About april
april doesn't sell you a tax app — it puts one inside the financial products you already use. Banks, fintechs, and payroll platforms embed april's filing, planning, and estimation tools, and because the host app already knows your financial life, april's AI can strip most of the questions out of a tax return.
Founded in 2021 by Ben Borodach and Daniel Marcous, april has raised roughly $78M, including a $38M Series B led by QED Investors, and in 2026 launched a version of its platform for wealth-management and advisory firms.
aprilPro is an AI-driven, end-to-end embedded filing experience: the AI minimizes the questions a filer must answer by drawing on partner-app data, with licensed tax professionals handling complex cases.
Highlights
- Embedded in partner banking, fintech, and payroll apps rather than sold standalone
- Raised ~$78M total, including a $38M Series B led by QED Investors (2025)
- Expanded to wealth-management and advisory firms in 2026
