The idea of starting a tax company began in late 2014 while on a trip to Ja****le, WY. CEO/Founder Randy Perry and Founder Brian Petrovich took the ideas they discussed while hiking the Teton Mountains and formed a boutique tax preparation company that primarily serviced clients who travel frequently for work. While reviewing (and eventually amending) taxes for their clients from the previous year
, they started noticing a trend. Traveling for work makes taxes so complicated that even the most recognized “experts” were making errors. And those mistakes were costing their clients hundreds, even thousands of dollars. To solve this problem, Randy and Brian came up with new business models and concepts they wanted to incorporate into tax software. The idea began to take shape when Randy met Erich Von Hinken and Brandon True. Shortly after meeting, the team was selected to participate in Boomtown, a technology accelerator based in Boulder, CO. During that time, Eric and Brandon helped turn some of those same ideas into highly advanced software, while building in new and exciting ideas of their own.
