                if(!in_array($user['User']['company_id'], $arrCompany['company'])){

                    $arrCompany['company'][$user['User']['company_id']][] = $user;

                }

        }

Answer 1

Do a find on the Company model, then you can get a count of users easily.

$results = $this->Company->find('all');
foreach($results as $k => $company) {
    $results[$k]['Company']['user_count'] = count($company['User']);
}

Something along those lines. The returned results will be an array of Company records and each Company record will have a list of associated user records in the User key.
