AI Tax Workflow for accounting firms

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We are building an AI-powered tax workflow platform tailored for accounting firms. Our product automates client data intake, enters data into legacy accounting software, and manages final tax return delivery. This reduces human error and saves time for accountants who currently rely on manual and error-prone processes.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live and work in Tempe, Arizona and plan to keep the company based there after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We are based in Tempe because it's where the founding team lives and where we have access to strong local developers. We don't see a need to relocate since our product is software targeting B2B accounting firms nationwide.
