Big week at @RivetTax!

So proud of what the team has shipped. This is what modern tax software should feel like.

BREAKING: @RivetTax raises a $5.1M seed round to bring AI to tax prep.

Led by former Ramp exec @NickAbouzeid, the company blends automation with ex–Big 4 accountants and already serves Cursor, Cognition, and ModRetro.

Nick will be on TBPN today at 1:30p PT to discuss.

[Nick Abouzeid, EA @nickabouzeid]

Today is Day 652 @RivetTax.

Since launch, we’ve filed over 1000 tax returns for companies like Cursor & Cognition. We've become #1 most-rated firm on Sam's List.

But today is special, because we get to announce our $5.1m seed round led by XYZ Ventures & Susa Ventures.

[Kyle Christenson @K__Christenson]

Context is everything in tax. It’s where the negotiation is won or lost with the IRS. Tax tech is a liability without solving for this. The acquisition of @LobbySo gives us a head start in building tech that improves the client and tax pro experience without compromising context.

Some news!

We’re joining forces with @RivetTax.

Over the last two years running Lobby, we launched four products at the cutting edge of AI, all focused on helping teams customize and fine-tune these models to make them go from good to great

What excited me about joining Rivet was the idea of putting our code into the hands of hundreds of clients and tax preparers on Day 1 – tax season is right around the corner, we can’t wait to show you what we’ve been working on

PS. My mom is actually a CPA in Georgia – peaches don’t fall far from the tree, after all

[Nick Abouzeid, EA @nickabouzeid]

It’s Day 329 at Rivet, but today is just the beginning

Proud to announce – we've acquired @LobbySo to power the future of AI-empowered tax prep, with Lobby's founder @WiLSONSACCOUNT joining Rivet as our founding engineer to drive our AI efforts internally

Tax prep is both art and science. The art is in interpreting IRS guidance and guiding clients through their own interpretations of their financial realities.

The science is a set of tasks that need to be completed to furnish a completed tax return to a client, most of which involve finding some specific string of numbers or letters, a needle in a haystack of emails, PDFs, Zoom transcripts, and Slack conversations.

The art of tax preparation cannot and should not be automated. But the tedium of trawling 1000s of pages of PDFs for a specific cost basis for a secondary sale, or thumbing through a transcript for the name of a subsidiary entity mentioned once, that absolutely should be. The meat of tax preparation isn’t just converting a single W-2 or K-1 into a data packet that Drake or CCH can interpret, but knowing where to find needles in client-provided haystacks.

Wilson and the rest of the Lobby team spent the last three years focused on reliably pulling specific answers from reams of unstructured data. And just in the last month of working together, we know we’ve made the right call having Wilson join the team.

Personally, I’m just excited for next tax season when we can put all of his & the rest of the team’s hard work all to good use! 🥂

When I see products like @lobbyso do the same thing and get paying customers right away, I can just not help but appreciate the genius so many founders couldn't get to intuitively, but wilson consistently got to.
