- This role offers the opportunity to work closely with both U.S. and international teams, contributing to the development of scalable, compliant, and high-performing tax software solutions

Our take
Managing tax payments is a highly stressful and time-consuming process, with taxpayers having to track their earnings and calculate claimable expenditures, whilst navigating convoluted tax codes. Whilst tax-paying software makes this process easier, they still require manual data entry and tax code lookups, preventing the tools from being automated.
April provides an all-in-one platform for automated tax filing, aiming to streamline tax preparation, maximize tax refunds, and ensure seamless and on-time returns for its users. The company achieves this by integrating its software tools directly within the financial applications of its users, tracking their earnings and expenditures, learning individual tax scenarios, and ultimately ensuring that refunds are accurate without requiring extensive manual data entry.
Whilst many other fintech companies are developing tools that aim to make tax filing easier, April currently stands out with its approach to integrating within existing software, identifying the implications this has for automated data entry. The company is well-funded and has been investing in accelerating research and development as well as the expansion of its operations. It also recently bolstered its leadership team, in preparation for its next "chapter of growth".
