The buzz is real 🐝 This Week in Fintech featured our aprilPro launch in their newsletter & on their podcast. Ryan Zauk said "It’s not just about using AI for the sake of using it. It’s about taking something that’s really complicated and annoying, like doing your taxes, and making it way simpler and faster. That’s real value.” Julie VerHage-Greenberg followed that up with "Who actually enjoys doing their taxes? So if AI can take away some of the stress, that’s a win." We couldn’t agree more. At april, AI isn’t a buzzword; it’s the backbone. This year, we’re using it to make taxes clearer, simpler, and less stressful—for more people than ever before. Tax season, meet your match.
