Count # of Parent Rows in a Sheet

What formula can I use that simply counts the number of parent rows in a single sheet?

My scenario: Each parent row is a different customer. I want to know how many active customers a particular PM is working with and link that number to a metric widget on the PM's internal dashboard.
