Our story

Behind Keeper is a small team with a big vision: to help more Americans access the tax breaks they deserve.

Every year, around 40 million Americans overpay on their taxes by an average of $1,249. We call this phenomenon The Freelance Tax Tragedy, and Keeper exists to put an end to it.

To do this, we’ve redesigned tax filing software from the ground up around personalization, intelligence, and impeccable user experience. Our automatic write-off identification technology allows people to simply connect a financial account, wait 45 seconds, and watch as hundreds of dollars get added to their tax refunds.

By redesigning tax software from the ground up, we have the tools to give The Freelance Tax Tragedy a happy ending — one where 40 million Americans can sleep soundly and even flourish in today's economy, knowing more of their hard-earned money is theirs to keep.

Our promises

We exist to serve our customers, and uphold the following promises.

We'll make your taxes feel magical.

It's a big claim, and we mean it. Keeper is unlike any tax software you've used before. From uncovering easy-to-miss tax breaks automatically, to our audit protection systems that assess hundreds of variables for audit risks, to pulling in a human tax expert when needed.

Come as you are.

No receipts? No problem. Didn’t track miles? No worries. Haven't heard of Accrual Accounting? Why would you. Come as you are and Keeper will take care of your taxes. When your taxes get tricky, we’ll be there to explain things. We’ll tell you exactly what is being asked and why. If you ever have a followup question, one of our tax experts is just a message away.

We’ll be upfront.

Our prices are transparent, and there are no hidden upsells. We only make money when customers choose to subscribe (not via advertising 3rd party services to you, or by reselling data).
