Behind Countfire
The team behind the estimating standard.
Every bid depends on the numbers behind it. Countfire was built on that idea: using technology to make estimating more efficient, with accuracy at its core.
About
Estimating teams in 20+ countries use Countfire to produce accurate, consistent estimates and bid for more work without adding headcount.
Countfire is led by co-founder Aidan Kane as part of TAG Software Group, with the long-term backing to keep building better software for estimating teams, made by people who understand the work.

Aidan Kane
Managing Director
With a background in computer science and over 20 years in the industry, Aidan is well-renowned as a programmer and technical leader. He co-founded Countfire in 2012 and now leads the business, working closely with the product and development teams.
"Countfire started as a better way to do takeoffs. It's become the way estimating teams run their whole bid process. That's the next chapter we're building."
