About neo.tax
Rockets are flying into space and landing on drone ships, cars are driving autonomously, and HD video calls can connect people on opposite sides of the globe. But a company doing their business taxes is still extremely manual, tedious, and just...painful.
That's why neo.tax exists. We want to use modern technology to bring business taxes into the 21st century.
We're starting with the R&D tax credit. Our first product simplifies the complex and difficult process of helping companies apply for the , which puts hundreds of thousands of dollars into each company's pocket.
But this is only the start.
Our vision is to leverage AI to map the tax genome and help small businesses automate their taxes and optimize their entire financial strategy.
