april reimagines tax as an always-on, embedded experience rather than a once-a-year scramble. The company provides white-labeled, AI-powered tax tools that financial institutions and fintech apps embed directly into their products, so consumers can file taxes and understand tax implications without leaving the apps they already use.
The platform delivers real-time tax intelligence: helping users see the impact of every paycheck, equity transaction or income shift, and stay ahead of tax payments throughout the year. This embedded model is designed to make tax a continuous part of financial decision-making instead of a standalone event.
In early 2025, april became the first new company in over 15 years to achieve national e-file coverage, a milestone reached by only about ten other companies. During the 2024 tax season it was available to millions of Americans through more than 50 partners, processing hundreds of thousands of returns.
With its $38M Series B led by QED Investors, april is expanding its embedded tax services across US financial institutions. The round brought total funding to $78 million.
The company was founded by Daniel Marcus, former CTO at Waze, and Ben Borodach, who leads april as co-founder and CEO and previously worked at Team8 and Deloitte.
