About us

We’re making taxes suck less

TaxWatch was born from frustration. We knew there had to be a better way to track expenses, find deductions, and stay on top of your money — so we built it.

Our story

A shoebox of receipts, reimagined

It started with a shoebox full of receipts and a spreadsheet more confusing than helpful. Like millions of self-employed people, our founder spent hours every month making sense of expenses, worried about missing deductions, and dreading tax season.

The existing tools were too complicated, too expensive, or built for accountants rather than regular people. There had to be a better way.

TaxWatch is the tax assistant we wished we had — one that syncs with your accounts, categorizes every transaction, tracks your net worth, and proactively finds the deductions you’re missing. No accounting degree required.

Today it helps thousands of freelancers, investors, families, and business owners save time and money. And we’re just getting started.

Every feature starts with a real problem our users face. Your feedback shapes the roadmap.

Security always

We treat your financial data like our own — bank-level encryption and privacy by design.

Simple by design

Taxes are complicated enough. We make the complex simple without sacrificing power.
