Countingup

Countingup is a business current account with integrated accounting and tax capabilities. The app automates bookkeeping through its built-in accounting software.

As a full stack engineer, I was responsible for the development of the core business offering - the mobile app. It offered a business current account with integrated accounting and tax capabilities.

One of the biggest projects I worked on was digital VAT returns. The UK government's Making Tax Digital initiative required our customers to submit their VAT returns to HMRC digitally. I built an integrated VAT solution that calculated, prepared, and submitted VAT returns directly to HMRC, significantly reducing administrative burden for our customers.

After the VAT solution was launched, I tackled our clients' biggest frustration: payment collection. By developing a shareable payment link system powered by Stripe, we eliminated cumbersome bank detail exchanges entirely. This solution dramatically accelerated the time to get paid by creating an easy to use payment experience for our customers' end clients.
