No implementation project. No consultant channel. No module pricing.

WHY THIS EXISTS

You already know what an ERP implementation is: a year of your life, a consulting partner, and a system where operations and accounting are two departments arguing through a reconciliation. The complexity isn't an accident — it's the business model. Nobody in that channel gets paid if it's simple.

Countinghouse is one idea carried all the way down: operations produce events; events produce the ledger; everything else is a view. Receive a purchase order and inventory moves. Finish a batch and unit cost moves. Ship and the invoice sends itself. There is nothing to reconcile, because the financials and the operations are the same numbers.

receive → make → ship  ⟶  events  ⟶  ledger  ⟶  every screen, every statement

WHAT THAT MEANS IN PRACTICE

Live in days, not quarters

Paste the spreadsheets you already run on — items, recipes, open invoices and bills, the bank statement. The importer maps the columns, shows its work, you confirm. The switch-day balance sheet stands up complete.

Month-end is a checklist, not a project

The close fills itself in — including the line every controller doubts: ledger vs. operations — nothing to reconcile. Bank statements import and auto-match. Statements are a read of the ledger, never a compilation.

Keep QuickBooks until it's redundant

Your books stay in QuickBooks while a monthly summary entry and an automatic trial-balance comparison prove ours match — month after month. Cut over on your schedule, or never. You are never hostage.

Recall-ready traceability

Receipts carry vendor lots, every batch is its work order, and one search answers both recall questions: which customers received a lot, and which vendor lots went into a batch.

Both channels, one P&L

Wholesale orders on terms with real AR — and your Shopify week as one settlement entry: gross, fees, refunds, payout, with channel COGS kept true. Reconciled by construction.

Legible to people — and to AI

A capable operator understands the whole system in a week. The same API is exposed to AI agents: ask “what should I make this week?” and the answer comes from live planning. Agents draft; humans release.

Built for small-to-mid product companies — food, supplements, consumer goods — that buy materials, run production, and sell DTC + wholesale. Deliberately not built: payroll and tax engines (best-in-class integrations instead), multi-entity consolidation, per-customer workflow configuration. Refusing those is why it stays simple.

We're choosing design partners.

If you make things, sell them direct and wholesale, and your month-end is a project — we want your real items, your real week, and your honest friction while the product hardens around a real shop. Your books stay protected in QuickBooks the whole time, and your data is a plain, exportable ledger.
