About
April provides a suite of embeddable, AI-powered tax solutions designed for modern financial platforms that want to go beyond basic financial services and offer truly integrated tax experiences. Using a mobile-first SDK or a hosted integration option, platforms can rapidly embed white-label tax products without building from scratch. The core product suite includes tax filing — a white-labeled experience that imports client data and supports both self-service and professionally-led options — as well as tax forecasting, which lets platforms run detailed "what-if" scenarios to calculate tax implications at the point of financial decisions. April also offers tax transcript retrieval to accelerate onboarding and provide advisors with historical tax data and actionable insights. April targets three main industries: wealth and investing (enabling tax-informed investment strategies), SMB and gig platforms (helping differentiate product offerings for commission-based and gig workers), and banking and credit (supporting multi-product relationships). Trusted by companies like Compound Planning and Percapita, April transforms tax from an annual compliance headache into a continuous value-add, enabling platforms to capture every financial moment and become their clients' trusted all-in-one financial solution.
