About

april is an embedded tax platform that lets banks, payroll providers, and fintechs offer tax filing, planning, and forecasting inside their own apps. Its AI tax engine ingests partner data to pre-fill forms, and the company says median filing time is 22 minutes versus the IRS average of 13 hours. It raised a $38M Series B in 2025 (about $78M total) and was the first new company in 15 years to gain national e-file approval across all 50 states.

It is B2B2C, so individuals generally access it through a partner app rather than directly, and it is US-focused.

What it can do

  • API-first embedded tax filing
  • AI tax engine with partner data pre-fill
  • National e-file across all 50 states
  • Tax planning and withholding tools
