Mission

Keeper is an AI-powered human-in-the-loop service that replicates the experience of having a dedicated accountant. Our goal is to give everyone access to an accountant who knows the user's tax situation really well and provides advice specific to their situation. We focus on a number of different tax complexities, and of those complexities, freelancers are one of our biggest customer bases. For freelancers, it's complicated to figure out which types of deductions are acceptable to the IRS. We have customizations for hundreds of different types of jobs, personalizing our tax prep for every type of freelancer. Beyond 1099 income, we support late filing, extensions, amendments, and S corps, and are continuously pushing ourselves to handle the tax scenarios that are most important to our users.

User feedback

Users love our product! We have 20,000 4.8-star reviews across the App Store, Play Store, and Trustpilot. Here's a sampling of the customer feedback we've received: > Keeper is THE BEST investment I’ve made EVER!! It took all the worry and confusion out of my first schedule C process and I couldn’t be more happy. Now I have to figure out what to do with all the time Keeper just saved me 😊 > This was the BEST tax experience I have ever had. I opened my own business this year but I had other 1099 from side hustles which made my tax process more complicated then normal. But their app made everything so easy to understand, it organised my books, it sent my tax files for free it was SO SIMPLE. > This year I was inundated with forms. Freelance, dog-walking, two W-2 jobs and then some. Other tax apps couldn’t seem to keep up. I was skeptical at first, but this app is literally a godsend. It did all the thinking for me.
